Fibre Optics Trainer

This Fibre-Optics range of equipment provides the means to investigate various aspects of fibre-optic technology and it's use in transmitting analogue and digital data, with particular reference to Telecommunications. The EFO1101 comprises a transmitter, a receiver, two lengths of fibre-optic cable and various electrical connectors and accessories. These are supplied in a specially designed carrying case. The manual, together with the associated textbook on Communications Systems, offers a large amount of relevant theory, supported by a range of practical assignments. Power is provided by an internal battery (supplied) or you can use an external power supply (9 V or 15 V) (not supplied).

EFO1102 Fiber Optics Power Meter (supplied separately) is an accurate, versatile and low-cost unit for measuring optical power levels at terminated optical cables. An easy-to-read pointer scales gives readings in both dBm and microwatts.
