Fiber Optic Communications FACET Board
91025-2Gallery
Description
The Fiber Optic Communications circuit board provides the student with a solid foundation in the theory and practice of fiber optics and communication techniques. The eleven circuit blocks provide hands-on experimentation with several varieties of fiber optic transmission and reception.
Through the interactive LMS format, the student learns the principles of both analog and digital transmission and reception using fiber optic data links. The circuit board may be used in the FACET base unit or as a stand-alone trainer.
- When used in the FACET base unit, the course can be performed through the interactive Learning Management System (LMS) format.
- When used as a stand-alone trainer, the course is performed in a conventional way by using the optional Student and Instructor Guides. An external power source is required if the circuit board is used without a base unit.
