FTS 1 & FTS 2

Noyes Fiber Optic Talk Sets are an inexpensive solution to meet your multimode or singlemode fiber optic communication needs. Designed for voice communication over spare fibers, they provide full duplex, hands free operation. Ease of use and compact size allow the operators to focus on the task at hand, rather than operating the talk set.

Two talk set models are available, the FTS 1 for communication on singlemode or multimode fiber and the FTS 2 for singlemode applications. The FTS 2 model includes a multiparty communication feature, which provides the connection of two talk sets at a common site to extend the range or to include three or more persons in the conversation.

A clip-on coupler, model FTS-20C, is available for bare fiber access where terminated ends are not available. The FTS-20C allows bi-directional communication from a center point on the fiber link or from an unterminated end.

FTS20C

The Noyes Fiber Systems FTS-20C Clip-on Coupler provides non-damaging bi-directional fiber access. The FTS-20C clips on to bare fiber (250 micron) and creates a small bend. Light can then be detected or injected into the fiber.

Use of an FTS-20C is an alternative to terminating fiber with a connector.

When used with a fiber talk set, such as the Noyes FTS 2-1550, the user can then access the intended talk fiber at a mid-point across the span, usually at a splice enclosure. The FTS-20C can also be used in conjunction with a Laser Source and Tone Detector to inject or detect 2 kHz test tones.

The FTS-20C works at 1310, 1550, or 1625 nm. Coupling efficiency is approximately 18 dB.
