The Optical Wavelength Labs LH-1310 Laser HOOTS is a High Output Optical Talk Set configured to 1310nm. The transmitter in the Laser HOOTS also serves as a calibrated -10.0 dBm singlemode light source. It uses laser technology to convert your voice into optical signals for full-duplex voice communications over a pair of singlemode fibers. The Laser HOOTS is a reliable alternative to wireless communications systems, and is very simple to use. Communications over optical fibers with the Laser HOOTS offers both security and electromagnetic immunity.

The Laser HOOTS has been designed as an economical alternative to walkie-talkies. Optionally, it can be embedded as a permanent part of a fiber network installation. Use it during the installation for end-to-end voice communications. After installation, leave it attached to a pair of unused fibers in the patch panel. This way, the Laser HOOTS can be used by communications personnel any time operations or management functions need to be performed in the fiber cable closet.

Each Laser HOOTS comes standard with two talk set units (one for both ends of the fiber) in a hard-shell carrying case, and each unit comes with a headset, headset adapter, protective rubber boot, lanyard, 9-volt battery, and a CD-ROM based operations guide.
