Fiber Optic Talk Sets

Fiber optic talk sets provide reliable end-to-end voice communication over fiber optic networks, making them an essential tool for network installers, maintenance teams, and IT professionals. Unlike traditional walkie-talkies, these talk sets utilize fiber optic links to ensure clear, interference-free communication over long distances. The HOOTS (Hands-On Optical Talk Set) series is designed as an economical alternative to two-way radios and can also be embedded as a permanent communication solution within a fiber network.

Built for Your Application

These fiber optic talk sets are perfect for use during fiber optic cable installation, allowing teams to communicate efficiently without relying on radio signals, which can be unreliable in certain environments. Additionally, once the installation is complete, the HOOTS talk sets can be left connected to a pair of dark fibers in a patch panel, enabling IT personnel to communicate between network closets when performing maintenance or upgrades. This long-term usability makes them a cost-effective solution for ongoing network management.
