Viavi Solutions’ mUTL-C1 MAP series of Multiple Application Platform (MAP) passive utility modules is designed to simplify the mechanical integration of passive optical components into large automated test systems. A range of passive devices are available including single mode and multi mode optical couplers, Mux/Demux modules for 40G and 100G Ethernet, a quad wavelength filter for shaping ASE spectrum as well as a bulkhead-adapters only module for mechanical mounting of user supplied components. All modules are available with any of six optical connectors types.

Single mode and multi mode optical couplers enable power reference paths or tap signals for in-line test. 40G and 100G Ethernet standards have adopted WDM technology for single fiber interfaces. The mUTL-C1 MAP series provides Mux/Demux modules complying with the IEEE standards and are the ideal solution to isolate individual lanes for test access. LAN-WDM multiplexers are ideal to multiplex and de-multiplex eight LAN-WDM channels as according to 400GBASE LR8/ FR8 supporting IEEE 802.3bs standard. A quad wavelength filter helps shaping ASE spectrum or reducing ASE in the standard 1310 / 1490 / 1550 / 1625 nm test windows.

A bulkhead-adapters only module is also available for mechanical mounting of user supplied components. These cassettes are supplied with mounting hardware and twelve bulkhead adapters for ease of integration of up to four 3-port devices. Each module has user definable data fields that can be accessed by the MAP series chassis to assist in module identification and displayed or recalled remotely. The MAP series is the first photonic layer lab and manufacturing platform that is LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) compliant by conforming to the required physical attributes, Ethernet connectivity, and interchangeable virtual instrument (IVI) drivers. The MAP series platform is optimized for density and maximum configurability.
