The JDS Uniphase MAP+2B00 is a benchtop mainframe for optical testing and measurement applications. It provides a stable platform for housing hot-swappable instrumentation cassettes, enabling users to build customized test solutions for evaluating optical components, modules, and systems. Part of the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) series, the MAP+2B00 delivers flexible, scalable instrumentation in a compact 9.5-inch form factor ideal for lab bench deployments. Dynamic MAP firmware automatically identifies installed cassettes, and the common backplane supports over 15 different module types without requiring system power-down during insertion or removal.
