The JDS Uniphase MAP200-MVOA-A2DSM is a dual variable optical attenuator module for the MAP-200 platform, delivering precise optical power control across the telecom spectrum. This hot-swappable cassette combines stepper motor and filter-based attenuation with an integrated power monitor, enabling accurate signal management in automated test systems and optical networks. Ultra-low insertion loss (typically <1.0 dB), flat spectral response, and transition speeds up to 25 dB/s minimize measurement uncertainty and reduce test cycles.
