The JDS Uniphase MAPS+1W73221FA is a hot-swappable instrumentation cassette for the MAP (Multiple Application Platform) modular test system. It integrates into either the 19-inch 8-slot Master or 9.5-inch 3-slot Benchtop chassis, enabling dynamic optical test and measurement configurations across research, design, and manufacturing applications. The cassette installs on a common backplane with automatic firmware-based identification, eliminating manual setup. The MAP platform hosts over 15 cassette types—including EDFA amplifiers, tunable filters, broadband sources, ASE sources, and attenuators—allowing rapid system reconfiguration without hardware redesign.

## Compatible Cassette Modules
The MAPS+1W73221FA platform accommodates:
• EDFA cassettes (saturated output 14–21 dBm, noise figure as low as 3.3 dB, gain flatness < 1.4 dB)
• Tunable bandpass filters (1420–1630 nm continuous tuning, 300 mW or 1000 mW input options)
• ASE sources (flattened high power density, C-band or C+L-band)
• Broadband sources: BBS1550 (1527–1568 nm C-band), BBS1590 (1565–1610 nm L-band), BBS1560 (C+L-band)
• Attenuators (single-mode and multimode, multiple connector types, tap or power control options)
## Integration
The MAP platform includes dedicated power supply modules and supports both benchtop and rack-mount configurations. Automatic firmware identification eliminates recalibration during cassette swaps.
