The JDS Uniphase MAPS+1W73221FP is a hot-swappable instrumentation cassette designed for the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) system, a modular optical test and measurement architecture. This module integrates into either the MAP+2M00 (19-inch, 8-slot rackmount) or MAP+2B00 (9.5-inch, 3-slot benchtop) chassis, leveraging a common backplane that supports over 15 different cassette configurations. The platform delivers dynamic firmware with automatic cassette identification, enabling rapid reconfiguration for evolving test scenarios in optical network applications.
