The JDS Uniphase MVOA-A1SS0 is a hot-pluggable Micro Variable Optical Attenuator module for the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) system. It delivers precise optical power control across the C- and L-bands with attenuation settings from 0 dB to 70 dB at 0.001 dB resolution. The module supports up to 16 independently controlled attenuators per MAP chassis, enabling high-density optical test configurations in laboratory and production environments.
