The JDS Uniphase MVOA-A2SS0 is a miniature variable optical attenuator for precise optical power control in fiber optic systems. Deployed as a hot-pluggable cassette within the JDS Uniphase Multiple Application Platform (MAP) chassis, it delivers high-density test and measurement capability in laboratory and production environments. The stepper motor and filter-based design minimizes optical impairments while providing configurable fiber and connector options for system integration across diverse architectures.
