The JDS Uniphase TS-30 is a modular test chassis engineered for optical communication system testing and measurement across R&D and manufacturing environments. This slot-based platform accepts up to three configurable modules, enabling flexible system architectures that scale from single-function benchtop setups to multi-channel rack-mounted deployments. Hot-swappable module design permits continuous operation and field upgrades without system shutdown.
