The JDSU MAP TB3 / KITMAPF Tunable Filter Module is a grating-based tunable filter designed for DWDM spectral shaping and switching in optical network testing and characterization. This hot-swappable module integrates into the JDSU Multiple Application Platform (MAP) series, delivering precision wavelength selection with minimal insertion loss and high rejection performance across the C-band and extended wavelength regions.
Technical Specifications

• Weight: 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg)
– Compatibility & Integration
The module operates within JDSU MAP Master (8-slot) and MAP Benchtop (3-slot) mainframes featuring hot-swappable backplanes. When installed in a MAP chassis, the system meets CE, CSA/UL/IEC61010-1, and LXI Class C compliance requirements. Firmware and console dynamically identify and configure the module upon installation, eliminating manual setup.
