Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI Multiple Application Platform (MAP) Passive Utility Module, mUTL-C1, makes it easier to build passive optical components into large automated test systems. Components that would otherwise sit loose, and are often damaged during operation or transport, are mounted in a cassette that fits a MAP chassis.

The passive devices on offer include single-mode and multimode optical couplers and splitters, Mux/Demux modules for 40G and 100G Ethernet, LAN-WDM multiplexers for 400GBASE LR8/FR8 (IEEE 802.3bs), and a quad wavelength filter that shapes or reduces ASE in the 1310 / 1490 / 1550 / 1625 nm test windows. A bulkhead-adapters-only module is also available for mounting components supplied by the user. It ships with mounting hardware and twelve bulkhead adapters, enough for up to four 3-port devices. All modules can be ordered with any of six optical connector types.

Each module has user-definable data fields. The MAP series chassis can read these fields to help identify the module, and can display or recall them remotely.

MAP platform

The mUTL belongs to the LightDirect module family of the VIAVI MAP platform. This modular optical test platform comes in rack-mount or benchtop form, with chassis that hold 2, 3 or 8 application modules. It is LXI compliant and has SCPI-based automation drivers. The mUTL works with all current MAP-300 and MAP-200 chassis and can also be used without a MAP platform.
