The MAP-200 Utility Module, mUTL-C1, provides a range of passive optical devices such as couplers, splitters, Mux/Demux modules and band-pass filters to simplify the integration of these devices into automated test systems

　　The Multiple Application Platform (MAP-200) Passive Utility Module, mUTL-C1, is designed to simplify the mechanical integration of passive optical components into large automated test systems. A range of passive devices are available including single-mode and multimode optical couplers, Mux/Demux modules for 40G and 100G Ethernet, a quad wavelength filter for shaping ASE spectrum as well as a bulkhead-adapters only module for mechanical mounting of user supplied components. All modules are available with any of six optical connectors types.

　　Highlights

　　Mechanically robust integration of fiber optic couplers, splitters and mux/demux components into larger integrated test environments

　　Compact design with 12 bulkhead connectors enables packaging of up to four 3-port couplers

　　Bulkhead only versions available for mounting user supplied components

　　Single-mode or multimode component options.

　　Multimode components are modally transparent

　　Ideal for individual lane testing on WDM signals on next generation Ethernet optical formats like 100GE

　　Applications

　　Photonic communication test automation

　　In-line tapping of signals for power and spectrum measurements

　　Power reference branches for passive component test

　　Splitting signals for parallel test applications
