JDSU / Viavi MAP-280 / MAP-200 Series Benchtop Mainframe Controller

The JDSU/Viavi MAP-280/MAP-200 Series Benchtop Mainframe Controller is a modular platform for optical test and measurement in laboratory and manufacturing environments. It manages interchangeable test modules to deliver optical, transport, and data communication testing across network infrastructure and optical transmission element development. The MAP-280 houses 8 slots; the MAP-230B provides 3 slots.

Both stand 3 RU high and support cost-effective, scalable deployment with field-replaceable power supplies and flexible remote control interfaces.
