Viavi MAP-204CX-A/mlSW-C Optical Switch

The VIAVI (JDSU) MAP-204-1x136SC Optical Switch is a high-performance, fourth-generation instrumentation-class fiber optic switching solution designed for precise signal routing and automated test path management in optical component manufacturing and laboratory environments. It supports a 1×136 single-input to 136-output configuration with SC connector terminations, ultra-low 0.04 dB polarization-dependent loss, ±0.005 dB repeatability, expanded-beam optical design for minimal wavelength-dependent loss, and a flexible SCPI remote interface compatible with both MAP-200-style commands and legacy SB/SC series control, with optional PTRIM in-line power monitoring up to 20 dB, enabling reliable insertion loss, return loss, and parallel multi-port device characterization with minimized measurement uncertainty. With a 4U MAP-204C chassis form factor housing high-channel-count switch configurations and offering remote VNC, Ethernet, and GPIB connectivity, it delivers efficient, scalable, and dependable performance for advanced manufacturing test automation, passive component, and transponder verification applications.
