VIAVI MAP-POW Power Meter for Multiple Application Platform

JDSU offers two types of Multiple Application Platform (MAP) Power Meter Cassettes. The first is a power meter with a 3 mm InGaAs detector and the second is a power meter with 10 mm Ge detector.

3 mm InGaAs MAP Power Meter
The Power Meter is optimized for applications using single-mode (SM) or multimode (MM) fiber to measure power levels from - 80 to 10 dBm over the wavelength range of 800 to 1650 nm. It features a high accuracy, high linearity and extremely low polarisation dependant loss (PDL). The MAP Power Meter Cassette with 3 mm InGaAs detector is available in single or dual configuration and comes with an analog electrical output for external monitoring. The averaging time can be set as low as 100 µs for high-speed applications.

For ultimate flexibility, the detector heads were designed with the JDSU AC100 interchangeable detector adapters. Detector adapters are available for six connector types as well as a fiber holder that permits bare fiber measurements (please refer to the Optional Accessories section). The cassette is supplied with an FC detector adapter as a standard accessory. An optional integrating sphere may be fastened to the front panel allowing for increased power measurement capability to 33 dBm (2 W) with decreased PDL to 0.005 dB.

10 mm Ge MAP Power Meter
This versatile power meter can be used in applications using standard SM or MM fiber as well as SM or MM ribbon cable with fiber counts as high as 72 (see Specifications for further details). The power meter can accurately measure power levels from -50 to 3 dBm over the wavelength range of 800 to 1650 nm.

The detector heads are compatible with the JDSU AC400 series interchangeable detector adapters (please refer to the Optional Accessories section). The cassette is supplied with an FC detector adapter as a standard accessory.
