This unit

The JDS Uniphase HA097+28ASC1 is a programmable optical attenuator for precise signal level control across telecommunications and data communication test environments. This benchtop instrument delivers attenuation across a 100 dB range with 0.01 dB resolution, supporting single-mode 9/125 µm fiber from 1200 nm to 1700 nm. It combines front panel keypad control with GPIB and RS232 interfaces, accepting SCPI/HP8156A command sets for integration into automated test systems.

JDS Uniphase HA097+28ASC1 — Repair & Calibration Service

Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase HA097+28ASC1. Calibration covers attenuation accuracy at 5 or more set values across the full range (0 to rated maximum dB), attenuation linearity, wavelength-dependent attenuation at 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and 1550 nm, insertion loss at minimum attenuation (0 dB position), and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) where applicable. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.

Common JDS Uniphase HA097+28ASC1 faults: motor and gear mechanism wear (attenuation steps or loss of smooth control), optical port contamination, EEPROM calibration data corruption. Most common faults are motor or gear mechanism wear on variable attenuators causing attenuation steps or loss of smooth control, optical port contamination reducing dynamic range, and EEPROM calibration data corruption on digitally controlled models.
