This unit

The JDS Uniphase HA1503-FPS2 is a programmable single-mode optical attenuator delivering ultra-high resolution attenuation control across the extended C- and L-band wavelength ranges. This benchtop instrument provides attenuation up to 100 dB with 0.001 dB resolution and ±0.1 dB accuracy, making it ideal for precision optical power characterization, signal simulation, and component testing. Front-panel FC/APC bulkhead connectors support direct integration into test setups, while GPIB and RS232 interfaces enable automated remote control via SCPI/HP8156A-compatible commands.

JDS Uniphase/JDSU HA1503-FPS2/HA1 — Repair & Calibration Service

Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase/JDSU HA1503-FPS2/HA1. 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/JDSU HA1503-FPS2/HA1 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.
