This unit
The JDS Uniphase HA9 is an extended-range programmable optical attenuator delivering 100 dB of attenuation with 0.01 dB resolution and ±0.1 dB accuracy across the 1200–1700 nm band. Built for precision optical signal control in test, measurement, and laboratory environments, It has 0.01 dB repeatability, low insertion loss, and exceptional backreflection performance. The unit accepts SCPI/HP8156A commands via GPIB, RS232, and front-panel keyboard control, with optional integrated couplers and optical switches for expanded configuration flexibility.

JDS Uniphase HA9 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase HA9. 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 HA9 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.
