This unit
The JDS Uniphase JDSU HA9 HA097+20ASU1 is a high-resolution programmable optical attenuator delivering precise signal control across the extended C-band and L-band wavelength ranges. This instrument provides 0 to 100 dB attenuation with 0.01 dB resolution and repeatability, enabling deterministic optical power management in laboratory and production test environments. The attenuator's inherently linear response, combined with built-in calibration and offset functions, allows direct display matching to external optical power meters across a broad dynamic range.

JDS Uniphase/JDSU HA9/HA097+20ASU1 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase/JDSU HA9/HA097+20ASU1. 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 HA9/HA097+20ASU1 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.
