This unit
The JDS Uniphase HA9W1+20KFP1 is a programmable optical attenuator for precision control of optical power in test, laboratory, and field calibration environments. It delivers 0 to 100 dB attenuation with 0.01 dB resolution and ±0.1 dB typical accuracy, supporting wavelengths from 1200 to 1700 nm across multimode and single-mode fiber. The instrument handles up to 200 mW optical input power and provides beam block attenuation exceeding 110 dB in under 20 ms, making it suitable for optical power meter verification, component calibration, and fiber optic link loss simulation. Front-panel keyboard control combines with GPIB (IEEE 488.2) and RS232 remote interfaces for flexible integration. The attenuator runs SCPI and HP 8156A-compatible command sets with supplied LabVIEW drivers, ensuring compatibility with established test workflows. FC/PC connectors standard; universal connector adapter options support FC/PC, SC/PC, ST/PC, FC/APC, and SC/APC terminations.

JDS Uniphase HA9-HA9W1+20KFP1 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase HA9-HA9W1+20KFP1. 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-HA9W1+20KFP1 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.
