This unit
The JDS Uniphase HA9-Z040 is an extended range programmable optical attenuator delivering precise attenuation control across the C and L bands. It has 0 to 100 dB attenuation with 0.01 dB resolution and repeatability, supporting wavelengths from 1200 nm to 1700 nm. The unit achieves ±0.1 dB accuracy and maintains wavelength dependence below ±0.05 dB across the 1530–1625 nm range, making it ideal for power meter testing, linearity calibration, fiber link loss simulation, and bit error rate measurements.

JDS Uniphase HA9-Z040 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase HA9-Z040. 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-Z040 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.
