This unit

The JDS Uniphase HA91C-10KSC7 is a programmable optical attenuator that delivers precise optical power control across the 750–1700 nm wavelength range. Part of the HA9 Series, this instrument provides 0–100 dB attenuation with 0.01 dB resolution and ±0.1 dB accuracy, making it essential for demanding test environments where stability and repeatability matter. The built-in beam block enables rapid transition to infinite attenuation (>90 dB) from any setting, while typical polarization-dependent loss of 0.03 dB and insertion loss under 2.2 dB ensure minimal signal degradation. Maximum input power handling is 200 mW.

JDS Uniphase HA91C-10KSC7 — Repair & Calibration Service

Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase HA91C-10KSC7. 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 HA91C-10KSC7 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.
