This unit
The JDS Uniphase HA97E+10KSU1 is a programmable optical attenuator for precise control of optical power across telecommunications and laboratory environments. It delivers attenuation up to 100 dB with 0.01 dB resolution and ±0.03 dB typical accuracy, making it suitable for power meter calibration, BER testing, and EDFA characterization. The unit accepts front-panel keypad control, GPIB, and RS232 commands via SCPI/HP8156A-compatible protocol. SC/APC connectors provide optical interfacing, with optional internal couplers (10/90, 50/50, 2/98, 30/70) and 1:2 switch capability for multi-port applications.

JDS Uniphase HA97E+10KSU1 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase HA97E+10KSU1. 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 HA97E+10KSU1 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.
