This unit
The JDS Uniphase JDSU HA9 HA97E+10KSU1 is a programmable optical attenuator delivering precise, remote-controlled attenuation across a 100 dB range with 0.01 dB resolution. Built for laboratory testing, calibration, and R&D environments in optical communications, this singlemode device combines high accuracy (±0.1 dB) with exceptional repeatability (±0.005 dB typical) and fast switching times. SCPI/HP8156A command compatibility and dual remote interfaces enable seamless integration into automated test systems.

JDS Uniphase/JDSU HA97E+10KSU1/HA9 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase/JDSU HA97E+10KSU1/HA9. 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 HA97E+10KSU1/HA9 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.
