This unit
The JDS Uniphase HA9W1+20KSC1 is a programmable optical attenuator for precision control of optical power in telecommunications and laboratory testing. It delivers up to 100 dB attenuation with 0.01 dB resolution across a 1200–1700 nm wavelength range, making it suitable for power level adjustments in DWDM characterization, bit error rate testing, and general optical test work.

JDS Uniphase HA9W1+20KSC1 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase HA9W1+20KSC1. 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 HA9W1+20KSC1 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.

This JDS Uniphase HA9W1+20KSC1 is listed at $2,300. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
JDS Uniphase HA9W1+20KSC1 calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the JDS Uniphase HA9W1+20KSC1 is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument 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. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
