This unit
The JDS Uniphase MAPA+2370100FP IA3 is a single-mode optical attenuator module engineered for the MAP Series test platform. This IA3-configuration unit delivers precise, adjustable attenuation of optical signals across the 1200 to 1700 nm band, enabling controlled power reduction for component characterization, performance verification, and network simulation. The module integrates directly into MAP chassis architectures via bulkhead FC/APC connectors.

JDS Uniphase MAPA+2370100FP IA3 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase MAPA+2370100FP IA3. 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 MAPA+2370100FP IA3 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.
