This unit

The JDS Uniphase TB9226-1FA1 is a tunable grating filter engineered for precision optical testing in telecommunications and fiber-based component characterization. This device delivers wavelength-selective filtering across the C-band and extended ranges, enabling suppression of spontaneous emission, ASE filtering in EDFAs, and measurement of wavelength-dependent component behavior. Grating-based filtering provides superior wavelength isolation roll-off compared to Fabry-Perot or interference filter alternatives, making it suitable for both laboratory and production test environments.

JDS Uniphase TB9226-1FA1 — Repair & Calibration Service

Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase TB9226-1FA1. 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 TB9226-1FA1 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.
