This unit
The JDS Uniphase VA5505-NCL is a optical component engineered for telecommunications and fiber optic signal management. Manufactured by JDS Uniphase - now operating as Viavi Solutions - this device delivers precise optical signal control within modern telecommunications networks. The unit can maintain signal integrity across critical infrastructure requiring reliable optical component performance.
Technical Specifications The VA5505-NCL integrates optical technologies consistent with JDS Uniphase's portfolio of broadband sources, laser systems, and test equipment. Operational parameters typical of comparable optical components in this product family include wavelength coverage across C-band (1525–1565 nm), L-band (1565–1610 nm), and extended C+L configurations. Optical power output levels span from milliwatt-range laser outputs to higher broadband source levels, with specifications aligned to applicable laser safety classifications. Key performance metrics include insertion loss characteristics critical for passive optical implementations, return loss and port isolation specifications (minimum 45 dB typical for comparable broadband sources), and spectral flatness for consistent optical output. Connector interfaces support standard fiber optic formats including FC/PC, FC/APC, SC/PC, and SC/APC configurations.

JDS Uniphase VA5505-NCL — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase VA5505-NCL. 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 VA5505-NCL 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.
