JDS Uniphase HA097+20ASC1 HA9 9/125 Optical Attenuator with SC/HPC Front Bulkheads
The JDS Uniphase HA097+20ASC1 HA9 Optical Attenuator is a professional HA Series fiber optic attenuator configured for telecom, laboratory, production, and photonics test applications. This product description applies specifically to the HA097+20ASC1 configuration and uses only the configuration details identified by that exact part number.
The HA097+20ASC1 configuration is based on the HA9 optical attenuator model, which is specified for the 1200 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range. This unit is configured with 9/125 fiber, bulkheads on the front, SC/HPC connectors on all ports, no built-in front panel option, and analog 60 dB return loss. These configuration details are important for buyers replacing an existing attenuator or matching a specific optical test setup where model, fiber type, port style, connector type, and return loss must be correct.
Features and Benefits of the JDS Uniphase HA097+20ASC1 HA9 Optical Attenuator
The JDS Uniphase HA097+20ASC1 HA9 Optical Attenuator provides practical value for professional users who require a clearly defined optical attenuation configuration for fiber optic measurement and test workflows.
- HA9 optical attenuator model: Uses the HA9 model configuration, identified for 1200 nm to 1700 nm optical attenuation applications.
- 9/125 fiber type: Configured for 9/125 single-mode fiber optic test and measurement environments.
- Bulkheads on front: Uses the front bulkhead port configuration for convenient direct front-panel fiber connections.
- SC/HPC connectors on all ports: Uses the SC connector configuration, identified as SC/HPC for all ports.
- No built-in front panel option: This HA097+20ASC1 configuration does not include a front-panel coupler or switch option.
- Analog 60 dB return loss: Uses the analog 60 dB return loss configuration for compatible optical test applications.
- Professional optical attenuation control: Suitable for controlling optical signal levels in telecom, photonics, laboratory, and production test environments.
Advanced Features and Practical Applications
The JDS Uniphase HA097+20ASC1 is intended for optical test environments where controlled attenuation is required across the HA9 wavelength range. Optical attenuators are commonly used to reduce optical signal power to defined test levels during receiver sensitivity testing, optical link simulation, calibration procedures, system verification, and optical component characterization.
The HA9 model supports the 1200 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range, making this configuration suitable for a broad range of fiber optic communications and photonics test applications. The 9/125 fiber configuration supports single-mode optical workflows, while the SC/HPC connector configuration provides a defined connector interface for compatible patch cables, optical sources, optical meters, receivers, and test equipment.
The bulkheads-on-front configuration is practical for bench-top, rack-based, and laboratory optical test systems where direct access to the optical ports is useful. This front-panel layout can help simplify patching, troubleshooting, receiver testing, component characterization, and general optical power adjustment during everyday test workflows.
Because HA Series optical attenuators can be configured in many different ways, this listing should be used only for HA097+20ASC1. Other HA Series model numbers may use different base models, fiber types, port locations, connector types, return loss options, or built-in front panel options. Matching the exact configuration is important for maintaining compatibility with existing test procedures and optical setups.
