JDS Uniphase HA017+20ANC4 HA1 High-Resolution Optical Attenuator

JDS Uniphase HA017+20ANC4 HA1 High-Resolution Optical Attenuator

The JDS Uniphase HA017+20ANC4 HA1 High-Resolution Optical Attenuator is a professional HA Series optical attenuator configured for fiber optic, telecom, laboratory, production, and photonics test applications. This specific configuration is based on the HA1 high-resolution model, which is identified for operation across the 1270 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range.

The HA017+20ANC4 configuration uses 9/125 fiber, pigtails on the back, no connectors on all ports, no built-in front panel option, and analog 60 dB return loss. This listing is written specifically for the HA017+20ANC4 configuration and should not be used to describe other HA Series optical attenuator part numbers with different port, fiber, connector, return loss, or built-in option selections.

Features and Benefits of the JDS Uniphase HA017+20ANC4 HA1 High-Resolution Optical Attenuator

The JDS Uniphase HA017+20ANC4 HA1 High-Resolution Optical Attenuator provides practical value for professional users who require a defined optical attenuation configuration for fiber optic measurement and test workflows.

• HA1 high-resolution model: Uses the HA1 model configuration, identified for high-resolution attenuation applications across 1270 nm to 1700 nm.
• 9/125 fiber type: Configured with 9/125 fiber for single-mode fiber optic test and measurement applications.
• Pigtails on back: Uses a rear pigtail port configuration for integration into optical test setups and equipment configurations where back-side pigtail routing is required.
• No connectors on all ports: Uses the NC connector configuration, indicating no connector type is installed on all ports.
• No built-in front panel option: This HA017+20ANC4 configuration does not include a built-in front panel coupler or switch option.
• Analog 60 dB return loss option: Includes the analog 60 dB return loss configuration for suitable optical test applications.
• Professional optical attenuation control: Suitable for fiber optic, telecom, photonics, laboratory, and production environments requiring controlled optical signal attenuation.

Advanced Features and Practical Applications

The JDS Uniphase HA017+20ANC4 is intended for professional optical test environments where controlled signal attenuation is needed across a broad fiber optic wavelength range. Optical attenuators are commonly used to reduce optical signal power during testing, calibration, system verification, receiver sensitivity evaluation, optical link simulation, and component characterization.

The HA1 base model identifies this unit as a high-resolution optical attenuator covering 1270 nm to 1700 nm. This range supports many common fiber optic communications test applications, including work across important telecom and photonics wavelength regions. The 9/125 fiber configuration makes the unit suitable for single-mode optical test setups that require precise attenuation control.

Because this product is configuration-specific, buyers should confirm that the pigtails-on-back construction, no-connector port configuration, analog 60 dB return loss selection, and absence of built-in front panel options match the intended optical setup. This is especially important when replacing an existing HA Series attenuator or matching a specific optical test system configuration.

Typical Applications

The JDS Uniphase HA017+20ANC4 HA1 High-Resolution Optical Attenuator is suitable for professional applications such as:

• Fiber optic attenuation control
• Telecom optical network testing
• Single-mode optical test setups
• Optical receiver sensitivity testing
• Laboratory optical power adjustment
• Photonics component characterization
• Optical link simulation
• Production and engineering test workflows
• Service, repair, and replacement equipment requirements
