The JDS Uniphase HA1503-FPS2 is a programmable single-mode optical attenuator delivering ultra-high resolution attenuation control across the extended C- and L-band wavelength ranges. This benchtop instrument provides attenuation up to 100 dB with 0.001 dB resolution and ±0.1 dB accuracy, making it ideal for precision optical power characterization, signal simulation, and component testing. Front-panel FC/APC bulkhead connectors support direct integration into test setups, while GPIB and RS232 interfaces enable automated remote control via SCPI/HP8156A-compatible commands.
