Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI ONXF-720-42-85-TSX is a new-unit package of the OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) handheld tester. It is a no-optics configuration that combines the ONX-720 mainframe with the TSX software package and the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4285-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module for 42/85 MHz upstream and 1.0 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream plants.

The OneExpert HFC validates DOCSIS, Ethernet and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps. OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and VIAVI SpeedCheck at 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps are included as standard, and Test Process Automation (TPA) provides guided, one-button workflows with pass/fail results intended to improve process compliance and reduce repeat visits.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-720/730 continues the RF and DOCSIS testing capabilities of the ONX-620/630, including support for existing RF modules. The DOCSIS/RF section covers downstream analog and digital channel analysis, OFDM signal performance metrics and profile analysis, upstream ingress spectrum scanning, and forward and reverse sweep with compatible VIAVI equipment.

Platform

The instrument is IP54 rated, drop-tested and modular, with a path to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0 upgrades. It includes integrated GPS, StrataSync and mobile app support, and a field-replaceable 96 W/hr Li-Ion battery rated for multi-day use by installation technicians. PON testing, optical Ethernet over SFP+, Ookla Speedtest, TrueSpeed, iPerf and Smart Access Anywhere remote connectivity are available as options.
