Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI ONXF-720-BB-42-85-TSX is a new-unit ordering package of the OneExpert HFC ONX-720 handheld tester. It pairs the ONX-720 mainframe with the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4285-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module (42/85 MHz upstream, 1.0/1.2 GHz downstream), a broadband optical power meter and a visual fault locator, along with the ONX 720 TSX software package.

The OneExpert HFC platform validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps. VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) provides one-button OneCheck workflows that apply pass/fail criteria to Ethernet, WiFi and DOCSIS testing and save geo-tagged results.

Optical and fiber tools

The integrated broadband power meter covers 800 to 1650 nm with eight calibrated wavelengths. The 650 nm visual fault locator and support for USB fiber inspection scopes with automatic analysis help locate fiber faults and connector defects.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-720/730 carries forward the RF and DOCSIS test functions of the ONX-620/630, including support for existing RF modules. Measurements include downstream QAM and OFDM channel analysis, upstream ingress scanning and MER/BER analysis.

Design

The unit is IP54 rated, drop tested to 1 m onto concrete, and uses a field-replaceable 96 W/hr Li-Ion battery. It connects via Bluetooth to the VIAVI Mobile Tech app, has integrated GPS, and supports StrataSync.
