Datasheet

Overview

The ONXF-720-BB-65-204-IPX is a new-unit package of the VIAVI OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) handheld tester. It combines an ONX-720 mainframe with the IPX software package, a broadband optical power meter, a visual fault locator (VFL) and the ONX-CATV-D31-S-6520-1212 DOCSIS 3.1 sweep-ready module with 65/204 MHz upstream and 1.2 GHz downstream.

The OneExpert HFC validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 connections at throughput up to 10 Gbps. The package includes OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G VIAVI SpeedCheck as standard. VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) provides one-button OneCheck workflows with pass/fail results and geo-tagged saved results.

Optical testing

The broadband power meter covers 800 to 1650 nm with eight calibrated wavelengths and a UPP 2.5 mm connection. A 650 nm VFL is built in, and USB fiber inspection scopes such as the P5000i and FiberChek Probe are supported, with automatic analysis. Optical loss mode is available as an option.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-720/730 keeps the RF and DOCSIS test capability of the ONX-620/630, including support for existing RF modules. It provides downstream analysis, including OFDM signal metrics and profile analysis, plus upstream ingress spectrum scanning from 0.5 to 204 MHz.

Design

The unit is IP54-rated, drop-tested and modular, with an upgrade path to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0. Integrated GPS, StrataSync and the VIAVI Mobile Tech app are supported. A field-replaceable 96 W/hr battery is rated for multi-day use.
