Overview
The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-720-PON-42-204-IPX is a new-unit ordering package of the OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) platform. It combines an ONX-720 mainframe with the ONX-720 IPX software package, a PON selective optical power meter, a visual fault locator and the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4220-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module (42/204 MHz upstream, 1.0/1.2 GHz downstream).
The OneExpert HFC validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps in under a minute. OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G SpeedCheck are included as standard, and VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) provides one-button guided test workflows with pass/fail results intended to improve process compliance and reduce repeat visits.
Optical testing
The PON selective power meter measures coexistent wavelengths separately through a dedicated SC/APC optical port. With the optional TruePON software, the unit reads the PON-ID to confirm connection to the expected OLT and verifies Total Optical Loss (TOL), OLT connectivity and received power based on the ODN class. A 1 mW VFL is built in, and USB fiber inspection scopes are supported with automatic pass/fail analysis.
DOCSIS and RF
The ONX-720/730 extends the ONX-620/630 platform and preserves its RF and DOCSIS testing features, including support for existing RF modules. The included D3.1 module provides downstream and upstream analysis, OFDM measurements and ingress scanning.
Design
The unit is IP54 rated, drop-tested and modular, with a path to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0 upgrades. It includes GPS, StrataSync support, Bluetooth connectivity to the VIAVI Mobile Tech app and a field-replaceable 96 W/hr battery.
