Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-720-PON-42-85-IPX is a new-unit ordering package of the ONX-720 mainframe. It is built for residential and small business service activation over DOCSIS or PON, and it can validate DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps.

This package combines a PON selective optical power meter and a 1 mW visual fault locator with OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G SpeedCheck. It also ships with the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4285-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module, which has 42/85 MHz upstream and 1.0 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream splits, along with the ONX-720 IPX software package.

Integrated optical tools

The selective power meter measures each PON wavelength separately on a dedicated SC/APC port. It can read the PON-ID to confirm the connection to the expected OLT. TruePON, an optional feature, checks total optical loss, PON-ID, OLT connectivity and received power against the ODN class. The unit also works with USB fiber inspection scopes, which provide automatic pass/fail analysis.

Test Process Automation

OneCheck workflows run one-button pass/fail tests for DOCSIS, Ethernet, WiFi and PON and save the results with geotags. The ONX-720/730 keeps the RF and DOCSIS test features of the ONX-620/630 and supports existing RF modules.

Rugged, modular design

The instrument is rated IP54, is drop-tested and has a modular design that can be upgraded for 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0. It includes GPS, StrataSync connectivity, mobile app support and a field-replaceable high-capacity battery.
