Overview
The VIAVI ONXF-720-PON-65-204-TSX is a new-unit package of the OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) handheld platform. It combines an ONX-720 mainframe with the ONX 720 TSX software package, a PON selective optical power meter, a visual fault locator and the ONX-CATV-D31-S-6520-1212 DOCSIS 3.1 module (65/204 MHz upstream, 1.2 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream).
The OneExpert HFC validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps. Test Process Automation (TPA) provides one-button OneCheck workflows with pass/fail results for Ethernet, WiFi, PON and DOCSIS, intended to improve process compliance and reduce repeat visits.
Optical testing
The integrated PON selective power meter measures coexistent wavelengths through a dedicated SC/APC optical port and can read the PON-ID to confirm connection to the expected OLT. With the TruePON option, the instrument verifies Total Optical Loss (TOL), PON-ID, OLT connectivity and received power based on the ODN class. A 650 nm visual fault locator and support for USB fiber inspection scopes with automatic analysis complete the fiber tool set.
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 unit is IP54 rated, drop-tested and modular, with integrated GPS, StrataSync and mobile app support, a field-replaceable high-capacity battery, and an upgrade path for 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0.
