Overview

The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-730-42-85-SWX is a new-unit package of the OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) platform. It is an ONX-730 "No Optics" package that combines the ONX 730 SWX software package with the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4285-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module (42/85 MHz upstream, 1.0 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream). OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G SpeedCheck are included.

The OneExpert HFC validates DOCSIS, Ethernet and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps. VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) provides one-button OneCheck workflows that automate pass/fail testing and save geo-tagged results, so service activation follows a consistent process.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-720/730 continues the ONX-620/630 line and keeps its RF and DOCSIS testing features, including support for existing RF modules. On this ONX-730 package, Return Signal Generator with Loopback and Ingress Expert are standard. Reverse Sweepless Sweep, QAM Video MPEG Verification and PathTrak Field View with RSG are available as options.

Platform

The unit is IP54 rated, weatherproof, drop-tested and modular. It can be upgraded for 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0, and it has integrated GPS, StrataSync and mobile app support. A field-replaceable 96 W/hr battery supports multi-day use. Optical Ethernet testing over SFP+ and OneCheck PON with GPON/XGS-PON emulation can be added as options.
