Overview
The VIAVI ONXF-730-85-204-NTX is a new-unit ordering package of the OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) handheld tester. It combines the ONX-730 mainframe with the NTX software package and the ONX-CATV-D31-S-8520-1212 DOCSIS 3.1 sweep-ready module (85/204 MHz upstream, 1.2 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream). This is a No Optics package: it has no optical power meter or visual fault locator.
The OneExpert HFC validates DOCSIS, Ethernet and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps. Test Process Automation (TPA) provides one-button OneCheck workflows with automated pass/fail results, so technicians follow consistent steps during service turn-up and troubleshooting.
DOCSIS and RF
The ONX-720/730 continues the RF and DOCSIS test capabilities of the ONX-620/630 and supports existing ONX DOCSIS/RF modules. On the ONX-730 NTX configuration, 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 and drop-tested, with a modular design. It has integrated GPS, StrataSync connectivity, mobile app support through Bluetooth and a field-replaceable 96 Wh battery. The manufacturer states the design can be upgraded for 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0.
