Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-730-BB-42-85-SWX is a new-unit ordering package of the OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) handheld tester. It combines an ONX-730 mainframe with the SWX software package, a broadband optical power meter, a visual fault locator, optical loss mode and the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4285-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module for 42/85 MHz upstream and 1.0 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream networks.

The OneExpert HFC platform validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps. OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and VIAVI SpeedCheck at 5 and 10 Gbps are standard, and Test Process Automation (TPA) provides guided, one-button pass/fail workflows with geo-tagged saved results.

Optical testing

The broadband power meter covers 800 to 1650 nm with eight calibrated wavelengths and a universal 2.5 mm connection. In this package it is complemented by an optical loss mode for setting and clearing a reference and calculating loss, a 650 nm visual fault locator, and support for USB fiber inspection scopes with automatic pass/fail analysis.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-720/730 retains the RF and DOCSIS test capabilities of the ONX-620/630 and supports existing RF modules. On the ONX-730 SWX configuration, the Return Signal Generator with loopback and Ingress Expert are included, and reverse sweepless sweep, QAM video MPEG verification and Field View with RSG are available as options.

Construction

The unit is IP54 rated, drop-tested to 1 m onto concrete, and runs from a field-replaceable 96 W/hr Li-Ion battery. Its modular design is intended to support upgrades to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0. GPS, StrataSync and the VIAVI Mobile Tech app are also supported.
