Overview
The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-730-BB-65-204-SWX is a new-unit package of the OneExpert HFC ONX-730 handheld tester. It combines DOCSIS 3.1 and RF testing through the ONX-CATV-D31-S-6520-1212 module (65/204 MHz upstream, 1.2 GHz downstream) with a broadband optical power meter, a visual fault locator and optical loss mode, and is supplied with the ONX 730 SWX software package.
The OneExpert HFC platform validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps. OneCheck Ethernet and OneCheck WiFi are included, together with VIAVI SpeedCheck at 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps. Ookla Speedtest, VIAVI TrueSpeed and iPerf are available as licensed options.
Test Process Automation
VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) provides one-button OneCheck workflows that automate pass/fail testing for DOCSIS, Ethernet, WiFi and PON. Results are geo-tagged and can be managed through StrataSync and the VIAVI Mobile Tech app.
Optical Tools
The integrated broadband power meter covers 800 to 1650 nm and has a UPP 2.5 mm connection. The 650 nm visual fault locator and support for USB fiber scopes with automatic analysis help with fiber troubleshooting.
DOCSIS and RF
The ONX-720/730 continues the RF and DOCSIS test capability of the ONX-620/630 and supports existing RF modules. The ONX-730 SWX configuration includes the Return Signal Generator with Loopback and Ingress Expert. Reverse Sweepless Sweep, QAM video MPEG verification and Field View with RSG are available as options.
Design
The unit has a rugged, modular, IP54-rated design, is drop-tested and has a field-replaceable 96 W/hr Li-Ion battery. The modular design provides an upgrade path to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0.
