Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-730-PON-42-204-SWX is a new-unit package of the ONX-730 handheld tester. It validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 service throughput up to 10 Gbps and uses Test Process Automation (TPA) with one-button OneCheck workflows to standardise residential and small-business service activation.

This package combines a PON selective optical power meter, a visual fault locator and optical loss mode with OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G SpeedCheck. It ships with the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4220-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module (42/204 MHz upstream, 1.0/1.2 GHz downstream) and the ONX 730 SWX software package.

Optical tools

The selective power meter measures coexistent PON wavelengths on a dedicated SC/APC port and reads the PON-ID to confirm the connection to the expected OLT. With the TruePON option, the unit verifies total optical loss, PON-ID, OLT connectivity and received power against the ODN class. It also supports a USB fiber scope with automatic pass/fail analysis.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-720/730 keeps the RF and DOCSIS test functions of the ONX-620/630 and supports existing RF modules. The IP54-rated, drop-tested modular design can be upgraded for 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0. It includes GPS, StrataSync and mobile app support.
