Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-730-PON-65-204-SWX is a new-unit ordering package of the OneExpert HFC ONX-730 handheld field tester. It combines DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 testing in one instrument and validates throughput up to 10 Gbps, aimed at residential and small business service activation and troubleshooting.

This package includes the ONX-CATV-D31-S-6520-1212 DOCSIS 3.1 module (65/204 MHz upstream, 1.2 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream), a PON selective optical power meter, a visual fault locator and optical loss mode, OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi, 10G SpeedCheck and the ONX 730 SWX software package.

Optical testing

The integrated PON selective power meter measures coexisting wavelengths separately through a dedicated SC/APC optical port, and the PON-ID can be read to confirm connection to the expected OLT. With the TruePON option, the instrument automatically verifies total optical loss, PON-ID, OLT connectivity and received power based on the ODN class. The VFL and supported USB fiber scopes with automatic analysis help locate fiber faults and connector defects.

Test Process Automation

OneCheck workflows run automated pass/fail tests for DOCSIS, Ethernet, WiFi and PON and save results with geo tags. Smart Access Anywhere allows remote coaching via a PC or mobile connection.

Design

The ONX-720/730 keeps the RF and DOCSIS test features of the ONX-620/630, including support for existing RF modules. The IP54-rated, drop-tested modular housing can be upgraded for 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0, and the unit has integrated GPS, StrataSync support, mobile app support and a field-replaceable 96 W/hr battery.
