Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI UPG-ONX-630NTX-730-PON is a mainframe upgrade package for the OneExpert HFC platform. It upgrades an existing ONX-630 NTX installation to the ONX-730 NTX configuration and adds a PON selective optical power meter and a visual fault locator (VFL). The OneExpert HFC mainframe upgrade is compatible with existing ONX DOCSIS/RF modules, preserving the RF and DOCSIS testing features of the ONX-620/630.

The OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps. This package includes OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G VIAVI SpeedCheck, with Test Process Automation (TPA) guiding technicians through one-button pass/fail workflows.

Optical testing

The PON selective power meter measures coexistent wavelengths (1342, 1358, 1490 and 1577 nm) on a dedicated SC/APC port and reads the PON-ID to confirm connection to the expected OLT. With the optional TruePON software, the instrument verifies Total Optical Loss (TOL), PON-ID, OLT connectivity and received power based on the ODN class. The VFL and USB fiber scope support with Auto Analysis assist fiber troubleshooting.

Design

The unit is IP54 rated, drop-tested and modular, with a path to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0. It integrates GPS, StrataSync and mobile app support, and uses a field-replaceable 96 W/hr Li-Ion battery. The upgrade package ships with a protective fitted case and Cat6A jumpers; an AC charger is not included as standard.
