Overview
The ONXF-720-85-204-IPX is a new-unit ordering package of the VIAVI OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) platform. It combines an ONX-720 mainframe with the ONX-CATV-D31-S-8520-1212 DOCSIS 3.1 sweep-ready module (85/204 MHz upstream, 1.2 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream) and the ONX-720 IPX software package. It is a No Optics package, so it does not include an optical power meter or visual fault locator.
The OneExpert HFC validates DOCSIS, Ethernet and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps in under a minute. OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G VIAVI SpeedCheck are included as standard. VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) provides one-button guided test workflows with pass/fail results, which are intended to improve process compliance and reduce repeat visits.
DOCSIS and RF
The ONX-720/730 extends the ONX-620/630 by keeping their RF and DOCSIS testing features, including support for existing RF modules. The DOCSIS/RF functions cover downstream analog and digital channel analysis, OFDM signal performance metrics, upstream ingress spectrum scan, and forward and reverse sweep compatible with the SCU-1800.
Design
The unit is IP54 rated, weatherproof and drop-tested. Its modular design supports future 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0 upgrades. It includes GPS, StrataSync connectivity, VIAVI Mobile Tech app support over Bluetooth, and a field-replaceable 96 W/hr battery for multi-day use.
