Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI ONXF-720-85-204-TSX is a OneExpert HFC ONX-720 new-unit package in the No Optics configuration. It combines the ONX-720 mainframe with the ONX-CATV-D31-S-8520-1212 DOCSIS 3.1 sweep-ready module (85/204 MHz upstream, 1.2/1.2 GHz downstream) and the ONX 720 TSX software package.

The OneExpert HFC platform validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps. Test Process Automation (TPA) provides one-button OneCheck workflows with automated pass/fail results for Ethernet, WiFi and DOCSIS, with geo-tagged saved results.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-720/730 continues the RF and DOCSIS test capabilities of the ONX-620/630, including support for existing RF modules. The RF module covers downstream analysis on port 1 and upstream ingress analysis and TDR on port 2, with QAM and OFDM channel analysis, forward and reverse sweep with the SCU-1800, and a MoCA triplexer on all models.

Design and connectivity

The instrument is IP54 rated, drop-tested and modular, with a path to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0 upgrades. It integrates GPS, StrataSync and Bluetooth connectivity for the VIAVI Mobile Tech app, and a field-replaceable 96 W/hr battery for multi-day use. This No Optics package does not include the optical power meter or visual fault locator.
