Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-720-BB-42-204-IPX is a new-unit package of the ONX-720 handheld tester for residential and small business service installation. It combines DOCSIS, Ethernet, fiber and WiFi 7 testing in one instrument and validates throughput up to 10 Gbps.

This package is part of the Broadband Power Meter range. It includes a broadband optical power meter and a 1 mW visual fault locator, OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G SpeedCheck, the ONX-720 IPX software package, and the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4220-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module (42/204 MHz upstream, 1.0/1.2 GHz downstream).

Test Process Automation

VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) gives technicians one-button OneCheck workflows that apply automatic pass/fail criteria to Ethernet, WiFi, DOCSIS and PON tests, and saves results with geo tags. The aim is consistent installation testing, less training and fewer repeat visits.

Platform

The ONX-720 builds on the RF and DOCSIS testing of the ONX-620/630 and works with existing OneExpert CATV RF modules. The housing is IP54-rated, weatherproof, drop-tested and modular, with an upgrade path to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0. It has integrated GPS, StrataSync and mobile app support, and a field-replaceable high-capacity battery.
