Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-720-BB-65-204-TSX is a new-unit package of the ONX-720 handheld tester. It tests DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 connections and validates throughput up to 10 Gbps. The package combines a broadband optical power meter and a visual fault locator with OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi, 10G SpeedCheck, the ONX 720 TSX software package and the ONX-CATV-D31-S-6520-1212 DOCSIS 3.1 module (65/204 MHz upstream, 1.2 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream).

Test Process Automation

VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) gives technicians one-button OneCheck workflows that automate pass/fail testing for DOCSIS, Ethernet, WiFi and PON. Results are saved with geo tags, and guided steps keep installations consistent and reduce repeat visits.

Optical and fiber tools

The integrated broadband optical power meter measures power levels through a dedicated optical port. The 1 mW visual fault locator and support for USB fiber scopes with automatic analysis are used to check fibers and connectors.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-720/730 continues the RF and DOCSIS test functions of the ONX-620/630 and supports the existing RF modules. The IP54-rated modular platform includes GPS, StrataSync and mobile app support, and a field-replaceable 96 W/hr battery.
