Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-720-PON-42-85-TSX is a new-unit ordering package of the OneExpert HFC ONX-720. The ONX-720/730 platform validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps in under a minute. It is built for installation and service technicians testing residential and small business services.

This package combines the ONX-720 mainframe with a PON Selective Optical Power Meter, a Visual Fault Locator, OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G SpeedCheck. It also includes the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4285-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module (42/85 MHz upstream, 1.0 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream), the ONX 720 TSX software package, a protective fitted case and Cat6A M-F and M-M jumpers.

Optical testing

The selective power meter measures coexistent PON wavelengths separately and reads the PON-ID to confirm connection to the expected OLT. With the optional TruePON software, the unit automatically checks Total Optical Loss, PON-ID, OLT connectivity and received power against the ODN class. A 1 mW VFL and support for USB fiber scopes with automatic pass/fail analysis help locate faults in the fiber.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-720/730 carries over the RF and DOCSIS testing features of the ONX-620/630 and supports the existing RF modules. Test Process Automation provides one-button OneCheck workflows that save geo-tagged results. The IP54-rated modular design has an upgrade path to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0, along with integrated GPS, StrataSync and mobile app support.
