Overview
The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-720-PON-65-204-IPX is a new-unit package of the OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) platform. It validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 service throughput up to 10 Gbps, and VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) runs the tests with a single button to support process compliance and reduce repeat visits.
This package belongs to the PON Selective Power Meter line and pairs the ONX-720 mainframe with the ONX 720 IPX software package. It includes 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-6520-1212 DOCSIS 3.1 module, which has a 65/204 MHz upstream split and a 1.2 GHz downstream.
Optical testing
The selective power meter measures coexistent PON wavelengths through a dedicated SC/APC port. With the TruePON software option, the instrument checks total optical loss, PON-ID, OLT connectivity and received power against the ODN class. Fiber inspection is supported through USB fiber scopes with automatic pass/fail analysis.
DOCSIS and RF
The ONX-720/730 keeps the RF and DOCSIS test capabilities of the earlier ONX-620/630 and supports existing RF modules. The unit has an IP54 rating and a drop-tested modular housing, and it can be upgraded for 25G/50G PON. It also provides integrated GPS, StrataSync and mobile app support, and a field-replaceable 96 Wh battery.
