Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-720-PON-85-204-IPX is a new-unit ordering package of the OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) platform. It combines the ONX-720 IPX software package with a PON Selective Optical Power Meter, a Visual Fault Locator and the ONX-CATV-D31-S-8520-1212 DOCSIS 3.1 module for 85/204 MHz upstream and 1.2 GHz downstream networks.

The OneExpert HFC validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps in under a minute. One-button OneCheck workflows and VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) guide the technician through pass/fail testing of Ethernet, WiFi, PON and DOCSIS services, with geo-tagged saved results.

Optical testing

The integrated PON selective power meter measures coexistent wavelengths separately on a dedicated SC/APC port and reads the PON-ID to confirm connection to the expected OLT. With the optional TruePON software, the instrument verifies 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 analysis cover physical fiber inspection.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-720/730 carries forward the RF and DOCSIS test capabilities of the ONX-620/630 and supports existing RF modules. The IP54-rated, drop-tested modular housing is upgradeable for 25G/50G PON and includes GPS, StrataSync connectivity, mobile app support and a field-replaceable 96 Wh battery.
