Overview
The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-730-42-85-NTX is a new-unit package of the ONX-730 handheld tester. It combines the ONX 730 NTX software package with the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4285-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module, configured for 42/85 MHz upstream and 1.0 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream operation. This is a No Optics package, so it does not include the optical power meter or the visual fault locator.
The OneExpert HFC platform validates DOCSIS, Ethernet and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps. OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G VIAVI SpeedCheck come standard. Test Process Automation (TPA) gives technicians guided one-button workflows that report pass/fail results and save them with geo tags.
DOCSIS and RF
The ONX-720/730 continues the RF and DOCSIS test functions of the ONX-620/630 and works with existing ONX DOCSIS/RF modules. On the NTX package, the Return Signal Generator with Loopback and Ingress Expert are standard. Reverse Sweepless Sweep, QAM Video MPEG Verification and PathTrak Field View with RSG are available as options.
Platform
The mainframe is IP54 rated, weatherproof, drop-tested and modular. Its design allows upgrades to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0. It has integrated GPS, StrataSync support, Bluetooth connectivity to the VIAVI Mobile Tech app and a field-replaceable 96 W/hr Li-Ion battery.
