Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI ONXF-730-BB-42-204-SWX is a new-unit package of the OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) platform. It combines the ONX-730 mainframe with the SWX software package, a broadband optical power meter, a visual fault locator, optical loss mode and the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4220-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module for 42/204 MHz upstream and 1.0 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream operation.

The OneExpert HFC validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 throughput up to 10 Gbps in under a minute. VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) provides one-button OneCheck workflows with pass/fail results for Ethernet, WiFi, DOCSIS and PON, intended to improve process compliance and reduce repeat visits.

Optical testing

The broadband optical power meter covers 800 to 1650 nm with eight calibrated wavelengths. A built-in VFL and support for USB fiber scopes with Auto Analysis assist in fiber troubleshooting.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-730 retains the RF and DOCSIS test capabilities of the ONX-620/630, including support for existing RF modules, with downstream and OFDM analysis, upstream ingress scanning, and forward and reverse sweep compatibility with the SCU-1800.

Design

The unit is IP54 rated, drop-tested and modular, upgradeable for 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0, and includes GPS, StrataSync and mobile app support with a field-replaceable 96 Wh battery.
