Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-730-BB-42-85-NTX is a new-unit ordering package of the OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/730) platform. It combines the ONX-730 mainframe with the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4285-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module (42/85 MHz upstream, 1.0 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream), a broadband optical power meter, a visual fault locator and the optical loss test mode, together with the ONX 730 NTX software package.

The instrument validates DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 connections at throughput rates up to 10 Gbps, with OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and VIAVI SpeedCheck at 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps included. VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) provides one-button, guided pass/fail workflows intended to keep installation testing consistent across technicians and to reduce repeat visits.

Optical testing

The broadband power meter covers 800 to 1650 nm with eight calibrated wavelengths and a UPP 2.5 mm connection. An integrated 650 nm visual fault locator and support for USB fiber inspection scopes with Auto Analysis cover basic fiber troubleshooting. The optical loss mode stores a reference and calculates loss.

DOCSIS and RF

The ONX-730 continues the RF and DOCSIS test capabilities of the ONX-620/630, including support for existing RF modules. The NTX package includes the Return Signal Generator with loopback and Ingress Expert; reverse sweepless sweep, QAM video MPEG verification and PathTrak Field View are available as options.

Design

The unit is IP54 rated, drop-tested and modular, with a path to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0 upgrades. It provides integrated GPS, StrataSync and mobile app connectivity and a field-replaceable 96 Wh Li-Ion battery rated for multi-day use.
