Overview
The VIAVI ONXF-730-PON-42-204-NTX is a new-unit ordering package of the OneExpert HFC ONX-730 handheld tester. It combines DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 testing in one instrument and validates service throughput up to 10 Gbps, with VIAVI Test Process Automation (TPA) providing one-button OneCheck workflows for technicians.
This package is configured for PON and cable service activation. It includes the PON Selective Optical Power Meter, a Visual Fault Locator, Optical Loss mode, OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G SpeedCheck, together with the ONX-CATV-D31-S-4220-1012 DOCSIS 3.1 module for 42/204 MHz upstream and 1.0 GHz/1.2 GHz downstream networks and the ONX 730 NTX software package.
Optical testing
The selective power meter measures coexistent PON wavelengths separately through a dedicated SC/APC optical port. It reads the PON-ID to confirm the connection to the expected OLT. With the optional TruePON software, it verifies Total Optical Loss (TOL), PON-ID, OLT connectivity and received power based on the ODN class.
DOCSIS and RF
The ONX-720/730 continues the RF and DOCSIS testing 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 as standard.
Design
The unit is IP54 rated, weatherproof and drop-tested. Its modular design supports later 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0 upgrades. It has integrated GPS, StrataSync and mobile app support, and a field-replaceable 96 W/hr battery.
