Overview
The VIAVI OneExpert HFC ONXF-730-PON-85-204-NTX is a new-unit package of the OneExpert HFC ONX-730 handheld tester. It combines DOCSIS, Ethernet, PON and WiFi 7 service validation in one instrument and is used for service activation and troubleshooting at speeds up to 10 Gbps. The manufacturer states that throughput validation over these interfaces takes under a minute.
This package ships with the ONX-CATV-D31-S-8520-1212 DOCSIS 3.1 module (85/204 MHz), the ONX 730 NTX software package, a PON selective optical power meter, a visual fault locator and the optical loss mode. OneCheck Ethernet, OneCheck WiFi and 10G SpeedCheck are also included.
Optical testing
The selective power meter measures coexisting PON wavelengths separately through a dedicated SC/APC port. It can read the PON-ID to confirm that the technician is connected to the expected OLT. With the optional TruePON software, the unit automatically checks total optical loss, PON-ID, OLT connectivity and received power against the ODN class. A 650 nm visual fault locator and support for USB fiber scopes with automatic analysis help locate fiber faults.
DOCSIS and RF
The ONX-720/730 platform keeps the RF and DOCSIS test functions of the earlier ONX-620/630. These include downstream QAM and OFDM analysis, upstream ingress scanning, and forward and reverse sweep with the SCU-1800. Existing ONX DOCSIS/RF modules are supported.
Workflow and construction
VIAVI Test Process Automation provides one-button OneCheck workflows that give pass/fail results and save them with geo tags. The IP54-rated modular unit has integrated GPS and a field-replaceable 96 Wh battery. It supports StrataSync and the VIAVI Mobile Tech app, and its design allows upgrades to 25G/50G PON and DOCSIS 4.0.
