Description

Tier 1 Multifiber Testing Redefined—One Cord. 24 Fibers. Zero Doubt.
The VIAVI Data Center Expert 700 (DCX™ 700) is a revolutionary Tier 1 multifiber optical loss test set built for high-density AI data centers and modern fiber environments. It simplifies and accelerates multifiber certification with intuitive workflows, true one-cord referencing, and native support for 12, 16, and 24-fiber links. By eliminating Y-cables and reducing setup complexity, the DCX 700 enables more certifications per shift, fewer errors, and faster technician onboarding—making it the most efficient and future-ready solution for high-density fiber environments.

Detailed Description

The VIAVI DCX 700 transforms multifiber certification from a complex, error-prone process into a streamlined, intelligent workflow. As cloud providers scale rapidly, the demand for fast, accurate, and repeatable fiber certification grows. The DCX 700 addresses this challenge with a technician-friendly platform that reduces setup time, improves test consistency, and adapts to evolving connectivity. Its true one-cord referencing method—a single connection on each end of a single cord without any branches or Y-cables—simplifies referencing and test processes, reduces time needed to onboard new techs, increases consistency, and minimizes consumable costs by using standard off-the-shelf test cords. With native support for up to 24 fibers, it eliminates the need for Y-cables, streamlining operations and reducing equipment needs. Modular, swappable adapters keep the platform future-ready as connectivity evolves, while an extended-life, field-swappable battery supports full-shift productivity without unnecessary downtime. Automation and cloud-enabled reporting via VIAVI’s Test Process Automation (TPA) platform further reduce manual steps and provide real-time visibility from start to finish.
