Data Center Expert 700 (DCX 700)

Tier 1 Multifiber Testing Redefined—One-Cord. 24 Fibers. Zero Doubt.

Tier 1 Multifiber Optical Loss Test Set

The VIAVI DCX 700 is purpose-built for high-density AI data centers, where speed, efficiency, and operational consistency are critical requirements.

With One-Cord Referencing and native support for 12-, 16-, and 24-fiber connectivity, the DCX 700 simplifies and accelerates test setup while eliminating the need for Y-cables. This reduces test variability and ensures more consistent and repeatable results across multiple deployment sites.

The platform also supports modular adapters that can be easily interchanged to meet evolving connectivity requirements, helping organizations future-proof their testing infrastructure as fiber technologies continue to advance.

To support uninterrupted field operations, the DCX 700 is equipped with a high-capacity, long-life battery that is field-swappable, enabling technicians to work through an entire shift without downtime for charging or equipment replacement. This maximizes productivity and keeps testing operations running efficiently in demanding deployment environments.

Key Features & Benefits

Easy to Use

  • Certify more fiber links during each work shift, increasing technician productivity and project throughput.
  • Accelerate every stage of the workflow, from test setup and execution to certification reporting.

Comprehensive Coverage

  • A single test instrument supports all types of connectivity, enabling end-to-end testing across diverse fiber applications.
  • Reduces the number of required tools and simplifies equipment management through swappable adapters.
  • Field-replaceable battery design supports continuous operation throughout the entire workday, ensuring uninterrupted field productivity.

Intelligent

  • Automated workflows reduce rework
  • Deliver consistent results even in large-scale deployments
  • Supports cloud-based reporting and visibility
Importance of True One-Cord Referencing

One-Cord Referencing is considered a best practice in the industry for Tier 1 multifiber certification. However, not all one-cord solutions are created equal.

The DCX 700 delivers True One-Cord Referencing, meaning a single connection at both ends of the same cord, with no branching or Y-cables involved.

This significantly simplifies the referencing and testing process, reduces training time for new technicians, improves consistency in certification workflows, and lowers consumable costs by allowing the use of standard, commercially available test cords.

The DCX 700 is the only solution that provides genuine True One-Cord Referencing, enabling faster, more accurate first-time-right results in every application.

VIAVI One-Cord Referencing

  • No Y cables used
  • Simplifies processes and workflows

Competitor One-Cord Referencing

  • Uses Y-cables, increasing operational complexity
  • Number of connection points increases by up to 3×
  • Higher risk of errors during testing

Seamless Integration of DCX with VIAVI Test Process Automation

Test Process Automation (TPA) is a cloud-based workflow solution designed for teams responsible for building, testing, and deploying network services. Powered by the StrataSync system, it connects field teams and test instruments to ensure alignment, efficiency, and accuracy across every stage of the workflow.

TPA operates through an ecosystem consisting of four key components:

  • StrataSync
  • VIAVI Mobile Tech App
  • ReportPro
  • VIAVI test instruments

Each component is designed to provide teams with the necessary data and resources to perform their work effectively, along with real-time, start-to-finish visibility into project status and execution.
