ARGUS 163 for PoE/PoE+, VDSL2, WLAN and More!

FTTx Test Solution

The ARGUS 163 offers all modern high-speed interfaces in a single instrument, including G.fast, VDSL2 super vectoring and profile 35b bonding, as well as an SFP port for FTTx or GPON.

The ARGUS 163 combines the capabilities of a tester for everyday installations with those of an instrument for modern high-speed interfaces. It is the only measuring device in its class that offers LAN cabling tests, and also the only one on the market that combines this with G.fast and VDSL2 profile 35b bonding. This not only enables technicians to localise in-house cable faults (short-circuits, swapped connections, wiring faults, etc.) quickly and easily, but also to verify the availability of power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+).

By means of concurrent triple-play tests, the ARGUS 163 can perform authentic stress tests on copper (DSL, ETH) or glass fibre-based interfaces. Thanks to its multiple DSL chipsets, it offers maximum interoperability with G.fast, VDSL2 super vectoring, profile 35b bonding, VDSL and ADSL – yet another feature that no other tester offers. If desired, this instrument can also test telephony (VoIP/ISDN/POTS), as well as copper (TDR, DMM, etc.) and wireless (WLAN, LTE).

ARGUS 166 xDSL-GigE Combination Tester

1G Ethernet Testing Solution

No other tester offers so many interfaces and functions: the ARGUS 166 combines all commonly used broadband (xDSL, GPON, LTE) and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with comprehensive triple-play functions in a single measuring device.

This user-friendly xDSL-GigE combi tester stands out thanks to its wide range of interfaces and high-capacity (up to 1 Gbit/s) GigE functionalities such as loop, traffic generator and RFC2544. This makes it ideal not only for qualifying Ethernet connections but also for a broad array of performance tests, particularly for super vectoring and G.fast accesses as well. Thus, the ARGUS 166 is the ideal tester for MSAN commissioning.

The ARGUS 166 is unmatched: it is the only meter on the market that covers G.fast, VDSL2 profile 35b bonding, ADSL2/2+, SHDSL (up to 8 wire), GigE performance tests and telephony (ISDN/POTS) as well as copper (TDR, DMM etc.) and wireless (WLAN, LTE). The ARGUS 166 is also equipped with two SFP ports, e.g. for FTTx (active Ethernet) and GPON, for unique flexibility. All IP tests (Data, VoIP, IPTV and GigE tests) can also be performed using the ARGUS 166 SFP slots.

ARGUS 156 for Physical Line Qualifiation, E1 (PRI) and high-end SHDSL.

Tiple-play and xDSL Combi Tester

The ARGUS 156 triple-play and xDSL combi tester is a low-cost, hand-held device for all xDSL interfaces, such as G.fast, VDSL2 (super vectoring + profile 35b bonding), ADSL and SHDSL.

It is the ideal entry-level meter for high-end SHDSL measuring technology and for servicing and commissioning business and backbone accesses through a combination of E1 interface (PRI) and SHDSL-TDM/ATM/EFM. The built-in interfaces can be flexibly expanded as needed to add additional functions, for instance telephony (ISDN/POTS), copper (TDR, DMM etc.) or wireless (WLAN, LTE).

 

The ARGUS 156 also enables (advanced) copper tests for physical line qualification without synchronising with the remote station. Triple-play testing (Data, VoIP and IPTV) is also available as an option.
