The ARGUS 165 combines all standard broadband interfaces (ADSL, VDSL, SHDSL) and fast Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with comprehensive Triple Play test functions in one measurement device. Without having to swap modules, the user can select or change the interface via the intuitive menu and perform tests at the push of a button.
The ARGUS 165 supports this with, amongst other things, two SFP slots and a copper-based Gigabit Ethernet interface. Thanks to the various Gigabit Ethernet SFPs, the tester offers the greatest possible compatibility for connection to fiber-based interfaces. It is thus possible to carry out Triple Play and performance tests directly on FTTx or GigE components via the GigE interface (copper or fiber).
The handheld tester also enables physical analysis of DSL copper wires (Cu tests) using the Line Scope; the time and frequency domain (FFT) are displayed in real time. Using the optional Active Probe II, even high-impedance measurements on a DSL connection in use are possible without interfering.
