Overview

ARGUS ® testers are ideal for developing and documenting new fibre optic infrastructure for the rapid expansion of modern optical networks. They simplify day-to-day work in the maintenance and testing of modern copper-based broadband interfaces as well as in the fibre optic sector and support troubleshooting and fault location.

 

Modern design

With its robust and even more compact design than its predecessors, the ARGUS® F200 is ideally suited to the demands of daily field service use. The device is equipped with a user-friendly touchscreen and the familiar intuitive ARGUS® menu navigation. A configurable favorites option means the most frequently used functions can be accessed even more quickly.

 

Multi-wavelength testing

The ARGUS® F200 supports measurements at three or optionally four or five wavelengths.

The selective 4-fold powermeter can be switched into an existing PON connection in through mode, enabling the optical levels on the different downstream (OLT) and upstream (ONT) wavelengths for GPON and XGS-PON to be determined precisely at the same time. Other transmitters that may be on the line (so-called Alien-ONT) can be detected. In addition, the PON ID can be read from the PLOAM message. A PLOAM monitor scans all ONU IDs and serial numbers of connected ONTs on a PON branch. With the 5xOPM, a video overlay via five separate filters is also possible.

 

Additional features

The ARGUS® F200 also features optional WLAN management and 2.4GHz wireless technology. In addition, the Fibre Inspection Tool can be connected via USB, which detects scratches and defects on optical fibres and displays them as a video image and in tabular form.

Introduction

Europe is deciding whether and how the goals of the "Gigabit Society 2025" and the "Digital Compass 2030" can be achieved. These strategies for expanding the digital broadband infrastructure in Europe are indispensable for maintaining and strengthening the business location and competitiveness. As important as they are, they are also ambitious. After all, every European household should be connected with at least 100 Mbit/s by 2025 and at least 1 Gbit/s by 2030.
