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). Triple-play testing (Data, VoIP and IPTV) is also available as an option.
As a handy all-rounder with a wide range of interfaces and expansion options, the ARGUS® 156 is the ideal mix of an all-in-one and single-interface tester.
