The ARGUS® 166 combines all commonly used broadband (xDSL, GPON) 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). 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.
The ARGUS® 166 is the integrated all-in-one tester that combines all current test scenarios in one single, multi-functional, handy and intuitively operable device.
