Argus F300 SM OTDR 1310/1650nm 37/35dB & GPON/XGS-PON tester

ARGUS F300 Universal Fiber Tester w. OTDR/GPON-/XGS-PON-ONT/10Gbitps/OLTS

The ARGUS F300 is a pure fiber tester that combines OTDR and selective OPM and is also able to determine and display the PON ID and XGS-PON ID.
It is the only device in the world that combines these fiber test functions in one device.

Its robust design combines the requirements for a compact hand-held meter in daily field use with the performance of a high-end tester.
The ARGUS tester with touch-screen display enables intuitive navigation of the familiar ARGUS menu structure.
The operation is as easy as with a smartphone and an internal help function supports the rapid and reliable interpretation of test results.

The ARGUS F300 reliably tests on GPON and XGS-PON interfaces in the quality you have come to expect.
The selective 4-fold power meter can be switched into an existing PON connection in through mode, allowing the optical levels on the different downstream (OLT) and upstream (ONT) wavelengths for GPON and XGS-PON.
In this process, other transmitters that may be on the line (so-called alien ONT) can be detected.
In addition, the PON ID can be read out 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 as an option.
On GPON as on XGS-PON, the ARGUS can also perform a complete ONT simulation with IP and performance tests at up to 10 Gbit/s.

The ARGUS F300 also has many other test functions, such as WLAN analyzer, triple play tests such as VoIP, IPTV and data tests in the form of upload/download, ping and traceroute as well as iperf or high-performance IP speed tests directly on the fiber or on Ethernet. The OTDR measures the line and the event attenuation and, together with the propagation time of the reflected pulse, can determine the line length, splices and connectors.

For the basic device, it is also possible to upgrade the device to an Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS).

A further optional ARGUS enhancement is the Fiber Inspection Tool. This video microscope can be connected via USB to the ARGUS and can use up to 120 inspection tips.
It detects scratches and defects on optical fiber connectors.
