Intec | Argus F300 - 10G

Argus F300 | 2.5G with optics only!

Compact tester for access and transport

ARGUS F300: The universal broadband tester
The new ARGUS F300 fiber optic tester scores with improved performance when testing broadband interfaces. The high-quality multifunction tester is ideally equipped for the expansion of future networks.

Modern design with a new housing concept

Its robust design combines the requirements of a compact handheld tester for daily field use with the performance of high-end testers. The ARGUS tester with touch display combines intuitive operation with the familiar ARGUS menu navigation. The redesigned GUI
combines the complexity of a combination tester with the ease of use of a smartphone with the help of many graphical elements. A new innovative internal help function supports the safe and fast interpretation of test results.

All necessary broadband interfaces

It also has many other interfaces and test functions, such as 2.5 GB Ethernet, OTDR, WLAN, copper, TDR, RFL, Triple Play, and much more. Extremely powerful hardware is provided specifically for tests in the Gigabit Ethernet range (up to 2.5 GigE).

Additional test functions

Thanks to its integrated WiFi interface, the Argus F300 communicates independently with its environment – a PC connection is no longer necessary. Integrated into your order management system, the Argus F300 heralds the next generation of broadband testing. The connection to well-known tools in particular increases the flexibility of the Argus F300. Speedtest from Ookla and iPerf are well-known solutions that have been introduced to the market and can now also be used with the Argus tester.
