Intec ARGUS 155 (115502) Tripleplay DSL Tester

Overview

The Intec ARGUS 155 is a premium handheld multifunction tester that integrates VDSL2 (up to 30 MHz), ADSL (Annex A, B, J, L, M), and SHDSL (2, 4, and 8 wire) technologies along with Ethernet, ISDN PRI/E1, BRI/S/T/U, and POTS interfaces. As the only handheld tester and analyzer to combine all these capabilities in a single device without requiring module swaps, it delivers comprehensive testing solutions for complex telecommunications networks.

The ARGUS 155's Gigabit Ethernet interface (GigE) enables download speeds up to 200 Mbit/s via HTTP and FTP, comparable to fiber optic modem performance. Advanced cabling diagnostics identify shorts, opens, mismatches, wire pair delay, and polarity issues with precision.
