Efficient fibre-optic measurement technology for field service applications
intec is presenting the ARGUS F Series at Fiberdays 2026 in Frankfurt – equipment designed to make fibre-optic service operations more efficient.
Lüdenscheid, March 2026 – intec Gesellschaft für Informationstechnik mbH is presenting its ARGUS F-Series at Fiberdays 2026 in Frankfurt – a range of test instruments specifically developed to improve efficiency in fibre-optic servicing.
The roll-out of fibre-optic networks continues at full speed. Installation pressures, tight timeframes and rising quality requirements characterise the day-to-day work of service engineers. Every minute counts and every error incurs additional costs. This is precisely where the ARGUS F-Series comes in: it combines several measurement and test functions in a single device, simplifies testing processes and supports structured, traceable documentation directly on site.
With a boot time of just 16 seconds, a clear tiled menu and integrated direct tests, the F-Series enables a quick and intuitive start to measurements. Installations can be completed more swiftly, faults pinpointed immediately and the need for return visits avoided.
Three devices, one goal: more efficient service processes
The ARGUS F-Series comprises the F200, F240 and F300 models, which cover a range of requirements in day-to-day FTTH operations.
The ARGUS F200 enables selective level measurements in GPON and XGS-PON networks, even whilst the network is live. In addition to the standard PON wavelengths, it also measures the 1550 nm wavelength for a video overlay, thereby enabling a reliable assessment of all relevant signals – even in mixed-mode operation involving GPON, XGS-PON and video within a single PON network.
The ARGUS F240 extends these functions to include comprehensive IP and performance tests up to 10 Gbit/s. In addition to triple-play tests, it supports WLAN analyses up to Wi-Fi 7 as well as high-performance speed tests, making it ideal for the activation and acceptance testing of fibre-optic connections in a single operation.
In addition to the functions of the F240, the ARGUS F300 is the world’s only device to combine an OTDR with a selective OPM, whilst also integrating ONT simulation and performance tests. Faults can be precisely located and connections tested immediately afterwards – without having to change equipment.
Documentation, flexibility and practicality
With the ARGUS Mobile App, measurement results can be transferred and processed directly. This facilitates structured documentation and handover to network operators or clients.
Optionally, a fibre inspection tool can be connected to check the end face of an optical fibre for scratches and defects, displaying the results as a video image and in tabular form. The F-Series devices can be optionally upgraded to an Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS), thereby enabling the precise assessment of signal losses. An integrated SFP slot offers additional flexibility, for example for use in Active Ethernet structures.
Robust construction and ‘Made in Germany’ quality ensure reliable performance in the demanding day-to-day environment of FTTH.
ARGUS F-Series live at Fiberdays 2026
At Fiberdays 2026 in Frankfurt, intec will demonstrate how installation and testing processes can be made more efficient with the ARGUS F-Series.
