Switch on. Measure. Find faults.
The ARGUS F Series is now also available with an Optical Fault Locator for FTTH services. intec will be showcasing this solution at ANGA COM 2026.
Lüdenscheid, May 2026
– Under the motto ‘Switch on. Measure. Find faults.’, intec
will be demonstrating at ANGA COM 2026
how fibre-optic connections in FTTH services can be tested more quickly, faults pinpointed and results documented directly on site.
The focus is on the new Optical Fault Locator
(based on OTDR
technology), which enables the analysis of fibre-optic links whilst they are in operation. Fault locations such as splices, connectors or reflections are detected at an early stage – before installation errors lead to subsequent faults and time-consuming repeat visits.
Structured acceptance testing for FTTH service operations
With the ARGUS F Series
, acceptance tests on fibre-optic connections in the FTTH network can be carried out easily and reproducibly – even under time pressure during service calls. A structured acceptance test forms the basis for quality assurance and comprises optical level measurements, analysis of the fibre route and an assessment of the connection’s performance. Technicians receive clear results rather than complex individual measurements and can decide directly on site whether a connection has been installed correctly.
Both the ARGUS F200
and the ARGUS F240
enable selective measurements in GPON
and XGS-PON
networks and can be expanded to include an Optical Fault Locator. This is used to systematically assess fibre-optic links during live operation, to pinpoint fault locations unambiguously and to reliably determine the physical quality of the link.
Ready to use in just 16 seconds and equipped with one-touch measurement, the devices enable a quick and intuitive start to measurements during service calls.
With the ARGUS F240
, connection and service quality can also be checked on-site. Tested under real-world conditions, technicians can verify the promised bandwidth and service quality as early as the commissioning stage.
For more in-depth analyses in the event of faults or with more complex routes, the ARGUS F300
complements the F-series with an integrated OTDR
. This allows fault locations to be pinpointed in even greater detail – without having to change equipment in the field.
The result: reduced troubleshooting during operation, fewer return visits and shorter commissioning times. intec
will be demonstrating exactly how this approach can be implemented in day-to-day FTTH operations at ANGA COM 2026.
