MOHR CT100B for Rent, Metallic TDR Cable Tester

Product Highlights

The new Mohr CT100B Metallic Cable Tester provides state of the art TDR measurements in a rugged portable package. These instruments are ideal for precision testing of all types of coaxial, twisted pair, and multiconductor cables in the field or the lab.

The new CT100B improves upon the original MOHR CT100:

• • New multicore CPU up to 300 times faster than the CT100
  • 16 times more RAM memory than the CT100
  • Subpixel sampling --> every cable fault is visible at every scale
  • Arbitrary length waveforms up to 1.5 million points
  • Calibrated S-parameter measurements
    • Real-time frequency domain measurements
    • Return loss (S11)
    • Cable loss / insertion loss (S21)
    • S11 Between Cursors time-windows the feature of interest
    • Smith charts to simplify complex impedance matching problems
    • Normalized TDR traces with adjustable rise time
  • Optimized menu system to simply common tasks such as connecting to CT Viewer and scanning cables.
  • New on-screen help library.

Limitless Applications of the Mohr CT100B

• Tests all types of cable and connectors
  • Coaxial cable
  • Twisted-pair cable
  • Multiconductor cable (e.g. MIL-STD-1553B, MIL-STD-38999)
• Detects subtle partial faults, opens, shorts, kinks, taps, shield damage, thermal damage, sunlight/UV damage, water ingress, loosened or corroded interconnects, poor-quality cables and connectors.
• Aging Aircraft
• CATV, Power, Telephony
• Naval / Marine
• Wireless Infrastructure
• PCB Characterization
• Soil Moisture, Geophysics

Key specifications of the Mohr CT100B include:

• Industry's only high-resolution portable TDR - resolves connector detail (
   (At least 8-10x sharper spatial resolution than competing TDR instruments (
• Industry's only portable TDR with frequency-domain measurements (return loss (S11), cable loss (S21)
• Much faster and easier to use than VNA with much better distance-to-fault precision and accuracy  (NO range/resolution/bandwidth tradeoffs, NO calibration drift)
• Industry's most accurate impedance measurements (16-bit ADC, advanced calibration features)
• Industry's most accurate cable lengthmeasurements (80 um (760 fs ) cursor resolution, 6-digit VoP)
• Industry's fastest intermittent fault detection ;(250 KSPS, 500 Hz continuous full waveform capture)
• Industry's only TDR exceeding all Tektronix 1502CTDR specifications

Other features of the Mohr CT100B Metallic Cable Tester include:

• Two independent cursors simplify differential impedance, return loss, and distance-to-fault measurements.
• Layer-Peeling reduces TDR waveform impedance errors caused by multiple reflections.
• ZTrace nonlinear transform displays impedance waveform in Ohms.
• Intermittent Fault Detection displays probability density or min/max envelope with impedance-at-cursor.
• Enhanced Calibration provides the industry's best impedance accuracy.
• AutoFit button fits any cable to the screen automatically.
• Configuration library makes repeat measurements as easy as a press of a button.
• Save thousands of TDR traces that you can later zoom in/out on, and compare or subtract from live or previously saved traces.
• Live LAN/WAN/Internet streaming and remote control of any CT100 Series TDR. Leverage real-time engineering oversight from thousands of miles away.
• Download your TDR data to a PC and review it later with the included CT Viewer 2 software.
