Mohr CT100

Automated Metallic TDR Cable Tester

CT100 Series Automated Metallic Time-Domain Reflectometer (TDR) Cable Testers combine next-generation advances in time-domain reflectometry with labor-saving software features, long battery life, bright color screens, and industry-leading ergonomics.

The new CT100 and CT100HF are the industry's highest-resolution portable metallic TDRs, designed for testing all coaxial and twisted-pair cables and interconnects used in modern microwave/RF and digital systems. These are the only portable instruments that exceed all TDR specifications of the Tektronix 1502C Metallic TDR Cable Tester, while providing next-generation improvements in TDR analysis, data storage, connectivity, and ergonomics.

CT100 Series TDRs feature 8-10x sharper spatial resolution and 100-1000x better Distance-to-Fault (DTF) resolution than competing TDR instruments, and have multi-GHz bandwidth similar to competing FDR (Frequency-Domain Reflectometer) instruments with similar or better cable fault sensitivity and orders-of-magnitude better DTF precision.

These instruments unique combination of fast system risetime, high-resolution timebase, and precision 16-bit impedance measurements allow you to identify and correct subtle changes in cable and connector performance before system failure. Some of the CT100 Series' innovative features are described below. Also, please read CT100 Series Features for more information.

Key Features

• Now in beta status! - FFT Math Package for estimating frequency-specific return loss/VSWR, insertion loss, cable loss, S11/S22 S-parameters.
• Live LAN/WAN/Internet streaming and remote control of any CT100 Series TDR. Leverage real-time engineering oversight from thousands of miles away.
• AutoFit button fits any cable to the screen automatically.
• Two independent cursors simplify differential impedance, return loss, and distance-to-fault measurements.
• Save thousands of TDR traces that you can later zoom in/out on, and compare or subtract from live or previously saved traces.
• Configuration library makes repeat measurements as easy as a press of a button.
