MOHR CT100B Metallic TDR Cable Tester

Overview

The MOHR CT100B is a state-of-the-art Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) cable tester designed for precision testing of coaxial, twisted-pair, and multiconductor cables in field and laboratory environments. With industry-leading spatial resolution and frequency-domain measurement capabilities, it detects subtle partial faults, opens, shorts, kinks, taps, shield damage, thermal damage, UV damage, water ingress, and connector issues.

Key Features

• High-resolution portable TDR with 8-10x sharper spatial resolution than competing instruments
• Multicore CPU up to 300 times faster than the original CT100
• 16 times more RAM memory than the CT100
• Subpixel sampling ensures every cable fault is visible at every scale
• Arbitrary length waveforms up to 1.5 million points
• Calibrated S-parameter measurements: Return loss (S11), Cable loss/insertion loss (S21)
• Smith charts for impedance matching analysis
• Real-time frequency-domain measurements
• 80 µm (760 fs) cursor resolution with 6-digit Velocity of Propagation
• 250 KSPS sampling with 500 Hz continuous full waveform capture for intermittent fault detection
• Live LAN/WAN/Internet streaming and remote control capabilities
• CT Viewer 2 software for PC-based trace analysis and comparison

Applications

• Coaxial cable testing and characterization
