CT100B (MOHR Engineering) Features and Specifications *
The MOHR CT100B TDR Cable Analyzer is a portable instrument designed for precise testing of metallic cables and connectors. It stands out as a versatile and reliable tool for capturing transient and intermittent faults, making it an essential device for professionals in aerospace, aviation, naval, marine, CATV, power, telephony, wireless infrastructure, PCB impedance measurements, TDR sensors, and tank farms. One of the features of the CT100B is its ability to capture rapid intermittent and transient faults with exceptional accuracy. The Envelope Plot mode display allows users to capture transient faults down to 2 milliseconds duration, ensuring that even the most elusive faults are detected and analyzed effectively. This capability sets the CT100B apart from other TDR instruments on the market, making it a preferred choice for industries where pinpoint accuracy is crucial.
In addition to fault capture, It offers rapid digital filtering and smoothing functionalities, enabling real-time sampling of up to 250,000 samples per second. With waveforms of up to 1.5 million points in length, users can store comprehensive high-resolution cable records for future comparison and analysis. The display-independent resolution of the CT100B ensures that every fault is visible at every horizontal scale, providing users with detailed insights into cable performance and integrity. It is equipped with dual cursors that simplify waveform measurements, allowing users to measure relative distance, time, impedance, reflection coefficient, VSWR, return loss, and insertion loss between cursors. This feature enhances the precision and efficiency of fault localization and analysis, enabling users to make informed decisions based on accurate measurements. The CT100B's ability to scale and position waveforms at either cursor and shift waveforms horizontally for alignment with comparison waveforms further enhances its usability and versatility. Accurate distance-to-fault measurement is a critical aspect of cable analysis, especially in multi-cable systems with varying velocities of propagation. The CT100B excels in this area by allowing users to designate regions of a compound cable assembly with different velocities of propagation and directly measure distance-to-fault at cursor and between cursors using the multisegment cable feature. This capability is demonstrated in Figure 4, which showcases distance-at-cursor measurement through multiple cable segments with different velocities of propagation.
