Mohr CT100 Series TDRs are the industry's most

capable and versatile tools for troubleshooting and maintenance of modern microwave/RF and digital communications ca bl es and i nte r con nec ts .

Features and Benefits

Industry's Best Cable Fault Sensitivity

With ultrawideb and step‐pulse architecture and 16‐bit digital sampl in g , these instruments can detect subtle cable faults before they impair system performance.

Industry's Best Cursor Resolution

Measure cabl e length and localize faults with 75 micron (0.003 in.) precision, hundreds of times better than competing TDR and FDR instruments.

Industry's Best Spatial Resolution

With the ability to resolve faults and interconnect and PCB feature s located less than 9 mm (CT100HF) or 14mm (CT100) apart, CT 100 Series TDRs have spatial resolution many times sharper than competing TDR and FDR instrumen ts .

High‐Resolution Cable Scanning

Scan a cable or portion of a cable at high‐resolution (up to millions of po in ts ); later,translate and rescale for comparison to other scanned or live traces, either on the device itself or on the included CT Viewer™ TDR analysis so f twa re package.

Capture R ap id Transient Faults

With the ability to acquire u p to 500 waveforms per second, CT100 Series TDRs are uniquely able to identify and localize transient faults that other instruments would miss.

Versatile Connectivity Options

Client USB and 10 /10 0 Mb Eth er ne t ports for connection to a PC and host USB port co mpa tibl e with U S B thumbdrives, k eybo ar ds , and bar code readers. Now featuring l iv e LAN/WAN/Internet streaming and remote control of any CT 10 0 Series TDR via CTViewer™.

Ergonomics for Easy Use

Rugged, port abl e, and l ig ht weig h t, CT100 Series TDRs feature lo ng battery life and bright daylight‐readable color scre ens .

Applications

CATV, Power, Telephony Naval / Marine Wireless In fr as tr u ctu re Aerospace / Aviation PCB Control l ed Impedance TDR Sensors (Soil Moisture, Geophysics)
