July, 2015 MOHR TDR Cable Tester Picked by US Navy
Richland, WA — MOHR Test and Measurement LLC (MOHR), a sup- plier of precision time-domain reflec- tometry (TDR) instrumentation, has won a 5-year contract award from the
U.S. Navy to supply high-resolution portable TDR cable testers. The con- tract is worth an estimated $5.3 mil- lion at commercial pricing. The Naval Supply Systems
Command (NAVSUP) selected
MOHR’s new upgraded CT100 TDR, which has a new high-performance multicore CPU and unique collection of time and frequency domain analy- sis tools, for its General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE) program. The CT100 TDR will be used to support shipboard, subma- rine, shore, and Marine Corps cable testing applications. The CT100 TDR cable
testers are commonly used in the defense, aerospace, tele- com, electric power, automo- tive, and other industries for precision testing of twisted pair, coaxial, and multicon- ductor cables and connectors. The instruments share fea- tures with high-end benchtop TDR sampling oscilloscopes including fast rise time step- rise test signal, subpicosecond timebase resolution, and spe- cialized TDR waveform analy- sis tools that provide substan- tially better cable fault resolution and sensitivity than competing portable instruments. A step-rise TDR instrument can

measure changes in the characteris- tic impedance of a cable along its length that may signal the presence of cable manufacturing defect(s), thermal or radiation insulation dam- age, the presence of water, or other subtle abnormalities, in addition to focal impedance discontinuities indi- cating the presence of cable faults. Faster TDR rise times indicate high- er system bandwidth and result in impedance waveforms with higher spatial resolution, improving the sensitivity and accuracy of cable fault measurements. CT100 Series TDRs have step-
rise test signal, 0.003-in. (75µ) cursor resolution, system rise times as low as 60ps (20-80 percent, CT100HF), and horizontal range of up to 44,000- ft. (13.4km). The instruments weigh approximately 5 lbs. (2.3 kg) and in- clude bright color screens, USB and 10/100 Ethernet connectivity, and support for USB peripherals includ- ing keyboards, flash drives, and bar- code readers.
An array of built-in TDR wave-
form analysis tools allow the opera- tor to measure cable length, local im- pedance, return loss, voltage stand- ing wave ratio (VSWR), and cable loss, and detect and localize subtle cable faults, including minor conduc- tor or insulation damage, water ingress, and loosened, corroded, or poor-quality interconnects. User con- figurations store settings for fre-

quently-used test configurations and the instruments can store thousands of high-resolution TDR waveforms for later analysis or comparison. CT100 Series TDRs are bundled with CT Viewer, full-featured TDR wave- form analysis software designed for Microsoft®Windows®. CT Viewer lets the user analyze and compare stored TDR waveforms, capture real-time video from CT100 Series TDRs at up to 250ksps, and remotely control CT100 Series TDRs over a
LAN/WAN or the Internet. Contact: MOHR Test and Meas- urement LLC, 2105 Henderson

Valtronic Purchases Zeiss Contura 3D
Les Charbonnres, Switzerland — Valtronic, manufacturer of miniatur- ized electronic products for trusted medical device partners, has pur- chased a 3D measurement machine — the Contura from Zeiss. The system is top-rated for geo-
metric control down to microns, which is a necessity for products like spinal implants such as Titanium ALIF Cages produced for one of its most important customers. By pro- viding flexible, reliable and uncom- promising quality assurance, the Contura will offer a large package of optical sensors, in addition to a large measuring range. The 3D measure- ment machine adds unprecedented value to Valtronic’s specialization in intelligent orthopedics and will assist on the concentration of orthopedic implants manufacturing. The Contura will reside within
Valtronic’s Mechanical Design and Precision Machining workshop locat- ed in Les Charbonnires, directly across the street from the corporate
office. Contact: Valtronic Technologies
