  • Introduction:

     

    The i-CTS high-speed cable testing system is a dedicated solution independently developed by iTenest for signal integrity testing of high-speed cables  and connectors ,such as PCIe®, IEEE802.3, HDMI®, SAS, USB, etc, which features high precision,  high efficiency and high reliability.

    The i-CTS high-speed cable testing system consists of a performance-leading vector network analyzer, a configurable switch matrix. an automated testing software, specified fixtures, DUT, an electronic calibration kit an d testing accessories.

          

    Vector Network Analyzer

    Scalable to 26.5,43.5,67GHz . 
    Time domain and de-embedding algorithm are available as software options ETDR and IFD.

    Matrix switch

    Number of ports on demand, hardware option that fits your throughput: 64/96/128/144/192,etc.

    Automated testing s oftware

    Supports protocols:
    PCIe 4.0/5.0/6.0, 802.3cd/ck/dj, CEI 4.0/5.0/5.1, and SAS 3.0/4.0/4.1

    The switch matrix and software are also compatible with vector network analyzers from other top brands, enabling the rapid deployment of a high-speed cable testing system.

     

    Key Features:

     

    High Precision High Efficiency
    ◆ Three hardware options—26.5 GHz, 43.5 GHz, 67 GHz—each delivering benchmark measurement integrity.
    ◆ IFD™ Intelligent Fixture De-embedding and time-domain algorithm supply picosecond-resolution rise time and fixture-corrected S-parameters.
    Upgradeable architecture lets a 43.5 GHz VNA upgrade to 67 GHz possible from Itenest service center

    ◆ Industry-leading testing throughput, with a 15 - 30% or more  improvement compared to traditional integrated solutions.
    ◆ A fast calibration algorithm. By  using a two-port electronic
    calibration kit, the calibration time is less than one hour.

    High Reliability Service Support

    ◆ Delivers the same long-term amplitude and phase stability that defines the industry-reference network analyzer.
    ◆ Built on mainstream high-reliability switches in the industry,so your production-line maintains repeatability for years.

    ◆ Comprehensive, Itenest-backed service plans protect every analyzer, switch, and software license..
    ◆ Flexible and  customized services are available—one contract, global response.
