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 and 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 software Supports protocols:
PCIe 4.0/5.0/6.0, 802.3cd/ck/dj, CEI 4.0/5.0/5.1, and SAS 3.0/4.0/4.1The 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.Technical Specifications:
