Product Overview

The CCBT is a high-speed consumer cable tester capable of measuring eye performance from 2 Gbps to 29 Gbps. It supports USB4 GEN2/3, DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and lower version buses. Users can select eye masks for USB4 GEN2/3 TP3, UHBR20_DPTx-TP3, and HDMI 2.1 FRL_12 TP2. The CCBT is suitable for both passive and active copper cables, as well as Active Optical Cables (AOC). It also monitors power consumption in active mode. Eye scanning is completed within 5 seconds through parallel measurement. 

Key features

·        Eye Measurement Function: Includes eye height, eye width, mask margin, etc.

·        Built-in Eye Masks: Supports various standards, Custom Eye Masks.

·        Parallel Measurement: Capable of measuring 1 to 8 lanes simultaneously.

·        Individual Lane Configuration: Each lane has separate Tx FIR and Rx CTLE + DFE, allowing users to select different standard presets and CTLE settings in the GUI.

·        High Data Rate support: Testing can be done in the 2 Gbps - 29 Gbps range for both passive and active cables.

·        Custom Data Patterns: Internal CDR allows eye opening measurement

for any data pattern.

·        Quick Testing: Interchangeable test adapters eliminates the need for RF cables.
