CableEye® Phoenix Contact Test Fixture, CB56
IndexAug 12, 2020
CAMI Research Inc. (Acton, MA) manufacturer of the CableEye® automation-ready cable and harness test system, has released a test interface board preconfigured for 20-pin Phoenix Contact connectors. Any other connector with a 0.14" (3.5 mm) pitch can also be attached. Rated to 1500 Vac/dc, the CB56 may be used on all CableEye models. Connectors not included.
Configuration
A leader in the development of PC-based cable and wire harness test systems, CAMI offers the CableEye suite of products complete with accessories – including auto-detected, plug-in connector boards for fast, convenient set-up and testing of standard cables. There is an extensive and growing stock library of these test fixture boards – several of which are populated with families of connectors, such as the video market’s CB16A for BNC, SMB, SMA, and N connectors. Many boards are sold unconnectorized, a high proportion of which are configured for specific connectors, such as the CB41 through CB44 for Micro D connectors. When pre-populated and pre-configured boards are used, the tester GUI automatically displays a graphic of the connectors and wiring under test. The tester can be readily programmed to do the same for custom boards and fixtures. These boards are designed to fit all CableEye testers
The CB56, sold without connectors, offers 6 positions for Phoenix Contact connectors or any other connector with 0.14” (3.5 mm) pin pitch. Arranged in three pairs, each pair shares a different set of test points than the other two and so the operator may test a cable that is connected between two different pairs on the same board. The board is preconfigured for Phoenix Contact connectors and ships with Phoenix Contact connector graphic and pin map. As with all standard CB boards, pre-configured connectors under test are instantly, automatically detected and rendered on the screen together with the wiring.
Sold as a set of two boards, each test board may be paired with other CableEye adapter boards to accommodate any combination of connectors. An incredibly versatile test system, CableEye testers are expandable to accommodate large and complex harnesses, and users can connect, and configure them in numerous ways — set up an array of QuickMount™ Housings fitted connector boards, plug custom interface cables directly into any of the 64 pin headers on the control and expansion modules, or use a test interface panel, perhaps on a rack-mounted system. Not just a tester, a CableEye tester is a complete cable management system offering features not available on any other cable test equipment, and may be used to test unlimited types of connectors.
Warranty
Connector boards are included in the standard, renewable one-year warranty of the CableEye tester for which it was purchased.

CAMI Research produces expandable and upgradable diagnostic Cable & Harness Test Systems for assembly, prototyping, production, and QC of standard or custom cables. CableEye ® Testers display, and document electrical properties such as continuity, resistance, capacitance, dielectric breakdown, insulation resistance, miswires, and intermittent defects.
CableEye ® Automation-Ready Cable and Wire Harness Test Systems
CableEye testers are highly versatile, expandable and upgradable diagnostic and Pass/Fail check Cable and Harness Test Systems that are PC-based. They are used for assembly, prototyping, production, and QC of standard or custom wire cables and harnesses The entire suite of products is powered by the same easy-to-use operating software and, with the help of its signature easy-to-interpret color-coded graphics, instantly identifies not only when there is a fault, but what type of fault and where.
Low Voltage M2 Series
For diagnostic and Pass/Fail Testing - Find, display, log, & document continuity (opens, shorts, miswires, intermittent connections).
Low Voltage M3 Series
For all of the above plus resistance (contact, isolation, embedded), and diodes (orientation, forward voltage, reverse breakdown).
Low Voltage M4 Series
For all of the above plus precision resistance (4-wire), and capacitance (twist wire relationship, length of cable, length to break, capacitors).
Low Voltage and High Voltage HVX Series
For all as described for M3 plus HiPot (dielectric withstand voltage and insulation resistance). 4-Wire Kelvin Measurement and Advanced Measurement Options (capacitance, twist wire relationship, length of cable, length to break, capacitors) are available.
