CableEye ^® Generic Test Interface Fixture Rated to 2100 Vdc, CB8H
Customize with Panel- and Cable-Mounted Connectors, LIF Test Blocks

Dec 14, 2021

CAMI Research Inc.(Acton, MA) manufacturer of the CableEye^® automation-ready cable and harness test system, has rolled out a test interface board that can be customized with LIF test blocks and any number of panel- and/or cable-mounted connectors not exceeding a total of 64 pins. Rated to 2100 Vdc/1200 Vdc, the CB8H fits all CableEye testers. Connectors not included. Customization service is available.

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.

This generic custom interface board accepts a wide range of circular or other connectors and accommodates LIF test blocks and bulkhead and/or cable-mounted mating connectors. While a bulkhead connector mounted directly to the board produces a more compact interface, a cable-mounted solution would be preferred if the test cable consists of heavy-gauge wire or is bulky. Any panel-mount circular connector with four mounting holes fits the “X”-pattern slots. Total pin count cannot exceed 64.

Connector pins are wired to labeled pads surrounding the board. Bare area provided for custom labeling such as a bar code. Use two CB8H boards together, or a CB8H in combination with any other CB board or built-in connector to accept any cable type.

Sold as a set of two boards, each test board may be paired with other CableEye adapter boards to accommodate any combination of connectors. Incredibly versatile, 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 with 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 test system 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

All connector boards are included in CAMI’s standard, renewable warranty of the tester for which it was purchased.
