Includes a 152-point fixture and electronics (enough to test SCSI cables with up to of 68 conductors), expandable to 1024 test points by connecting M3 Expansion Modules (Item 822 or 823, each module adds 128 points). All of the same features and capabilities of CableEye Model M2 (Item 811) described above. Model M3 Special Features: Set resistance thresholds for contact resistance down to 0.5 ohms, and for isolation up to 10 Megohms. Measure embedded resistors from 100 ohms to 999 kohms with 1% accuracy, and lesser accuracy from 0.5 ohms to 10 Megohms. Measure diodes and resistor/diode combinations, automatically learn networks of diodes and resistors for comparison against electronic modules with similar networks.

Choose 64, 128, or 152 active test points with a switch for optimum measurement time. TEST pushbutton and READY, MATCH, and ERROR indicators for one-button operation. Cable measurement time less than one second. Industry-standard 64-pin dual-row latch headers easily interface to external test fixtures of your own design for custom applications. Also includes a remote control socket for an external footswitch (Item 714) or for a custom remote control to extend panel indicators, a 10-pin probe socket, and a 24-test-point extender socket for use with the CB5 board set (SCSI cables, Item 735). Rugged, 1/16"-thick aluminum case with scratch-proof Lexan surface for long life in an industrial environment. As with our M2 tester (illustrated in the color brochure) the price includes the CB15 board set (Item 745, shown in the photo above), PC software, database of over 200 standard cables, serial interface cable for your PC's COM port, power module, User's Guide, one-year warranty, one-year free tech support, one-year free software and database upgrades. Ready to use.

When using our resistance-capable Model M3, you may connect diodes and resistors by name and value, check resistance values over the range of 0.5 to 10 M, and test conduction and isolation resistance against specified thresholds. Programmable tones accompany the graphic screen to give clear signals to the operator when good connections are completed or when incorrect connections, resistance violations, or reversed diode insertions are detected. Includes probe, software, and operation guide.

All new CableEye systems ship with Windows software at no additional charge. This item is for customers with older equipment using our DOS application who wish to upgrade to Windows software. The software upgrade includes Windows software for PinMap and Exporter for those who are currently licensed users of these optional software products.

The Windows software supplied with any tester you purchase requires that the tester be connected to your computer to function. Purchase this standalone license if you wish to install the software on a second computer and operate it independently of the test fixture. You may find this useful for database management, report printing, label printing, cable design, Macro editing, and log printing. This may be installed on a server for multi-point access. When you purchase this license, you will receive a document authorizing standalone use and a diskette containing a key code file. Install the software from the original CD ROM included with the tester and then add the key code file to the CableEye folder to enable standalone startup.

This rugged, polyethylene case weighs only 2.5 lbs, is resistant to moisture, oils, and solvents, and includes a foam-lined compartment. The mechanical hinges and latches are designed for long-term durability and will safely transport the CableEye test fixture with up to one attached expansion module (256 TP total), power module, serial cable, and one or two board sets (depending on the board type and whether an expansion module is attached). The outside dimensions of this case are 17" long, 12.5" wide, and 3.5" deep. Standard color: black. Foam insert may be different than that shown in photo.

Similar in design to the tester carrying case above, the CB board case weighs about 6 lbs empty and can store between 10 and 20 CB boards in the 20-slot rack, depending on the size of the connectors. Additional room in the front of the rack is wide enough for additional CB board packed in their original bubble bags, and other accessories. The outside dimensions of this case are 18.5" long, 14" wide, and 7" deep. Standard color: black.

Order the CB Board rack by itself without the carrying case for CB board storage on your workbench. See Item 725.

Connect this to the REMOTE socket on the M2 or M3 CableEye (Item 811 or 821). It functions exactly like the TEST pushbutton and frees your hands during batch testing. It is made of rugged, heavy-gauge steel for long life in an industrial environment. Secure it to a fixed base or floorboard using mounting holes in the base, if desired. This low-profile design rises only 3/4" from the floor, and its 2.5 X 3.5" dimensions require little room on your work-area floor. Includes a 10-foot cord with a miniDIN8 connector.

A probe cable like the one shown in the photo ships with every order for PinMap (Item 708) and AutoBuild (Item 728). This is a replacement item.

Use this adapter PCB with our CB5 board to test 0.8mm 68-pin cables. You will need a short cable with MD68 male connectors on each end to link CB5 to this adapter board. Then you can plug in the 0.8 mm cable to the other side of the adapter board. Priced per board. You will need two boards if you have a 0.8 mm connector at both ends of the test cable.

Conveniently store CB connector boards that are not in use. Twenty slots will hold between ten and twenty boards; certain boards, such as CB4, require two positions because of the height of the connectors. This 7"x20" rack is made of rugged red plastic, weighs 2 lbs, and has carrying handles on the front and rear.

We also offer a carrying case with this rack built-in for off-site work. See Item 704B.

Hand-held bar code scanner to speed production testing and ensure accuracy. Available in USB and keyboard wedge versions. Requires no software driver, serves as a second keyboard. Plug-and-play. Requires CableEye software version 4.2 or greater.

Low-cost Windows software package that permits you to easily design bar code labels forms. Works with HP laser and inkjet printers as well as many thermal printers.

Attach to 64-conductor flat cable (Item 852) to build an extension from the 64-pin headers on CableEye.

Item 851, 64-pin Vertical Boardmount Header with Ejection Latches Photo

Use this for custom PCB connector fixtures or mount in the "Custom" position of CB2 for testing 64-conductor flat cable. This connector is designed to be soldered to a printed circuit board! The pins are not long enough for wire-wrapping, but a compatible connector with wire wrap pins can be obtained from 3M.

Item 852, 64-conductor IDC Flat Cable Photo

Use this flat cable with Items 850 and 853 IDC connectors (shown in the photo).

Item 853, 64-pin Vertical Surface-Mount IDC Header with Ejection Latches and Mounting Brackets Photo

Mount this on harness boards or other flat surfaces to link the mounted connectors on the board to a removable 64-conductor flat cable

Item 854, 64-Conductor Pre-Assembled and Tested Flat Cable with 64-Pin IDC Headers at Each End Photo

You specify the length when ordering. Connectors are attached to both ends so the cable may be tested before shipment. You may cut the cable in half for custom wiring.

Item 855, 64-pin Boardmount Socket Photo

These are the same interface sockets used on the underside of CAMI CB boards. Order this for your own custom interface board designs.

Item 856, CB Board Extension Cable Photo

If you need to test cables less than 5" long, remove one CB board from the fixture and electrically reconnect it using this 64-conductor extension cable. You may then position the free-floating CB board as close to the 2nd CB board as necessary to accommodate short test cables.
