CAMI Research releases CableEye USB Type-C test fixture

July 28, 2017

Acton, MA. CAMI Research Inc. has released a USB Type-C test interface board for its CableEye cable and harness testing systems. A daughter board populated with two USB-C female connectors, it allows users to continuity-check USB Type-C terminated cables using the CableEye tester while seeing the connectors-under-test rendered graphically. The CB26U fits all CableEye models.

Configuration

A developer of PC-based cable and wire harness, continuity, resistance, and hipot test systems for over 20 years, CAMI offers the CableEye suite of products complete with accessories—including connector boards. The selection of these test fixture boards is constantly growing and is currently numbering over 60—most of which are populated with families of connectors. When pre-populated boards are used, the tester GUI automatically displays a graphic of the connectors under test.

Sold as a set of two boards, each CB26U accepts two USB Type-C connectors. In addition to the latest CableEye software, it requires the CB26 small-frame motherboard (Item 756) for operation, and it plugs into one of two available slots—two USB-C-connectors can be tested simultaneously. The CB26 (with CB26U) attaches to the tester like a regular connector board.

Warranty and price

All connector boards are included in CableEye’s standard, renewable one-year warranty of the tester for which it was purchased. Available immediately, a CB26U set is $185 (Item 756U), and it requires a CB26 set (Item 756) for mounting and the latest CableEye software.
