CAMI CableEye M4 Cable Tester Enhanced System 2: 152 Testpoints, Expandable to 2560, USB
With the CableEye test system you can easily test any cable or cable farnesses with your PC, for example for continuity, open wires, short circuits or miswiring. The CableEye cable tester is particularly suitable for cable production, research and development, maintenance, network technology and prototyping as well as for everyday testing in industry, event technology etc. With different connectior boards and a flexible software for Windows the system "learns" your cables and then tests them. Choose from a wide variety of plug-on connector boards to mate with most standard cables, and easily mount custom connectors for unusual applications.
- CableEye M4 (CAMI-824) - the enhanced system 2 for 152 test points, expandable to 2560.
- Store full cable documentation.
Print out cable wiring diagrams.
Print labels.
Log and print error protocols. - Visualize cable wiring: Automatically draw schematics from measured cable connections. Compare cables.
Easy testing of cable leads. - Plug-in connector boards, easy to install, for various connector types like BNC, RJ45, D-sub, ribbon cable/IDC and many more.
- Connects to the PC via USB.
- Easy-to-use Windows software. Can be set up for one-button operation to speed production testing. Unskilled operators need only to press the TEST pushbutton on the fixture to trigger an involved test sequence set up by the quality control engineer, with results automatically logged to disk for later analysis and report generation.
- Continuity test:
Detects open lines, short circuits and miswired cables.
Pass/fail test with a 'known good' sample.
Locate intermittent connections and identify their position in the cable. - Resistance measurement:
Testing of resistors integrated in the cable, e.g. termination, pullup/pulldown (depending on model).
Test of diode orientation. - Advanced measurement functions:
Resistance (4-wire Kelvin).
Capacitance.
Cable length, wire length.
Length to break.
Cable wisted pairing.
