Compatibility Between CB Boards and CableEye Testers
✓ A green checkmark denotes that the CB board is compatible with the tester displayed in the column.
✗ A red x denotes that the CB board is NOT compatible with the tester displayed in the column.
A number in the "Expansions Required" column means that the tester requires the number of expansion modules displayed to use the board.
Only for the HVX High Voltage testers, the "Voltage Rating" column displays the maximum voltage that the board can sustain without dielectric breakdown.
