The Curtiss-Wright CBL-1905-0003 is a front panel breakout cable that expands high-density connector access on VME-1905/1908 and VPX6-1956/7/8/9 series modules. This cable breaks out the front panel interface into discrete, industry-standard connectors, enabling direct signal access for test, integration, and field maintenance without custom adapters.
## Technical Specifications
**Product:** CBL-1905-0003 Front Panel Breakout Cable
**Manufacturer:** Curtiss-Wright
**Form Factor:** 6U form factor compatibility
## Key Features
• Two RS-232 ports via DB9 connectors (COM1 and COM2)
• One Gigabit Ethernet port—1000Base-T RJ45 jack
• One USB 2.0 receptacle
• One DVI-D video connector
• One pushbutton reset switch
All connectors use industry-standard pinouts and mechanical interfaces. The cable design minimizes EMI coupling while maintaining signal integrity across mixed analog and digital I/O.
## Typical Applications
This breakout cable simplifies lab integration, system development workflows, and field troubleshooting. Engineers gain immediate access to serial, Ethernet, USB, and video outputs without intermediate patch panels. Reset switch placement allows operator control of module initialization during test sequences.
## Compatibility & Integration
The CBL-1905-0003 is qualified for:
**VME Series:**
• VME-1905
• VME-1908
**VPX Series:**
• VPX6-1956
• VPX6-1957
• VPX6-1958
• VPX6-1959
The cable terminates the module’s high-density front panel connector and presents each functional group as a standalone interface. This architecture suits both benchtop evaluation and integrated system deployment where multiple I/O types must remain accessible.
