This OBD2 splitter cable is engineered for automotive professionals and DIY enthusiasts requiring an extra diagnostic port. Featuring a robust Male to 2-Female configuration, it allows you to run a permanently installed device (such as a GPS tracker, fleet telematics, or dash cam) while simultaneously keeping the OBD2 port available for a diagnostic scanner or code reader.
Accurate Specifications & Features:
- Connectors: 1x Standard 16-Pin OBD2 Male connector (with metal retaining clip) + 2x Standard 16-Pin OBD2 Female connectors (with white plastic locking latches).
- Wiring & Materials: Uses 22AWG pure copper core wires and high-grade PA66 (Nylon) injection-molded connectors to ensure high conductivity, stable signal transmission, and resistance to automotive temperatures and vibration.
- Cable Construction: Flexible PVC insulated wires bundled by a cable tie for organized routing under the dashboard; strain relief at the connector joints prevents wire breakage.
- Full 16-Pin Pass-Through: Fully wired for 16 pins (16-core) to support all standard OBD2 protocols (CAN, ISO9141, KWP2000, J1850 PWM/VPW), ensuring uninterrupted communication.
Key Benefits & Applications:
- Simultaneous Device Usage: Connect two separate OBD2 tools at the same time. Common use cases include pairing a scanner with a GPS tracker or connecting an ECU tuning tool alongside a data logger.
- Secure Locking Design: The male connector features a metal latch that firmly clicks into the vehicle's DLC (Data Link Connector). The female connectors have white side-locks to keep plugged-in adapters from vibrating loose.
- Protects Original Port: Reduces wear and tear on the vehicle's factory OBD2 socket by avoiding constant plugging and unplugging.
