OBD2 16-Pin Male-to-Female Extension Cable

OBD2 16-Pin Male-to-Female Extension Cable

This cable extends the physical connection between a vehicle's diagnostic socket and a compatible interface or reader. The offered design has a 16-pin male connector at one end and a 16-pin female connector at the other. It is useful where direct access is awkward or an interface housing interferes with surrounding trim.

Position the Interface More Accessibly

• Move a connected interface out of a confined area towards a more accessible position.
• Appropriate cable routing can reduce leverage and mechanical loading from the interface housing at the socket.
• Keep connected equipment easier to inspect and disconnect when the diagnostic job is finished.

The cable does not secure an interface against loss or guarantee protection from damage. Route it clear of pedals, moving parts and sharp edges. Grip the connector housing when disconnecting instead of pulling on the cable.

Check the Connection Requirements

Match the diagnostic device's requirements to contact allocation and continuity, application voltage and the cable length needed. Sixteen connector positions alone do not prove that every required conductor is present or suitable for the intended communication. Confirm the length and construction of the offered item before ordering.

An extension does not add CAN FD, DoIP, coding, licenses or coverage of unsupported vehicles. It does not replace a dedicated adapter for a different connector type. SAE J1962 defines diagnostic-connector requirements; this reference is not certification of this cable or approval by a diagnostic-equipment manufacturer.
