The OBD2 16-Pin Male to Female Extension Cable is a practical and durable solution for extending the reach of your OBD2 diagnostic scanner, code reader, or data logging device. Whether your vehicle’s OBD port is positioned in a hard-to-reach location or you need to route the connection to a more convenient spot for monitoring, this extension cable delivers a reliable, secure link without compromising signal integrity.
Designed with full 16-core wiring, this cable ensures all pins are properly connected – including power, ground, CAN bus, K‑Line, and other communication lines. This complete pinout configuration guarantees compatibility with all standard OBD2 protocols and supports both 12V and 24V vehicle systems.
Key Features
Full 16-Core Conductor Configuration
Unlike basic cables that only connect essential power and CAN lines, this extension cable features all 16 pins wired with high-quality copper conductors. This ensures stable power delivery and complete data transmission for full diagnostic functionality, making it suitable for professional workshops and advanced diagnostics.
Universal Compatibility
Standard OBD2 16-pin connectors on both ends make this cable compatible with all OBD2-compliant vehicles (passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks) and virtually all OBD2 diagnostic tools, including ELM327 interfaces, professional scan tools, data loggers, and HUD displays.
Durable Construction
Manufactured with high-temperature-resistant PVC insulation and robust copper wire cores, this cable provides superior flexibility and longevity. The molded connectors feature integral strain relief boots to withstand repeated plugging and unplugging in workshop environments.
Plug-and-Play Design
No drivers, software, or installation required. Simply plug the male connector into your vehicle’s OBD2 diagnostic port (typically located under the dashboard) and connect your diagnostic device to the female end. Multiple cables can be daisy-chained together to achieve longer extension distances when needed.
Versatile Applications
Ideal for bench testing, in-vehicle diagnostics, emissions testing, data acquisition, and educational or prototyping projects. The extension helps protect your vehicle’s OBD port from wear and tear caused by frequent plugging/unplugging of diagnostic devices.
