DB9 Female to OBD-II Male Cable

This item is exactly as described. I don't know what's with the weirdo who left the same copy-pasted comment saying "OMG YOU'RE USING IT WRONG AND YOU ARE A MORON BURN IN HELL!!!1" comment for even other reviewers saying "yup, this is a CiA DS-102 to OBD-II DLC cable", but this cable is exactly the thing looking for if you're interested in CAN bus communication with an OBD-II data link connector using any of the myriad available CAN bus transceivers with DE-9 male conforming to CiA DS-102 pin recommendations.I'm not going to tear this cable apart to confirm that the CAN bus wires are internally a 20 AWG twisted pair but it does seem to do the job just fine. I'm pretty darned happy about this at any rate. Thanks a bunch!

The cable itself is good quality, but it the pinout isn't correct. I had to cut the DE-9 connector off and rewire it myself. Not a big deal (because I already know how to do this) but if you don't you're in for some pain.

As stated in the short description, the long description, and in the above comment, this cable uses the standard CAN DS102-2 9-pin D-Sub pinout. The cable is well-constructed, functions perfectly, and a datasheet is available on the manufacturer's website.Do note that the cable is only 900mm/~36in. long.

Works as advertised.

Thank you

OBD pin 6 is DB9 pin 3, OBD pin 14 is DB9 pin 5,... so it is annoying and a waste of time to use it.
