OBD2 Extension Cable with Power Switch, 60 cm

Leave a scanner or tracker plugged into the OBD2 port overnight and it quietly drinks the battery — a dead car on Monday morning is the classic invoice. This 60 cm extension adds an inline power switch: flip it off and the downstream device loses supply completely, flip it on for diagnostics or live tracking. The full 16-pin pass-through means switched-off only cuts power at your choice; with the switch on, every pin continues untouched.

The male head is right-angle and low profile, so the cable exits the port cleanly in the tight space above the pedals instead of sticking out to be kicked. The connector and cable materials comply with RoHS, and the working range spans -30 to +84 °C — comfortable through engine-bay-adjacent heat and winter mornings alike. Pins meet all vehicle communication standards, so protocol lines are not sacrificed for the switch.

FAQ

Does the switch cut data lines or just power?
The switch cuts the supply to the downstream device; with the switch on, all 16 pins pass through as if the cable were not there.

Why a right-angle plug?
The OBD2 port usually faces the seat with centimetres of clearance; the angled head keeps the run flat and stops knees from levering the plug out.
