OBD2 16-Pin Splitter Extension Cable 1 to 2 with One Switch

Most Y splitters are dumb pass-throughs — this one carries a switch. One OBD2 male 16-pin plug into the vehicle, two 16-pin outputs on the other end, and a selector switch that lets you choose which branch is live. When the tracker on one branch and the scanner on the other both want the bus, the switch settles it with a flick instead of an unplugged connector.

Connected pins meet all vehicle communication standards, the working temperature spans -30 to 82°C, and materials of the connector and cable comply with RoHS standards. High-quality construction keeps the lead flexible and durable in daily fleet service, where the switch mechanism itself is the part that gets exercised and is built to take it.

Key features

• One OBD2 male 16-pin to two 16-pin outputs
• Selector switch chooses which branch is live
• Connected pins meet all vehicle communication standards
• Working temperature -30 to 82°C
• RoHS-compliant connector and cable materials

Specifications

An honest electrical note: the switch selects between branches — it is a selector, not an amplifier. With the switch mid-change the bus blips, so flip between readings rather than during a live data stream, and treat the always-connected branch (the tracker) as the default position.

Typical applications

• Fleet vehicles where the tracker must stay installed and reachable
• Technician visits that need scanner access without unplugging telematics
• Rigs where two instruments alternate on one vehicle port
• Situations where the plain splitter caused exactly this bus contention
