OBD-II to USB BMW INPA K+CAN Diagnostic Cable

OBD-II J1962 16-pin male to USB Type-A diagnostic cable with transparent shielded jacket. Passive cable variant of the BMW INPA K+CAN interface; pairs with an external PCB module for BMW INPA / K+CAN diagnostics.

Overview

Every assembly is built to the pinout, length and jacket specification agreed on the order, so the lead that arrives is the one the job actually needs rather than a generic part that mostly fits.

Key Specifications

Cable Type: Passive Diagnostic Cable
Connector A: OBD-II J1962 16-Pin Male
Connector B: USB Type-A Male
Application: BMW INPA / K+CAN Diagnostics

Construction and Materials

The transparent jacket over a braided shield is what the braid looks like when it is not hidden, and it is how you can confirm at a glance that shielding is present rather than assumed. The J1962 16-pin male plug goes to the vehicle; the USB Type-A plug goes to the host.

Typical Applications

Used with an external interface module for BMW INPA and K+CAN work: reading and clearing fault codes, running actuator tests and coding modules on the K-line and CAN buses. Popular with independent specialists and enthusiasts who run the factory tooling on a laptop.

Compatibility and Fitment

This is the passive cable variant only; the active interface electronics are not included and must be supplied separately. It is a USB lead, so observe the usual host port current limits and use a powered hub when the interface draws more than the port provides.

Custom Builds and Ordering

Cable length, conductor cross section, jacket material and connector plating can all be specified per order. Send the pinout or a sample and the assembly will be built to match, with OEM and bulk packaging available for production runs.
