Black USB-to-CAN converter cable with DB9 connector and isolation markings

MCDODO

MCDODO USB to CAN Converter Cable 3000V isolation 120 terminal resistor 20Kbps-1Mbps CAN 2.0A/B

SKU CH-SDJ6-45CD4

Connects single-board computers to CAN bus with 3000V isolation, 120Ω termination, and 20Kbps-1Mbps CAN 2.0A/B support

  • Product typeSingle Board Computers
  • 3000 V isolation protects connected boards from high-voltage transients
  • 2500 V ESD shield guards the USB CAN cable against electrostatic discharge
  • 120 configurable terminal resistor matches bus impedance for reliable communication
  • 20 Kbps to 1 Mbps programmable baud rate covers CAN 2.0A and 2.0B speed needs
  • Plug-and-play SDK with C, Python and SocketCAN drivers accelerates CAN bus development

Universal USB-to-CAN adapter for SBCs and PCs

This USB-to-CAN converter cable links Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3B+, 3, Zero, Jetson Nano, Tinker Board and any single-board computer to a CAN bus. It also works with desktops and laptops running Windows, Linux, macOS, Android or Venus OS. No external power supply is needed for operation.

Industrial-grade protection for continuous bus

The cable provides 3000 V signal isolation and 2500 V ESD shielding to protect the host during sustained CAN communication. A configurable 120 terminal resistor is built in for proper bus termination. Supported baud rates span 20 Kbps to 1 Mbps under both CAN 2.0A and 2.0B protocols.

Plug-and-play development toolkit for CAN projects

The package includes a C and Python SDK plus SocketCAN drivers for Linux and an IOUSBKit demo for macOS Big Sur. These tools let developers integrate CAN messaging into applications without writing low-level driver code. The compact cable form factor keeps bench setups tidy.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power draw should I expect from the MCDODO USB to CAN converter cable when it runs continuously?

The cable draws power directly from the USB port and requires no external supply, so heat and power consumption remain minimal during all-day operation.

What host device and operating system must I already have for this cable to work?

You need a computer or single-board computer with a free USB port running Windows, Linux (Raspbian/Ubuntu), macOS, Android or Venus OS.

Will the 120 terminal resistor and 3000V isolation on this cable interfere with older CAN 2.0A or 2.0B devices on the same bus?

The 120 terminal resistor is configurable and the 3000V isolation protects the bus, so the cable works alongside legacy CAN 2.0A and 2.0B equipment without conflict.
