Kvaser U100

Product Code: 73-30130-01173-1

Kvaser U100 is a robust, single-channel CAN/CAN FD to USB interface with reinforced galvanic isolation. New product established April 2021

Kvaser U100  is the first in a new range of interfaces that is also suited to rugged applications in marine, industrial, heavy duty vehicle and heavy industries. Kvaser U100 ads more flexibility, it’s compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000® and DeviceNet. Supported on Windows and Linux incl. SocketCAN

Ruggedized Design

The U100 is made to operate in tough environments, with enhanced protection of its own electrical circuits, a vibration, shock and drop-proof housing and high-quality cabling that squarely addresses the needs of the evolving automotive development market.

Kvaser U100 establishes a new reference in CAN interface design and the Kvaser U100 mitigates the risk of disturbance caused by current leakage to measurements on the system under test. At the same time, the U100 promises to drive down cost of ownership, whilst providing additional revenue opportunities for partners.

Intelligent LED Interface

The U100 has an all-new, intuitive LED interface. Two high-visibility LED bars give realtime feedback on CAN traffic status, showing busload and error codes.  The U100 also features a robust connector with inverted strain release that handles more force than previous models when pulled or bent.
