Kvaser U100-C

Product Code: 73-30130-01340-7

Kvaser U100-C interface now for the latest laptops and PCs supporting USB-C

The latest laptops and PCs come with USB-C slots only, so the Kvaser U100-C has been added to Kvaser’s U100 range of robust, single-channel CAN/CAN FD to USB interfaces. This interface is based on the standard Kvaser U100 with DB-9 connector, but replaces the standard USB type “A” connector with the smaller USB-C format. As with other devices in the range, this is powered via the USB bus.

Ruggedized Design

Robust, galvanically-reinforced (Tested according EN 60335) and signal and power isolated, the Kvaser U100 range offers enhanced electrical protection, a vibration, shock and drop-proof housing and high-quality cabling that establishes a new reference in CAN interface design.

Other variants of the U100 range pair a standard USB type “A” connector with a 9-pin D-SUB, M12 or OBD-II CAN connector.  A Precision version is also available – the Kvaser U100P – with a standard USB type “A” connector to a 9-pin D-SUB.

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.
