About the Caterpillar-DB9 (14-pin) adapter cable
The Caterpillar-DB9 (14-pin) adapter is suited for use in many Caterpillar heavy duty vehicles - incl. loaders, mining vehicles, construction machinery and more. The cable lets you connect your CANedge/CLX000 CAN logger directly to the CAN bus. See also our Caterpillar-DB9 (9-pin) variant.
Simply locate the 14-pin connector in your vehicle, typically found in the cabin (sometimes behind a panel).

Heavy-duty fleet telematics
Need to log J1939 data from a fleet that includes Caterpillar vehicles?
In mixed heavy-duty vehicle fleets, some Caterpillar models may be fitted with the 14-pin Caterpillar connector. In such cases, the simplest way to record J1939 data with your CAN logger is to connect it directly to the CAN bus via this adapter cable. This way, you automatically start logging all broadcasted raw J1939 data from the vehicle - allowing you to e.g. set up telematics solutions in no time. The CANedge/CLX000 support optional 'silent mode' to ensure that the device does not affect the CAN bus.
