About the extension cable

The 3 meter DB9 (male) to DB9 (female) CAN bus extension cable is great for connecting multiple CAN nodes in a system. In particular, you can use it to connect a CANedge/CLX000 to an existing CAN bus system in difficult-to-reach locations.

The cable is non-terminated, letting you combine multiple cables. The DB9 pinouts are according to CiA 303-1, meaning that the cable can be used with any of our CAN loggers and adapters - as well as most other CAN tools on the market.

Below is an example where the extension cable may be relevant:

Industrial Automation CAN Bus Data Logger

Machine in hard to reach location

Need to log data from less accessible machinery?

If you need to collect CAN data from difficult-to-reach assets a DB9-DB9 extension cable can provide quick access to your CAN logger. It's also useful in case you need to stream real-time CAN data from e.g. test benches while being in a different room.

Note that the maximal bit rate falls as you extend the cables.




When the length of the CAN bus system is extended, there is an increased propagation delay. For signaling at 1 Mbps, the maximum cable length is 40 meters to be compliant with the CAN bus standard, which specifies a maximum propagation delay of 5 ns per meter. For details, see this NI article.
