16-Pin OBD2 Cable (Light/Medium Duty)
$30.00 USD
Product Overview
If you’re running a light or medium duty truck, chances are your diagnostic port is a standard 16-pin setup, and that’s exactly what this cable is built for. The 16-Pin OBD2 Cable links that port straight to your ELD device, so engine and hours-of-service data can move back and forth without dropouts or guesswork. No adapters, no rewiring. Just plug it in, and your logs stay connected. It’s a small piece of hardware, but it’s the one thing standing between a clean inspection and a frustrating one.
Key Features
Here’s what makes this cable worth having in your truck:
- Direct 16-pin connection, no adapter needed.
- Works as both a light duty OBD2 cable and a solid fit for medium duty rigs.
- Pairs directly with LogSafe’s PT30 hardware and app.
- Housing built to survive daily plugging and unplugging.
- Keeps data transmission steady, so your ELD reporting doesn’t glitch out mid-shift.
Compatibility
This is where a lot of drivers get tripped up. If your vehicle has a 16-pin OBD2 port, standard on most newer light and medium duty trucks, you’re good to go. Older rigs or heavier trucks running a 9-pin J1939 or J1708 setup will need a different cable entirely, so double check your port before ordering.
Benefits
A mismatched cable causes more headaches than people expect: dropped connections, spotty data, and log gaps that show up at exactly the wrong moment during a roadside stop. This one’s built to avoid all that. It’s plug-and-play, so there’s no technician visit or extra cost. And because it feeds real-time engine and hours data straight to your device, your compliance record actually reflects what’s happening on the road.
