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 (01340-7) has been added to Kvaser’s U100 range of robust, single-channel CAN/CAN FD to USB interfaces.
Kvaser U100-C is a robust, galvanically-reinforced and single-channel CAN/CAN FD to USB interface. Signal and power isolated, the Kvaser U100 offers enhanced electrical protection, a vibration, shock and drop-proof housing and high-quality cabling that establishes a new reference in CAN interface design.
With an intelligent LED that display bus loads and error frames, an industry-leading IP67 rating and an innovative connector system, the U100 has numerous stand-out features. Fully compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000 and DeviceNet, this suits rugged and higher voltage applications in marine, industrial, construction, heavy-duty, agriculture, and automotive, including electric vehicle markets.
Ideal for engineers and technicians who need a durable and high-performance CAN interface for reliable data communication, logging, and diagnostics in demanding conditio
