Here are the introduction of OBD 2 Extension Cable Diagnostic Extender Adapter connector
A “CAR Diagnostic Cable OBD Female to OBD Male” (also known as an OBD male-to-female diagnostic cable) is a connecting cable used for vehicle fault diagnosis. Below is a detailed introduction to it:
•Function and Purpose: It is mainly used to connect a vehicle’s OBD port to diagnostic devices, such as fault code readers and diagnostic scanners. Through this cable, diagnostic devices can read fault codes, real-time data, and other information from the vehicle’s electronic control system. This helps maintenance personnel quickly and accurately identify vehicle faults, and it can also be used for vehicle emission testing, etc.
•Interface Standard: It usually adopts the international standard 16-pin OBD interface, ensuring compatibility with various vehicles and diagnostic devices that meet the OBD-II standard.
•Material and Characteristics: The cable is generally made of high-quality PVC material, which has good flexibility, wear resistance, and flame retardancy. The connector part is usually made of high-grade plastic and metal materials, such as phosphor bronze. These materials offer excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring stable connections and accurate data transmission.
•Structural Design: Some OBD male-to-female diagnostic cables are designed with high-toughness cable tails, allowing 360° flexible use. This design effectively protects the cable core and resists bending and stretching. Some cables also feature a flat design for easy portability and use, or are equipped with anti-slip textures and thumb screws to facilitate plugging/unplugging and ensure a secure connection.
•Diverse Types: To meet different needs, there are straight-head and 90° angled-head versions. Additionally, there are cables with different structures like “1 male to 2 female OBD2 Y-splitter cables” (Y-shaped splitter cables), which can satisfy various complex connection scenarios.

In addition, the double fish net long net tail design and one-piece mold make you completely worry about breakage.
When using OBD 2 Extension Cable Diagnostic Extender Adapter connector, please pay attention to the following tips:
Precautions for Using CAR Diagnostic Cable OBD Female to OBD Male
1.Confirm Device Compatibility: Before use, verify that the cable complies with the vehicle’s OBD standard (e.g., OBD-II) and that its interface matches the diagnostic device (such as a fault code reader or diagnostic scanner). This avoids connection failures or data transmission errors caused by compatibility issues.
2.Standardize Plugging and Unplugging Operations: When plugging in or unplugging the cable, operate gently. Align it with the interface and insert or pull it out slowly. Do not forcefully pull, twist the OBD 2 Extension Cable Diagnostic Extender Adapter connector or interface, to prevent damage to the pins of the OBD 2 Extension Cable Diagnostic Extender Adapter connector interface, the internal wire core of the cable, or the interface of the diagnostic device.
3.Pay Attention to Vehicle Power Status: It is recommended to connect or disconnect OBD 2 Extension Cable Diagnostic Extender Adapter connector when the vehicle is turned off. If operation is required when the vehicle is powered on (ACC or ON mode), confirm that the diagnostic device is ready first. This prevents damage to the device or interference with the vehicle’s electronic system due to current surges at the moment of power-on.
4.Avoid Excessive Bending and Pulling of the Cable: During use, prevent OBD 2 Extension Cable Diagnostic Extender Adapter connector from being excessively bent, squeezed, or pulled—especially the “cable tail” where the cable connects to the interface. This avoids wire core breakage and subsequent data transmission interruptions, and also prevents the cable from being crushed by vehicle components.
5.Keep Interfaces Clean and Dry: Before connection, check the OBD 2 Extension Cable Diagnostic Extender Adapter connector interface and the male/female connectors of the cable for impurities such as dust, oil, or water stains. If any are present, wipe them clean with a dry soft cloth. This prevents impurities from affecting connection stability or even causing short circuits that damage the device or vehicle circuits.
6.Control the Operating Environment Temperature: Avoid using the OBD 2 Extension Cable Diagnostic Extender Adapter connector for extended periods in extremely high temperatures (e.g., inside a vehicle after sun exposure) or extremely low temperatures. High temperatures may accelerate the aging of the cable’s outer sheath, while low temperatures may make the cable hard and brittle, prone to breakage—both affecting its service life.
7.Disconnect Idle Cables Promptly: After diagnosis is completed, disconnect the cable in a timely manner and store it properly. Do not leave the OBD 2 Extension Cable Diagnostic Extender Adapter connector plugged into the vehicle’s OBD interface for a long time, as this prevents accidental pulling from damaging the interface or abnormal vehicle circuits from causing wear to the cable or device.
