This Autel original OBD2 Y-extension is made to extend your vehicle's single OBDII Data Link Connector (DLC) into two female 16-pin sockets while keeping signal integrity and physical durability. It's a compact, plug-and-play solution that preserves access to power and data without splicing or adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow reliable is the signal and data transmission with the splitter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable uses high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors and a robust internal core to reduce resistance and maintain quick data exchange.
