Compact CAN/CAN-FD USB interface
The Bolton Technical Kvaser U100-X1 is a single-channel CAN/CAN-FD to USB adapter built for automotive development and diagnostics. It connects to a host computer through a standard USB port and draws power from the same connection. The lightweight housing uses fiberglass-reinforced polyamide overmolded with TPE for durability in workshop environments.
Upgrade from basic CAN adapters
This interface adds CAN FD support up to 8 Mbit/s when the correct physical layer is implemented, alongside classic 11-bit CAN 2.0A and 29-bit CAN 2.0B active identifiers. It also provides enhanced galvanic isolation and a 9-pin J1939-13 Type II connector, replacing simpler non-isolated or single-protocol dongles that cannot handle higher-speed FD frames or heavy-vehicle diagnostics.
Suits engineers needing isolated FD and J1939
Developers and technicians working with modern vehicle networks, J1939-based heavy-duty systems, or mixed CAN 2.0 and CAN FD buses will benefit from the combined protocol support and isolation. Users who require multi-channel logging, wireless connectivity, or standalone operation without a host PC should consider other solutions.
