Custom OBD cables built for the data, not the price list
In automotive diagnostics and data logging, the cable is the critical link. A weak link means corrupted data, failed flashes and costly downtime. We engineer OBD cables from the ground up for signal transmission, durability and reliability — from the service bay to the racetrack.
Most cables look the same from the outside
It is the engineering inside that defines performance and lifespan. Four points decide whether a cable survives a workshop year: the connector, the terminals, the cable and its shielding, and the strain relief where nearly every failure actually begins.
Built around our own connector
Because the connector at the end of the cable comes off our own tooling, the overmould, the strain relief and the housing are designed as one part rather than three bought-in pieces glued together.
The custom obd cables workflow
Four stages, one owner. You keep a single point of contact from the first call to the packed carton.
Define and spec
A technical consultation on voltage drop limits, data speed, environmental challenges and the connector interface you have to mate with.
Design and prototype
Our engineers produce the 3D model and schematic, then build functional prototypes for your team to validate in your environment.
Validate and approve
We do not just wait for feedback — you get a full test report on the prototypes against the agreed specification before mass production.
Manufacture and deliver
Approved samples move to the controlled production line, where every cable gets a final electrical and functional test before shipment.
Six things that are yours to specify
These are not options on a form — each one is a tooling or process decision we own, which is why we can say yes to them.
Pin configuration
Male or female terminals, nickel or gold plated, brass or phosphor copper, and other specifications to your requirement.
Housing and form factor
Low-profile, right-angle, ruggedised or compact bodies to fit a constrained space.
Connector gender and type
Male, female, or unusual combinations to suit the interface you have to meet.
Cabling and wiring
Specific cable lengths, jacket materials such as oil-resistant or high-temperature, and shielding construction.
Materials and colour
High-grade plastics, composites and dyes to meet aesthetic and environmental specifications such as UV resistance or flammability rating.
Integrated electronics
Inline components such as resistors, LEDs or a simple PCB for signal conditioning and status indication.
More than a supplier — your engineering partner
Seamless accountability. One point of contact, one quality standard, one guaranteed outcome. The friction of a fragmented supply chain disappears along with the finger-pointing.
Accelerated innovation. Integrated teams communicate in real time, which shortens development cycles and gets a superior product to market sooner.
Optimised total cost. Designing for efficiency at every stage removes waste and redundancy, producing a more reliable part and a lower total cost of ownership.
Guaranteed cohesion. The connector is optimised for the cable and the mould is perfected for the connector, so every component works in harmony with the next.
Many custom programmes begin as a standard model
