Wondered if you had plans to sell a BNC extension cable, but with a female to male end.
The reason I ask is because I frequently have issues with cable length when performing CAN bus wakeup measurements. I don't want to extend the regular test leads as this will give too much capacitance in the line and affect serial decoding. However I would like to extend the current clamp cable with a female to male BNC cable.
Nearly always when I perform these measurements the battery is in the trunk and the CAN connectors are in the front footwells and the cable length isn't sufficient.
If you can put it up for sale I will gladly purchase it from you
Hello,
Here you will find some answers,I think I attached some measurements of capacitance/meter of different types of cables topic21591.html?&p=98078#p98078
Use the shortest cable what you have to make a good CAN capture,TA130 is good for pressure sensors ,not for CAN FD or Flexray measurements .Maybe tomorrow I will measure the capacitance of TA130
Best regards

Thanks Kev,
Anyway,here you can find the capacitance of different cables if you need to make the right choose http://www.rfcafe.com/references/electr ... -chart.htm
but according to my measurements a twisted pair of wires(even if will have 3-5 meters) and a male BNC plug is good for use for CAN measurements.Today I measured my TA130-500 pF
Best regards
