Next-gen vehicle interface offers quicker transmission times

Nexiq Technologies has introduced its next-generation vehicle interface. The USB-Link 2 is five times faster than its predecessor and supports heavier bus loads on simultaneous channels, the company said.

There is also a Bluetooth module with an enhanced data rate to support wireless vehicle to PC communication. And for increased reliability, the upgraded USB connector offers a more robust automotive-grade connector with a latching mechanism.

The USB-Link 2 supports virtually all heavy duty protocols, Nexiq said.
