Addendum A – Power/Data Cable Options
The Nero 66xx is supplied with a cable to connect the device to the vehicle data port. Different vehicles support different types
of data ports. Please be sure to specify the appropriate cable that matches your vehicle port. The following chart describes the
port configurations that are supported.
Vehicle Port
J1939 Deutsch Type-1 (9-pin – black)
This is the most commonly available
J1939 port at present.
J1939 Deutsch Type-2 (9-pin – green)
This port supports the higher bus speed
found on certain modern vehicles (model
year 2014 or later).

J1939 Type-1 Y-Cable
A Y-cable is available for vehicles with a Type-1 J1939 port. The Y-cable splits the
J1939 connector into two parts, as shown in the image below.
A typical installation involves the removal of the port from the vehicle dashboard,
replacing it with the port-end of the Y-cable, and plugging the J1939 connector
end of the Y-cable into the original vehical port behind the dashboard.
In this manner the 66xx and all cabling may be installed behind the dashboard,
leaving the visible J1939 port free for use with other diagnostic equipment as
required.
J1939 Type-2 Y-Cable
A Y-cable is available for connecting the 66xx to vehicles supporting this port type.
Type-2 (green) connectors are designed to be backwards compatible and may be
used in vehicles with a Type-1 (black) port.
This is not recommended, however, as other Type-1 (black) devices will not plug
in to the Type-2 (green) port on the cable, and there may be confusion caused as to
whether the vehicle bus is actually Type-1 or Type-2.
