Banks OBD-II Splitter Cable — Universal 16‑Pin Dual Port Adapter, Shielded Molded Connector

The Banks Power Universal OBD-II Splitter Cable lets you plug two OBD-II devices into one vehicle port at the same time for diagnostics, tuning, and monitoring.

The Banks Power Universal OBD-II Splitter Cable is a compact, easy-to-install adapter designed to expand a single vehicle OBD-II port into two fully accessible connections. Built for technicians, tuners, and DIY enthusiasts, this splitter simplifies workflow by eliminating repeated plug-and-play swaps between a scan tool, data logger, tuner, or live display. It preserves signal continuity while keeping both devices powered and communicating with the vehicle’s diagnostics system.

How does the splitter maintain reliable communication between two devices?

The Banks Power splitter routes the OBD-II pins to two outputs without altering standard signal lines, so both devices can receive power and data. It’s engineered to minimize interference and maintain the vehicle’s diagnostic integrity during simultaneous use.

• Direct pin mapping to preserve CAN, K-Line, and power connections
• Shielded construction to reduce electrical noise
• Solid molded connectors for consistent contact and low resistance

Will it fit my vehicle and the tools I use?

This is a universal OBD-II splitter, compatible with any standard 16-pin OBD-II port found on most cars and light trucks from 1996 onward. It works with common scan tools, performance tuners, and telematics or data-logging devices that require a standard OBD-II connection.

• Fits all standard 16-pin OBD-II sockets
• Compatible with scanners, tuners, code readers, and data loggers
• Suitable for both ISO and SAE protocol vehicles using the OBD-II standard

How durable and portable is the splitter for shop and field use?

The Banks Power splitter is built for repeated connections and workshop environments while still being compact enough for field technicians. Its molded housing and robust connectors resist wear from frequent plugging and unplugging.

• Rugged molded body to withstand daily use and handling
• Flexible cable length for easy routing under dash panels
• Compact footprint keeps dash area tidy during diagnostics

Can I use both ports at once without damaging my vehicle or tools?

Using both ports simultaneously is safe when connected to devices designed for OBD-II operation; the splitter does not introduce voltage beyond normal OBD-II specifications. As always, follow each tool manufacturer’s guidance for concurrent connections and heavy data transfer tasks.

• Pass-through design that preserves factory electrical limits
• Recommended for diagnostic and monitoring tasks that do not demand exclusive access
• Check device manuals for any limitations on simultaneous connections

Who is this for: The Banks Power Universal OBD-II Splitter Cable is ideal for automotive technicians, performance tuners, fleet managers, and enthusiasts who need to run a scanner or data logger alongside a tuner or telematics device without constantly swapping cables. It streamlines diagnostics, reduces setup time, and keeps your tools connected and ready during testing, tuning, and troubleshooting sessions.
