Overview Purpose-built CAN communication cable connecting Haltech Elite ECUs to auxiliary devices via clean, motorsport-grade DTM-4 to 8-pin Tyco connections. Essential for integrating wideband controllers, digital dashes, and expansion modules in professional engine management systems where reliable data transmission is critical. Technical Specifications Part Number: HT-130032 Length: 300mm (12") Connector A: DTM-4 pin male Connector B: 8-pin Black Tyco female Application: CAN bus communication Wire Gauge: Motorsport specification twisted pair Why You Need This CAN bus communication is the backbone of modern engine management systems, but many builders underestimate how critical proper cabling is until they're chasing intermittent faults. Standard automotive wiring simply isn't designed for the high-frequency digital signals that ECUs use to communicate with auxiliary devices. This purpose-built cable eliminates the common issues we see with bodged connections — data dropouts, error codes, and unreliable sensor readings that plague poorly executed CAN networks. The DTM-4 connection is Haltech's standard for CAN distribution, whilst the 8-pin Tyco end connects directly to devices like WB1/WB2 wideband controllers, aftermarket digital dashboards, and expansion modules. In high-vibration motorsport applications or cramped engine bay installations, the 300mm length provides sufficient reach without excess cable that can create interference or mechanical stress points. We've used these extensively in everything from track-focused Evo builds to professional drift cars where clean data transmission can make the difference between a perfect tune and persistent gremlins. ECU & System Compatibility Designed specifically for Haltech Elite series ECUs including Elite 550, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 models. Also compatible with Nexus R3 and R5 platforms where CAN expansion is required. The DTM-4 interface is Haltech's standard CAN distribution format across their professional ECU range. What's in the Box 1x Haltech Elite CAN Cable DTM-4 to 8-pin Black Tyco (300mm) Technical documentation and pinout reference Complete Your Build Most customers building comprehensive engine management systems also require CAN termination resistors and additional distribution cables for multiple devices. Consider pairing with Haltech wideband controllers or digital dash interfaces that utilise the 8-pin Tyco connection. Our technical team can specify the complete CAN network architecture for your build, ensuring proper termination and signal integrity. With UK stock and same-day despatch, we'll have your CAN infrastructure sorted without the usual delays from overseas suppliers.
