Application prospects of J1939 to J1708 cable

The J1939 to J1708 cable still has certain application prospects in some specific fields, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Upgrading and retrofitting of commercial vehicles and heavy machinery: Although the J1939 protocol has been widely used in the field of commercial vehicles and heavy machinery, there are still a large number of old devices that adopt the J1708 protocol. When renovating and upgrading these devices, or integrating them with new J1939 devices, J1939 to J1708 cables can achieve communication between old and new devices, protecting users' investment in existing equipment and avoiding the elimination of a large number of old devices that can still be used due to different protocols.

After sales market and maintenance services: In the after-sales market of automobiles, engineering machinery, etc., maintenance personnel may need to connect diagnostic equipment with different protocols to the ECU of the vehicle or machinery for fault diagnosis and debugging. The J1939 to J1708 cable can make new diagnostic equipment using J1939 protocol compatible with old models or devices using J1708 protocol, improve maintenance efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs.

Hybrid systems in specific industrial fields: In some industrial scenarios, there are multiple devices from different periods and brands that may use different communication protocols. For example, in places such as mines and ports, there are both newer transport vehicles and loading and unloading equipment based on the J1939 protocol, as well as some early equipment that uses the J1708 protocol. The J1939 to J1708 cable can be used to connect devices with different protocols, enabling data exchange and collaborative work of the entire system, which helps to improve the automation level and overall efficiency of industrial production.
