CAN Crossover Cable
Most of Autosport Labs devices are wired to CAN Channel 1. This can be a problem if you want to integrate 2 or more CAN systems that run at a different baud rate, or if they interfere with each other. For example AIM CAN bus baud rate is 1M and OBDII baud rate is 500k. Problem is the stock ASL AIM to RCP cable is wired to CAN 1 and the ASL OBDII cable is also wired to CAN 1. These two devices cannot be on the same CAN channel because they use different baud rates. You can easily build an RJ45 CAN Crossover cable to swap the CAN 1 and CAN 2 channel wiring for that device. You can either permanently modify one of the device's RJ45 cable, or create a CAN Crossover cable adapter.
You will need:
- RJ45 Crimping tool
- CAT5E (or CAT6) terminal ends
- CAT5E extension cable (if making a crossover cable adapter)
Most ethernet cables (including the ASL cables) are wired in T-568B which is
- Pin1: Orange/White
- Pin2: Orange
- Pin3: Green/White
- Pin4: Blue
- Pin5: Blue/White
- Pin6: Green
- Pin7: Brown/White
- Pin8: Brown
ASL Cables are wired the following:
- Pin1 (Orange/White): GND
- Pin2 (Orange): CAN1 High
- Pin3 (Green/White): CAN1Low
- Pin4 (Blue): CAN2 High
- Pin5 (Blue/White): CAN2 Low
- Pin6 (Green): N/C
- Pin7: (Brown/White): N/C
- Pin8: (Brown): 12v
So you can see that all we need to do is swap the wires for Pin 4 (Blue) and Pin 5 (Blue/White) with Pin2 (Orange) and Pin3 (Green/White) respectively on one of the RJ45 ends.
Our new CAN Crossover end will be wired:
- Pin1 (Orange/White): GND
- Pin2 (Blue): CAN2 High
- Pin3 (Blue/White): CAN2 Low
- Pin4 (Orange): CAN1 High
- Pin5 (Green/White): CAN1Low
- Pin6 (Green): N/C
- Pin7: (Brown/White): N/C
- Pin8: (Brown): 12v
You can either cut off the RJ45 end on the stock ASL cable and modify it. Or you can buy an ethernet extension cable and cut the male end off that and modify it to make an adapter that the stock ASL cable will plug into.
Please see these directions for actually and crimping the RJ45 end onto the CAT 5 cable. You will just be using the crossover wiring order instead of the T-568B wiring order.
NOTE: Only one of the RJ45 ends needs to be switched. to the CAN Crossover wiring. Also when inserting the wires into the terminal, the locking mechanism should be facing down. You should be looking at the metal pins.
