Description

Kvaser U100 – Rugged USB-to-CAN & CAN FD Interface

The Kvaser U100 is a rugged, single-channel CAN/CAN FD to USB interface, available via CanEduDev for demanding education, research, and industrial environments.

Whether you’re working on heavy-duty vehicle networks, industrial automation, marine and agricultural systems, or teaching CAN communication in high-voltage or electrically noisy lab setups, the Kvaser U100 is built to deliver reliability, safety, and performance where standard interfaces fall short.

Built for Harsh Environments. Designed for Serious CAN Work.

The Kvaser U100 combines reinforced galvanic isolation, IP67-rated protection, and a shock-, vibration-, and drop-resistant enclosure to set a new benchmark for rugged CAN interface design. Both signal and power lines are isolated, providing enhanced protection for your PC and test equipment in high-energy systems.

An intelligent LED interface provides instant feedback on bus load and error frames, while high-quality cabling and an innovative connector system ensure dependable connections in real-world conditions.
