This the genuine replacement 6/9 "Y" cable for the Nexiq USB Link 2. It does have the "green" connector on the end of it, which makes it model year 2016 & newer compliant. This cable is about 2' long. You will not find any "cheap" alternatives for this cable, as Nexiq has now included security/authentication chips in the cables themselves. Purchase of this item will now include a free 30 day subscription to Diesel Repair.
