CAN Cable DTM4 to Circular Connector - 1200mm Suits TCA-8 Length: 1.2M

Overview

Purpose-built CAN cable connecting your TCA-8 thermocouple amplifier to Haltech ECUs with circular CAN connectors. Essential for EGT monitoring setups where the TCA-8 needs positioning away from the ECU — common in turbocharged builds where amplifier placement requires strategic cable routing.

Technical Specifications

• Part Number: HT-130044
• Cable Length: 1200mm (1.2 metres)
• Connector Type: DTM4 to circular CAN connector
• Application: TCA-8 Eight Channel Thermocouple Amplifier
• Protocol: CAN bus communication

Why You Need This

The TCA-8 thermocouple amplifier is critical for monitoring exhaust gas temperatures across multiple cylinders, but placement flexibility matters in real builds. In turbo conversions on platforms like RB25/26 swaps or 2JZ builds, you often need the TCA-8 mounted away from the ECU due to heat considerations or packaging constraints. The standard connection won't reach, and bodging CAN extensions creates reliability issues that'll leave you chasing intermittent faults.

This factory cable solves the problem properly — maintaining CAN bus signal integrity while giving you the 1.2-metre reach needed for clean installations. We see this constantly in LS swap projects where the ECU lives in the cabin but the TCA-8 needs firewall mounting, or in track builds where amplifier placement away from engine bay heat improves longevity. Don't compromise your EGT monitoring with generic extensions — thermal management data is too critical for guesswork.
