Make your setup seamless with our new plug-and-play adapter cables and connectors, designed to bridge your current hardware with SystemCore while keeping your wiring cleaner than ever.

Key Highlights
- Built for the New SystemCore: 6-inch adapters feature a 2-pin Molex SL connector on one end to plug directly into the SystemCore CAN bus, and a 3-pin Molex SL on the other for your existing CTRE Molex lines.
- Color-Code Your New Bus: Featuring 8 distinct CANH wire colors (yellow, white, grey, brown, pink, blue, purple, and orange), making it easy to trace individual lines.
- .1” Connector Compatibility: Use our optional 2-pin Molex SL to 0.1” pin header connectors to hook up classic CTRE compatible CAN products and select third-party hardware.
- Extend the System: Pair these adapters and connectors with our 100ft spools of colored CAN wire to keep your entire bus organized across your whole robot build.
- Pro Tip: Don’t wait until build season crunch time to figure out your wiring harnesses. Get ahead of the SystemCore transition early!
