Product Description
The Bendix 801872 RDU 9-Pin to 6-Pin ABS Diagnostic Adapter Cable is a genuine Bendix diagnostic accessory designed to connect a compatible Bendix Remote Diagnostic Unit (RDU) to commercial vehicles equipped with a 6-pin J1587 diagnostic connector. This adapter allows technicians to use their existing 9-pin Bendix RDU diagnostic tool when servicing vehicles with an older 6-pin diagnostic interface.
The cable provides the necessary connection between the vehicle's diagnostic port and the Bendix RDU, allowing the diagnostic unit to communicate with compatible Bendix anti-lock braking system (ABS) electronic control units. Once connected, the RDU can help technicians identify ABS component faults, troubleshoot braking system problems, and perform supported diagnostic reset procedures.
Designed for commercial truck repair shops, fleet maintenance operations, and professional service technicians, the 801872 provides a convenient solution for servicing vehicles equipped with different diagnostic connector configurations.

The Bendix 801872 is especially useful for technicians who service multiple generations of commercial vehicles. Instead of requiring a separate diagnostic tool for vehicles with 6-pin diagnostic ports, this adapter allows a compatible Bendix RDU to connect through the vehicle's existing diagnostic interface.
The adapter works with Bendix RDU diagnostic units, including compatible versions of K101596 and K101596N001. It is also associated with Bendix RDU diagnostic tool packages such as K101598N001.
Before ordering, verify that the vehicle uses a 6-pin J1587 diagnostic connector and that the diagnostic tool is compatible with the vehicle's ABS controller. This cable is an adapter only and does not function as a standalone fault code reader or universal diagnostic interface.
Bendix confirms part number 801872 as the J1587 6-pin adapter cable for its RDU diagnostic tools.
