CATERPILLAR® DIAGNOSTIC CABLE & HARNESS

LISTING

Caterpillar Service Technology Group offers many products that use cabling to connect Cat®
machines and engines to diagnostic devices, as well as other types of connections. It was
requested we provide a listing of Caterpillar diagnostic cables and harnesses for use as a
reference, and that is the purpose of this IRM. Of course, a list such as this will change over
time, and it cannot possibly include every kind of cable or harness that exists. But this list
represents our most standard cabling products, showing Cat part numbers and brief descriptions.
We hope this is useful for you.
