It is the latest generation of the CAT Communication Adapter group, and replaces the CAT Comm Adapter II.
This is the only recommended communication device for CAT, and the only datalink device that will allow you to properly communicate with a CAT engine on dual datalinks.
This function is needed for some CAT ET (Electronic Technician) functions.

Communication:
Allows communication between service tools and engine controls using various data links such as J1939/11, DeviceNet (future release), CAT DataLink, and J1708 (ATA) vehicle networks;
Flash program allows adapter firmware upgrades as additional features become available;
Uses J1939/11, high-speed data link (part of ADEM III controls), substantially reducing flash times;
Automatically selects J1939/11 when flashing the engine (reduces the flash time approximately 80%, from 14 minutes to 3 minutes).

Package includes:
CAT Comm Adapter III
CD for installing the drivers
USB Cable (From device to your computer)
J1939/J1708 Cable (from device to your truck)
