The Canalyst II is an affordable, well-built piece of very Chinese equipment, exposing two [[CAN bus]] transceivers to a USB CAN adapter capable of 7k fps, and megabit CAN networks. There is very little English documentation. It appears as USB VendorID 04d8, ProductID 0053 (04d8:0053), the space of [https://www.microchip.com/ Microchip Technology, Inc.]. Both channels come equipped with independently-selectable 120Ω resistors necessary for ISO 11898-2 High-Speed CAN buses (such a resistor should not be used with ISO 11898-3 Reliable CAN buses). Note that the manual refers to ohms as "euros", which is pretty indicative of its quality overall~~. It also offers baud rate detection functionality~~.

I suspect there to be a 16MHz [https://www.nxp.com/products/analog/interfaces/in-vehicle-network/can-transceiver-and-controllers/stand-alone-can-controller:SJA1000T SJA1000] chip inside, but have not verified this.
