Hi,
I know this question might not be directly related 2 a specific microcontroller. I am asking where can I buy LIN (Local Interconnect Network) cables?
Is there a hub or a multi-port connector that connects multiple slaves to the same LIN bus?

I need help as soon as possible....

Thanks 4 your time

LIN bus is just a simple series bus , so what you need is just twisted cable.Each LIN device no matter master or slave either is series connected in one network, so hubs or muti-links are not needed.

As Transcend said, you just need 3 common wires.
You need VDD which on cars would be typically 12-15V.
Vss = ground, and LIN wire.
You put everything in parallel on the same wires.
