Umm, no actually, CAN is backwards. This was my #1 complaint about CAN. You cannot buy off the self cables. You have to make them. This is very error prone. We spent several weeks debugging CAN because we kept getting something wrong in the cabling. Once the cables were right it seemed to work fine.
