A FAKRA cable is a specialized automotive RF (radiofrequency) coaxial cable assembly consisting of a FAKRA connector paired with a coaxial cable (such as RG174, RG58, 1.5D, etc.).
Its main purpose is to transmit highfrequency signals with stability, low loss, and high reliability in automotive environments.

Common Applications of FAKRA Cables
FAKRA cables are widely used in vehicles for any component that requires RF signal transmission, including:
GPS antennas
BeiDou antennas
4G/5G communication modules
WiFi and Bluetooth antennas
ADAS cameras
Automotive radar (24 GHz / 77 GHz)
Signal links between the head unit and external antennas
Key Features of FAKRA Cables
Supports highfrequency transmission up to 6 GHz
Automotivegrade locking system for secure connections
Colorcoded keying to prevent mismatching or incorrect mating
Designed for harsh environments such as vibration, humidity, and temperature changes
Low signal loss, ensuring RF performance and connection stability
What a FAKRA Cable Is Made Of
1. FAKRA Connectors
Available in multiple key codes (A, B, C… Z), each with distinct colors and coding
Different key codes correspond to specific applications (e.g., blue for GPS, purple for AM/FM)
2. Coaxial Cable
Common types include RG174, 1.13, 1.37, RG316, 1.5D2V
Selected based on required impedance, attenuation, and flexibility
