What Is a FAKRA Cable?

　　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
