GMSL Cable with Fakra Connectors
Product Overview
Our FAKRA Cable Assemblies are high-quality coaxial cable solutions terminated with FAKRA connectors, specifically designed for automotive and industrial RF signal transmission. Compliant with international standards such as USCAR, LV 214, and ISO 20860, these cables integrate advanced design features to ensure secure connections, minimal signal loss, and resistance to harsh operating environments. Whether for in-vehicle infotainment, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), GPS navigation, or antenna connectivity, our FAKRA cables provide a reliable solution for today’s data-driven vehicles[3].
Core Features & Benefits
Superior High-Frequency Performance: Supports frequency ranges from DC up to 6 GHz (depending on cable and connector combination) and data rates of up to 8 Gbps, ensuring seamless transmission of high-speed signals for GPS, 5G, V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything), and high-definition camera systems. The micro coaxial cable (MCA) design delivers excellent high-frequency performance, making it ideal for autonomous driving and wireless communication applications[4][5].
Exceptional Shielding Capability: Constructed with a multi-layer structure—including a central conductor, insulation layer, aluminum foil, braided shielding layer, and outer sheath—our FAKRA cables effectively block external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and prevent internal signal leakage. This ensures signal stability and accuracy even in the complex electromagnetic environment of modern vehicles.
Secure & Error-Proof Connection: Equipped with a unique color-coded, keyed, and dual-locking (primary and secondary) system, FAKRA connectors prevent misconnection and ensure a secure fit. The latching mechanism provides audible and tactile feedback when properly mated, withstanding vehicle vibrations and impacts to avoid loose connections during operation[2][5].
Automotive-Grade Durability: Built to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C, our FAKRA cables offer excellent weather resistance, anti-aging properties, and shock resistance. They are engineered to endure the harsh conditions of automotive use, including temperature fluctuations, humidity, and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term reliable performance.
Miniaturized & Lightweight Design: With the increasing integration of automotive electronic devices, our FAKRA cables feature a compact, lightweight structure that saves installation space and reduces vehicle weight. The flexible design allows for easy routing in tight spaces, optimizing in-vehicle wiring layouts.
Global Standard Compatibility: Adhering to the global FAKRA standard, our cables feature 13 mechanical and color codings (plus one neutral coding) for easy identification and compatibility across different automotive electronic devices. This standardization simplifies installation, maintenance, and replacement, reducing operational costs.
