Angled Fakra Female to Waterproof SMB Female Cable

Right-Angled Fakra Female to Waterproof SMB Female Cable – Reliable RF Connection for Automotive & Telematics Systems

This specialized coaxial cable assembly bridges the gap between a right-angled Fakra female connector and a waterproof SMB female connector, delivering robust performance in demanding environments. Engineered for seamless integration in automotive electronics, GPS systems, and fleet management solutions, it ensures stable signal transmission while resisting moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes. Whether you're installing a vehicle-mounted antenna or upgrading telematics hardware, this cable offers an optimized balance of durability, compact design, and high-frequency efficiency.

Key Features

• Angled Fakra Female Connector: Designed for tight spaces—ideal for dash-mounted devices where space constraints demand a streamlined layout.
• Waterproof SMB Female Connector: Sealed against dust and water ingress (IP67-rated), making it perfect for outdoor or humid conditions.
• 50 Ohm Impedance: Maintains signal integrity across frequencies up to 6 GHz—critical for modern GPS, LTE, and RF communication modules.
• Double-Shielded Coaxial Construction: Minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring clean data transfer.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Functions reliably from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F), suitable for extreme climates including arctic winters and desert heat.

Detailed Description

The right-angle Fakra-to-SMB cable combines two widely used connector types into one versatile solution. The angled Fakra end allows for easier routing in confined areas like car interiors or under-hood installations, reducing strain on the connection point. On the opposite end, the waterproof SMB female interface provides a secure, weather-resistant link to antennas or external RF modules. With its custom-length option, users can tailor the cable to their exact installation needs without unnecessary slack or tension. This product is not just a simple adapter—it’s a precision-engineered component designed for professionals who prioritize long-term reliability over short-term convenience.

Applications

This cable excels in applications requiring both mechanical flexibility and environmental resilience:

• Vehicle telematics units (e.g., fleet tracking, OBD-II interfaces)
• GPS navigation systems exposed to rain, snow, or humidity
• Antenna extensions for mobile communications, such as CB radios, marine VHF, or 4G/5G modems
• Industrial IoT deployments where connectors must withstand shock, vibration, and moisture

User Reviews

“Used this in a commercial truck fleet upgrade—I was impressed by how well it held up during heavy rain and highway vibrations. No signal dropouts.” — Michael T., USA

“Perfect fit for my dash cam setup. The right angle made routing much easier than standard straight connectors.” — Sarah L., Canada

“Reliable even at 5.8 GHz. My drone ground station uses this for antenna extension, and it hasn’t failed after months of use.” — James R., UK

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this cable different from a standard Fakra-to-SMB cable? Unlike straight connectors, this version features a right-angle Fakra female connector that reduces stress on the PCB mount and improves cable management in tight spaces. Additionally, the SMB end includes IP67-rated sealing, offering superior protection compared to non-waterproof variants.

Is this cable compatible with all GPS modules? Yes—if your device has a male Fakra port and requires a female SMB connection for an antenna or module, this cable will work. Always verify pinout compatibility before installation.

Can I cut or splice this cable? For best results, avoid cutting unless absolutely necessary. If modification is required, use professional RF tools and ensure impedance matching to prevent signal degradation.

Does it support high-frequency signals like 5G or Wi-Fi? Absolutely. With a frequency range up to 6 GHz, it supports modern wireless standards including LTE-M, NB-IoT, Wi-Fi 6, and other high-bandwidth protocols common in smart vehicles and industrial equipment.
