Universal Mini Fakra Female to Male Extension Cable

RG 174LL Universal 2-Pole Z Code Mini Fakra Male to Female Extension Cable for Automotive – High-Performance Signal Transmission in Demanding Environments

This premium RG 174LL universal extension cable is engineered specifically for automotive applications where reliable, high-frequency signal integrity is critical. Featuring a robust Mini Fakra Z Code male-to-female configuration, it serves as an ideal solution for extending connections between vehicle antennas and infotainment systems, GPS modules, telematics units, and other data-driven components. Designed with low-loss coaxial technology and double-shielded construction, this cable minimizes electromagnetic interference while maintaining optimal performance across extreme temperatures and mechanical stress.

The cable's core structure utilizes RG 174LL low-loss coaxial wiring—known for its exceptional signal preservation at frequencies up to 6 GHz—making it suitable for modern automotive communication networks that rely on stable RF transmission. Its impedance of precisely 50 ohms ensures efficient power transfer and reduced reflection losses, which is essential for maintaining clarity in wireless signals used by satellite navigation, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and onboard diagnostics. With a temperature tolerance ranging from -40°C to +85°C, the cable performs consistently under harsh conditions found in engine compartments, dashboards, and undercarriage installations.

Key features include a durable PVC or polyethylene outer jacket that resists oil, moisture, UV exposure, and abrasion—ideal for long-term use in vehicles subjected to constant vibration, thermal cycling, and environmental challenges. The plug-and-play design allows for quick installation without tools, while the compact Mini Fakra Z Code connectors provide secure locking mechanisms and precise alignment, reducing the risk of disconnection during operation. Available in multiple standard lengths—with custom options available—it enables flexible routing for antenna placement in tight or complex spaces such as roof rails, rear glass, or trunk areas.

Engineered for compatibility with a wide range of OEM and aftermarket automotive electronics, this extension cable supports seamless integration into various platforms including European, Asian, and North American vehicle models. Whether you're enhancing GPS reception, improving FM/AM radio quality, or integrating a new telematics device, this solution offers a cost-effective upgrade path that doesn’t compromise on reliability or performance.

Common applications span automotive infotainment upgrades, remote keyless entry systems, tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), camera-based parking assist setups, and vehicle tracking devices. It also serves well in industrial and commercial vehicle environments where consistent connectivity is vital for operational safety and efficiency.

Users report significant improvements in signal strength and system responsiveness after installing this cable, particularly when replacing older or poorly shielded alternatives. Many appreciate its ease of installation and ability to maintain clean signal paths even in vehicles with limited internal space. The rugged build and professional-grade materials make it a trusted choice among mechanics, installers, and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Frequently asked questions often center around compatibility—this cable works reliably with most Mini Fakra Z Code-equipped systems, including those from Bosch, Hella, Delphi, and Continental. Another common query involves length selection: shorter cables reduce signal loss further, but longer versions (up to several meters) remain effective due to the low-loss characteristics of RG 174LL. For best results, always ensure proper connector mating and avoid sharp bends or excessive tension during installation.
