Use of Fakra and Mini Fakra in GMSL2 and FPD-Link III Cameras

2025-05-26
 

1. Fakra and Mini Fakra Connectors Overview

  • Fakra connectors are standardized RF connectors used in automotive applications, especially for high-frequency data transmission like camera systems, antennas, and sensors. They offer secure locking, color coding, and mechanical keying to prevent mismatching.

  • Mini Fakra is a newer, smaller version of the standard Fakra Connector, offering the same electrical performance but in a much more compact form, which helps reduce the size and weight of wiring harnesses in vehicles.

2. GMSL2 Cameras

  • GMSL2 (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link version 2) is a high-speed serializer/deserializer (SerDes) interface from Analog Devices, designed for real-time video transmission in vehicles.

  • Use of Fakra in GMSL2:

    • Traditional GMSL2 camera systems often use standard Fakra connectors, especially in early implementations.

    • Fakra ensures secure, shielded, and low-loss connections necessary for high-speed data links over coaxial cables.

  • Use of Mini Fakra in GMSL2:

    • As OEMs demand smaller, lighter systems, Mini Fakra connectors are increasingly adopted in GMSL2 camera systems.

    • Mini Fakra supports the same high data rates (up to 6 Gbps per channel) required by GMSL2 while enabling compact camera module designs and cable routing.

If you're designing or integrating a camera system using GMSL2 or FPD-Link III, the choice between Fakra and Mini Fakra will depend on your size constraints, cable routing needs, and long-term design goals for vehicle architecture.
