Fakra Female to Female GPS Antenna Cable Assembly – High-Performance RF Interconnect for Automotive and Industrial Applications This precision-engineered Fakra Female to Female GPS antenna cable assembly delivers exceptional signal integrity in demanding environments. Designed specifically for GPS, navigation, telematics, and wireless communication systems, it ensures seamless connectivity between Fakra-compatible devices and external antennas. Whether deployed in automotive infotainment systems, fleet tracking units, or industrial IoT setups, this robust solution maintains consistent performance under harsh conditions while minimizing signal degradation. Key Features: Engineered with two female Fakra connectors, this cable enables direct coupling between GPS modules and antennas without the need for adapters. The core is constructed from low-loss RG174 or equivalent coaxial cable—ideal for high-frequency applications such as 1.5 GHz GPS signals. With customizable lengths ranging from 0.5 meters to 3 meters, users can optimize routing for tight spaces or extended installations. Available options include alternative cables like RG316, RG58, DACAR302, RTK031, and LMR195, each tailored to specific impedance, flexibility, and attenuation requirements. Additionally, color-coded Fakra connectors (e.g., red for GPS, blue for radio, black for video) support easy identification during installation, reducing errors and improving system reliability. Detailed Description: The assembly combines durability with electrical efficiency. Its weather-resistant jacket protects against moisture, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations—making it ideal for outdoor and vehicular use. Each connector undergoes rigorous testing for mechanical stability, ensuring secure mating even in vibration-prone environments. The internal conductor uses tinned copper for superior conductivity, while the dielectric material minimizes signal loss over distance. This makes the cable particularly effective in long-range satellite positioning systems where signal strength directly impacts accuracy. Customization extends beyond length and color: additional shielding, strain relief boots, and specialized terminations are available upon request to meet unique engineering specifications. Use Cases: Ideal for OEMs integrating GPS functionality into vehicles, drones, marine equipment, or smart city infrastructure. Common applications include vehicle tracking systems, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), agricultural machinery guidance, and remote monitoring solutions. It supports both standard GPS bands (L1, L2) and dual-frequency receivers, making it suitable for professional-grade GNSS applications requiring centimeter-level precision. Customer Feedback: Users praise its plug-and-play simplicity, noting how the color-coded design reduces setup time significantly compared to generic cables. Many highlight improved signal reception in challenging terrain—such as urban canyons or forested areas—where traditional cables suffer from multipath interference or poor gain. Long-term durability has also been validated through real-world deployments in commercial fleets and public transportation networks. Frequently Asked Questions: What makes this Fakra cable different from standard jumper wires? Unlike basic connectors, this assembly integrates a purpose-built coaxial line designed for RF frequencies, offering minimal insertion loss and excellent return loss characteristics. Can I get custom lengths or colors? Yes, we offer full customization based on your project’s needs—including special color codes for multi-system installations or unique cable types for enhanced shielding. Is it suitable for outdoor use? Absolutely. The UV-stable jacket and sealed connectors provide IP67-level protection, allowing reliable operation in extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C). Why choose RG174 over other cables? RG174 offers an optimal balance of flexibility, low attenuation, and cost-effectiveness for short-to-medium runs up to 3 meters—a common requirement in modern automotive and embedded systems. This Fakra Female to Female GPS Antenna Cable Assembly represents a premium choice for engineers seeking dependable RF interconnection solutions across global markets. By combining proven materials, precise manufacturing, and flexible customization, it empowers developers to build resilient, high-performance systems that deliver accurate location data in any environment.
