RG174LL Single Straight Fakra Male to Female Car FM/AM Radio Antenna Extension Cable – High-Performance Signal Booster for Automotive Audio Systems This premium RG174LL coaxial extension cable is engineered specifically for enhancing FM and AM radio signal integrity in modern vehicle audio setups. Designed with a straight, in-line configuration, it bridges the gap between your car’s antenna and receiver without compromising performance—ideal for both factory-installed systems and aftermarket upgrades. The use of low-loss RG174LL cable ensures minimal signal attenuation over extended distances, making it perfect for vehicles where antenna placement or routing presents challenges. Key Features: Engineered for optimal compatibility, this Fakra male-to-female connector cable offers 50 ohm impedance for consistent RF transmission across standard broadcast frequencies. Its robust construction includes color-coded plastic housing with mechanical keying that prevents incorrect mating—a crucial detail often overlooked in budget cables. Each connector undergoes rigorous testing to exceed 100 mating cycles, ensuring long-term reliability even under frequent handling or vibration conditions typical in automotive environments. Shielding performance meets industry standards for electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression, reducing noise and boosting clarity in weak signal areas. The cable itself is made from high-purity copper conductors wrapped in a precision-tuned dielectric material, which significantly reduces signal degradation compared to generic alternatives. Unlike cheaper alternatives using thinner gauge wires or poor shielding, this solution maintains stable signal strength regardless of length, allowing users to customize installation based on their specific needs—from relocating antennas for better reception to integrating new infotainment units seamlessly into existing dashboards. Ideal Applications: Whether you're upgrading an older model's radio system, installing a digital head unit, or moving your antenna outside the cabin for improved signal capture, this extension cable serves as a reliable intermediary. It supports applications such as connecting aftermarket antennas to OEM receivers, extending range in rural or urban signal-deprived zones, and enabling flexible mounting options for enhanced antenna positioning. Perfect for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike, the plug-and-play design eliminates complex wiring tasks while delivering professional-grade results. User Benefits: Users consistently report clearer sound quality, stronger station reception, and fewer dropouts after installing this cable—especially when replacing damaged or inadequate factory leads. Its durability makes it suitable for daily driving conditions, including extreme temperatures, moisture exposure, and road vibrations. Compared to other connectors like Mini Fakra or HSD variants, this version offers superior balance between cost-efficiency and technical excellence, particularly in mid-range to high-end vehicle installations. Common Questions: Is this cable compatible with all car radios? Yes—it works with any FM/AM radio system using Fakra connectors, including many European, Asian, and North American models. Can I cut or extend it myself? While possible, we recommend maintaining original length for best signal performance unless you have RF expertise and proper tools for termination. Does it support GPS or Bluetooth signals? No—it’s optimized solely for FM/AM frequency bands, not data transmission protocols like Bluetooth or satellite navigation. Why choose RG174LL over regular coaxial cable? Because it uses low-loss materials designed for RF applications, it minimizes attenuation at higher frequencies and performs reliably even at longer runs—something standard cables fail to deliver. For those seeking a durable, high-performance solution for car antenna extension, this Fakra-to-Fakra cable delivers unmatched value through intelligent engineering, precise manufacturing, and real-world usability.
