The use of RG174 cable—known for its flexibility and excellent attenuation characteristics—makes it ideal for routing signals through complex interior layouts without compromising signal strength. Each connector features precision-molded Fakra Z keying that prevents incorrect insertion while guaranteeing secure mechanical engagement. With a frequency range extending from DC to 6 GHz, this cable supports not only traditional satellite navigation but also advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), cellular data modules, and wireless communication platforms used in modern smart vehicles. Its waterproof-rated options (IP67) and angled variants are available upon request for enhanced durability in harsh weather conditions or confined areas. Applications: Ideal for extending GPS antenna connections in cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles; routing AM/FM antenna signals to remote locations for better reception; integrating with telematics control units (TCUs) in fleet management systems; and serving as a reliable link in vehicle tracking devices, emergency call systems (eCall), and OBD-II diagnostic tools. Compatible with universal Fakra Z interfaces found in European, Asian, and North American automotive electronics, making it a versatile choice for global markets. User Reviews: Users praise this cable for its plug-and-play simplicity and consistent signal clarity, especially when installing aftermarket head units or relocating GPS antennas to roof-mounted positions. Many highlight the flexibility of RG174 over rigid alternatives, which allows easier routing around steering columns, pedals, or airbags. Installers often note the durability of the connectors after repeated use, confirming suitability for professional installations where longevity matters most. Frequently Asked Questions: What makes this cable different from standard antenna extensions? It uses RG174 coaxial cable with superior shielding and impedance consistency, reducing signal degradation over longer runs compared to cheaper alternatives. Is it suitable for outdoor installations? Yes—with optional IP67 waterproof versions available—it can withstand moisture, dust, and temperature extremes commonly encountered in automotive environments. Can I use it with non-Fakra antennas? Only if the receiving device has a compatible Fakra Z interface. Always verify connector type before purchase to ensure compatibility. Does it support LTE or 5G signals? While primarily designed for GPS and FM bands, its wide bandwidth (up to 6 GHz) allows it to handle many modern wireless protocols including LTE, Wi-Fi, and some 5G sub-6GHz frequencies depending on the system configuration. For those seeking a durable, high-performance extension cable tailored for automotive electronics, this Fakra Z Code Male to Male coaxial cable stands out as a trusted component in vehicle upgrade projects worldwide.
