What Are FAKRA Cable Assemblies?
FAKRA cable assemblies are specialized RF (radio frequency) cable assemblies that utilize FAKRA connectors — industry-standard automotive connectors developed to meet rigorous mechanical and environmental requirements. The term FAKRA stands for Fachkreis Automobil (Automobile Expert Group), reflecting its automotive-centric design focus.
These assemblies consist of coaxial cables terminated with FAKRA connectors, which are color-coded and keyed to prevent mismating. They support frequencies from DC up to 6 GHz, making them ideal for transmitting GPS, LTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and other high-frequency signals within vehicles.
