What are the characteristics of FAKRA coaxial cables compared to other cables

Compared to other cables, FAKRA coaxial cables have the following characteristics:

Excellent high-frequency performance: The micro coaxial cable (MCA) in FAKRA coaxial cable has excellent high-frequency performance. This makes it particularly suitable for high-speed connectors such as cameras and antennas in autonomous driving, cellular connectivity, and other wireless communication systems used in modern vehicles.

Good shielding performance: It is usually composed of a central conductor, insulation layer, aluminum foil, braided shielding layer, and wire sheath from inside to outside. This structure can effectively shield external electromagnetic interference, while preventing the magnetic field generated by internal signals from interfering with the outside world, ensuring the stability and accuracy of signal transmission, and is suitable for use in complex electromagnetic environments such as automobiles.

Reliable connection performance: FAKRA connectors have a unique standard locking system, equipped with primary and secondary locking devices, which can ensure stable connections, withstand certain vibrations and impacts, prevent loose connections due to vehicle bumps during driving, and ensure the reliability of signal transmission.

Standardization and Compatibility: FAKRA is a global connector standard with a standardized color coding system. Different colors correspond to different functions or interface types, making it easy to identify and distinguish during installation and maintenance, reducing the risk of misconnection, and facilitating compatibility and interchangeability in different automotive electronic devices.

Miniaturization and lightweighting: With the increasing integration of automotive electronic devices, the requirements for cable space occupation and weight are becoming more and more stringent. Compared to traditional coaxial connectors, MCA in FAKRA coaxial cables has thinner and lighter cables, which helps reduce vehicle weight and optimize interior wiring space.

Strong durability: it can work in extreme temperature environment, has good weather resistance and anti-aging performance, can adapt to the use requirements of vehicles in various environmental conditions, and ensure long-term stable signal transmission.

Compared with twisted pair cables, FAKRA coaxial cables perform better in anti-interference performance and high-frequency signal transmission; Compared with fiber optic cables, FAKRA coaxial cables have lower costs, are easier to install, and can better adapt to electromagnetic interference in specific environments such as automobiles.
