Imp antenna cable

This antenna cable with FAKRA Z to SMA connection is designed for connecting RF components within radio, antenna, and communication installations. The cable is used to connect equipment with a FAKRA connector to equipment or antennas that use an SMA connector. The cable has a FAKRA Z jack (female) on one side and an SMA jack bulkhead (female) on the other side. The SMA connection is designed as a bulkhead connector, making it suitable for mounting through a panel or housing. The FAKRA connector is implemented in the FAKRA Z color coding (water blue) according to the standard FAKRA types. The cable is made with RG-174 coaxial cable, a thin and flexible coaxial cable suitable for RF signals. The cable has a diameter of approximately 2.9 mm and a black jacket. Due to its small minimum bend radius, the cable can be used in compact installations. Specifications • Product type Antenna cable • Brand Delock • Connection 1 FAKRA Z jack (female) • Connection 2 SMA jack bulkhead (female) • FAKRA type Z (water blue) • Impedance 50 ohm • Cable type RG-174 • Cable diameter approx. 2.9 mm • Cable color Black • Cable attenuation 1.5 dB @ 1.5 GHz per meter • Minimum bend radius 10.5 mm • Cable length 20 cm (incl. connectors) Explanation of terms used RG-174 RG-174 is a thin coaxial cable with flexible insulation and braided shielding. This cable is used for RF signals in antenna and communication systems where a compact cable is needed. SMA SMA stands for SubMiniature version A and is a screw-on coaxial connector for radio frequency connections. SMA connectors are used in RF equipment, antennas, test equipment, and wireless communication systems. FAKRA Z FAKRA Z is a variant of the FAKRA coaxial connector with a water blue color coding. This connector is often used as a universal or aftermarket RF connection in vehicles and antenna systems. The mechanical key ensures that the connector can only be connected to compatible FAKRA connections. FAKRA FAKRA connectors are coaxial RF connectors used for radio frequency connections. The connector is based on the SMB coaxial standard but has a plastic housing with mechanical and color coding. This prevents different connectors from being accidentally connected to each other. FAKRA connectors typically operate with an impedance of 50 ohm and support frequencies up to several GHz. They are used in antenna and communication systems such as GPS, radio, LTE, and 5G antennas. FAKRA types • FAKRA A – black – universal RF connection / radio • FAKRA B – white – GSM / telematics • FAKRA C – blue – GPS antenna • FAKRA D – burgundy / purple – satellite radio • FAKRA E – green – GSM / LTE • FAKRA F – brown – mobile communication • FAKRA G – grey – radio / RF signal • FAKRA H – violet – video / camera systems • FAKRA I – beige – radio antenna • FAKRA K – yellowish brown – RF communication • FAKRA L – blue-green – telematics • FAKRA M – orange – digital radio / DAB • FAKRA Z – water blue – universal aftermarket connection Mechanical designs In addition to color coding, FAKRA connectors also exist in various mechanical designs. • FAKRA plug (male) – cable connector with central pin • FAKRA jack (female) – connector with central socket • FAKRA panel mount – mounting in a device or chassis • FAKRA PCB – mounting directly on a circuit board The combination of color coding and mechanical key positions ensures that different RF systems, such as GPS, radio, and mobile communication, cannot be interchanged. This ensures a reliable connection in installations where multiple antenna systems are used side by side. Ask a product question
