Antenna cable

This antenna cable with FAKRA Z to FME connection is intended for connecting RF components within radio, antenna, and communication installations. The cable is used to connect equipment with a FAKRA connection to equipment or antennas that use an FME connection. The cable has a FAKRA Z plug (male) on one side and an FME plug (male) on the other side. 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-316 coaxial cable, a thin and flexible coaxial cable suitable for RF signals. The cable has a diameter of approximately 2.6 mm and a small minimum bending radius, making it suitable for installation in compact setups. Specifications • Product type Antenna cable • Brand Delock • Connection 1 FAKRA Z plug (male) • Connection 2 FME plug (male) • FAKRA type Z (water blue) • Impedance 50 ohm • Cable type RG-316 • Cable diameter approx. 2.6 mm • Cable attenuation 2 dB @ 2.4 GHz per meter • Minimum bending radius 10.5 mm • Cable length 15 cm (incl. connectors) Explanation of terms used RG-316 RG-316 is a thin coaxial cable with PTFE insulation and braided shielding. This cable is used for RF signals and antenna connections where a compact and flexible cable is needed. FME FME stands for For Mobile Equipment and is a coaxial connector widely used in antenna and communication systems such as mobile antennas, GPS installations, and RF equipment. Due to its slim connector, a cable with an FME plug can be easily routed through small openings or cable ducts. 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 coding and color coding. This prevents different connectors from being accidentally connected to each other. FAKRA connectors typically operate with an impedance of 50 ohms 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 come in different 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 printed 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 confused. This ensures a reliable connection in installations where multiple antenna systems are used simultaneously. Ask a product question
