Mini Fakra Cable Assembly
Product Overview
What is HFM?
HFM, or High-Speed FAKRA-Mini, is a high-speed, miniaturized connection system developed by Rosenberger, a well-known German connector manufacturer. Compared with traditional FAKRA, HFM is smaller in size and has a higher transmission rate, supporting up to 20 Gbps. It is designed to meet the high-speed data requirements of future automotive electronic architectures such as autonomous driving, high-definition cameras, 5G communications, and smart cockpits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the main difference between HFM and standard FAKRA connectors?
A1:HFM is a miniaturized high-speed FAKRA connector with a volume reduction of about 80% and a rate of up to 20Gbps, which is suitable for space-constrained automotive applications. It adopts a multi-position blind plug design and supports multi-channel high-speed signals for systems such as ADAS, cameras, and radars; standard FAKRA is used in low-speed scenarios such as GPS and antennas, and the two interfaces are incompatible.
Q2: What is the main difference between HFM and MATE-AX
A2: HFM (introduced by Rosenberger) and MATE-AX (developed by TE) are both high-speed automotive connectors for autonomous driving systems. MATE-AX is a more general miniaturized connector system, while HFM is designed for high-speed, high-frequency applications in advanced automotive systems. HFM is designed for higher speed and frequency than MATE-AX.
Q3: What is the main difference between HFM and MATEnet?
A3: HFM is suitable for point-to-point connection of high-speed coaxial signals, emphasizing high-frequency bandwidth and EMC performance; MATEnet is a differential pair structure, more suitable for Ethernet communication, emphasizing network interconnection and modular design.
