Differences between PCM-ZC-0001 and other connection solutions
Compared with generic coaxial cables, this product is distinguished by its automotive FAKRA mechanical interface, defined 50Ω impedance design, and specified automotive-grade coaxial cable. Compared with SMA connection solutions, the FAKRA structure is better suited to automotive equipment connections that use push-in locking mechanisms.
However, signal performance cannot be determined solely by connector type. Insertion loss, return loss, shielding effectiveness, and temperature capability depend on the complete assembly design and actual test results.
What is a GMSL2 FAKRA Z Code coaxial extension cable?
The GMSL2 FAKRA Z Code coaxial extension cable is a 50Ω assembly for automotive high speed video and RF transmission. It features FAKRAZ Code male and female connectors and LEONI DACAR 302-4 coaxial cable, covering DC–6GHz.
Its shielded design, locking connectors, and flexible routing suit ADAS, automotive cameras, and GMSL2 systems, subject to interface and link compatibility verification.
Why Do Automotive High Speed Systems Need Specialized Coaxial Extension Cable?
Automotive cameras ADAS and 360° surround view systems require stable high speed data transmission Impedance matching signal loss and EMI resistance affect link performance.
The GMSL2 FAKRA Z code extension cable features a 50Ω coaxial design and locking connectors for automotive video and RF connections.
Four Key Challenges in Automotive Coaxial Connections
Signal Attenuation
Long cables and extra joints increase signal loss, risking unstable video links.
Vibration Induced Loosening
Vehicle vibration may loosen poorly secured plugs, causing sudden video dropout.
Cable Length Mismatch
Fixed cable lengths may strain connectors or leave excess slack in tight spaces.
Impedance Discontinuities
Mismatched impedance at interfaces can cause reflections and unstable data loss.
Core Product Value
PCM-ZC-0001
The core advantages of PCM-ZC-0001 can be summarized as:
◆ Improve Connection Consistency
Preassembled FAKRA Z code connectors and 50Ω coaxial cable reduce field termination work, improve assembly consistency, and simplify electrical testing and quality traceability.
◆ Support Automotive Applications
Suitable for evaluation in front and rear cameras, ADAS modules, 360° surround view systems, and GMSL2 or FPD-Link III links, subject to interface and signal-budget verification.
◆ Meet Automotive Design Needs
With DC–6GHz operation, -40°C to +105°C temperature range, and ≥110N cable retention, the assembly supports automotive design reviews; project specific testing is still required.
◆ Support Custom Cable Lengths
Available in 0.5 m / 1 m / 2 m / 5 m / 10 m lengths, the assembly can be tailored to vehicle layouts to reduce cable slack and connector strain Final lengths must meet system signal loss requirements.
