> Product Introduction
What Is an IP67 Waterproof FAKRA Extension Cable ?
An IP67 waterproof FAKRA extension cable is an automotive RF cable assembly with Z code male and female connectors and 50 ohm coaxial cable. It extends RF links between compatible automotive antennas, navigation units and wireless communication devices.
Its sealed construction helps protect connections from moisture and dust in various vehicle locations, while allowing flexible equipment placement and cable routing.
What Environments Are Suitable for IP67 Waterproof FAKRA Connectors ?
IP67 FAKRA connectors serve many automotive RF systems exposed to dust and moisture, such as roof antennas, exterior panels and underbody areas.
The rating means dust tight protection and resistance to temporary immersion under test conditions, not permanent submersion. Protection requires correct mating, intact seals and proper installation. They connect antennas, navigation units and wireless communication systems.
How to Choose the Right FAKRA Cable ?
Choose a FAKRA cable by matching connector coding and gender to equipment. Confirm 50 ohm impedance and frequency range, then select a length suited to routing and RF signal loss. Check IP rating, sealing, temperature range, flexibility and vibration resistance. Verify compatibility and mounting requirements before installation.
> Core Product Value
◆ Reliable RF Extension Between Devices
The FAKRA male to female cable links two compatible RF interfaces and extends the connection between devices. It allows flexible antenna and communication module placement without replacing the vehicle wiring harness.
◆ Dedicated FAKRA Connector Compatibility
Z code male and female connectors provide the matching arrangement for compatible FAKRA ports. Checking connector coding and gender before installation helps prevent mismatches and supports consistent harness assembly.
◆ Coaxial Design for RF Signal Transfer
The 50 ohm automotive coaxial cable carries RF signals through a controlled path. Its center conductor, dielectric and shield work together to maintain impedance characteristics and help reduce external interference.
◆ Sealed Protection for Automotive Use
Sealed FAKRA connectors suit automotive areas exposed to dust and moisture. When properly mated with intact seals, they help protect the connection area; actual protection depends on installation conditions.

> Product FAQ
Can This FAKRA Cable Support GPS Navigation Systems ?
Yes. With matching FAKRA interfaces, this 50 ohm cable connects GPS antennas to navigation units. Its DC–6 GHz range covers GPS bands; verify connector gender and RF loss for the cable length.
What Coaxial Cable Does This FAKRA Assembly Use ?
LEONI DACAR 302-4 automotive coaxial cable is used. Its center conductor, dielectric, shield and jacket form the RF path, with 50 ohm impedance and a specified DC–6 GHz operating range.
Does Cable Length Affect RF Signal Transmission ?
Yes. Coaxial cable adds insertion loss, which generally rises with length and frequency. Choose the shortest length that meets routing needs and verify total attenuation against the receiver's RF budget.
What Are the Environmental and Customization Options ?
Rated -40°C to +105°C, it suits automotive environments. IP67 protection requires correct mating and intact seals. Custom lengths and connectors can be tailored from drawings or samples.
