SMA To Fakra Cable Assemblies Bulkhead Panel Mount

PCM Cable Co., Ltd. is one of the leading sma to fakra cable assemblies bulkhead panel mount manufacturers and suppliers in China. Welcome to wholesale high quality customized products at discount price from our factory. Contact us for quotation and free sample.

The PCM-SHM-0039 cable assembly is developed as a ready-to-install connectivity solution for brands and device makers who need a dependable transition between SMA-based equipment and FAKRA Z–enabled systems. Whether integrating an RF module into a smart vehicle, building a communication gateway, or adding antenna interfaces to IoT hardware, this assembly provides a plug-and-deploy pathway with no redesign required.

The SMA bulkhead connector uses a 3U" gold-plated inner contact, ensuring stable performance even after repeated field installation or harsh environmental exposure. With a recommended 6.4 mm panel opening, integration into housings, enclosures, and control panels is straightforward.

1. Designed for Fast Deployment

The FAKRA Z plug provides universal compatibility across single and multi-band RF environments, reducing SKU complexity for product makers.

2. Compact, Flexible RG174 Cable

The thin and flexible RG174 coax routes easily inside smart devices, dashboards, instrument panels, and communication hubs without altering enclosure design.

3. Stable 50-Ohm Performance

Maintains the signal integrity required for

• GNSS antennas
• Telematics units
• Cellular modems
• Data radios
• Remote wireless controllers

4. Factory-Level Reliability

As a cable assembly manufacturer, we supply consistent OEM production with customizable lengths, connector options, and labeling for branded hardware.

Q1: Is the FAKRA Z Plug keyed or universal?

A1: FAKRA "Z" is the unkeyed universal code. It is color-coded in dark blue and mates with any FAKRA universal jack regardless of mechanical key position. This makes it ideal for testing, prototyping, and cross-platform use.

Q2: Can this SMA to Fakra cable assembly be used outdoors?

A2: The cable itself (RG174) is not UV-rated. For outdoor applications, the assembly can be protected with heat-shrink, conduit, or upgraded to RG316 or a UV-resistant jacket upon request. Outdoor versions can be custom-built.

Q3: What is the maximum recommended cable length?

A3: RG174 has higher insertion loss than larger coax types. For RF performance above 1 GHz, lengths under 3 meters are typically advised. Longer assemblies can be produced, but attenuation must be considered when designing the system.

Q4: What is the typical VSWR of this assembly?

A4: Typical performance on a properly assembled RG174 version:

• ≤1.5:1 up to 1 GHz
• ≤1.8:1 up to 2.4 GHz

Q5: Are these cables individually tested before shipment?

A5: Yes. Each assembly undergoes:

• Continuity test
• Short-circuit test
• Visual inspection on connectors
• Pin-depth check on FAKRA plug
• Pull-force check on the crimped joint

Full RF testing with return-loss data is available for OEM customers.
