The Premier Cable SMA male to FAKRA Z female RF coaxial cable is a pre-assembled RF cable featuring different connector interfaces at its two ends. One end uses an SMA male connector, while the other uses a water-blue FAKRA Z-coded female connector. The coaxial cable between them provides an interconnection option for compatible RF equipment.

SMA interfaces are commonly used in RF test equipment, wireless communication modules, and antenna systems. FAKRA interfaces are widely used in automotive RF applications. Rosenberger's FAKRA family uses mechanical coding and color identification to distinguish connector configurations and reduce the risk of incorrect mating.

The key value of this SMA-to-FAKRA cable is its provision of a pre-assembled interconnection between equipment using different connector interfaces. Before use, verify the SMA gender and thread specification, FAKRA Z coding, system impedance, operating frequency, and internal cable construction.

This is an SMA male to FAKRA Z-coded water-blue female RF coaxial cable assembly. It combines a threaded SMA RF interface with an automotive-style FAKRA coded interface in one cable, providing a connection option for equipment with the corresponding mating interfaces.

Its main configuration includes:

Connector 1: SMA male connector.
Connector 2: FAKRA Z-coded female connector with a water-blue housing.
Cable type: RF coaxial cable.
Connection arrangement: SMA interface at one end and FAKRA interface at the other.

Product Features

Two Different RF Connector Interfaces

The product uses an SMA male connector at one end and a FAKRA Z female connector at the other, making it suitable for equipment integration projects requiring a connection between these interface types.

Water-Blue FAKRA Z Coding

FAKRA Z coding is identified by a water-blue housing. Rosenberger's FAKRA family uses color and mechanical coding to distinguish connector configurations, but actual compatibility must still be verified against the complete coding and mating interface.

Coaxial Cable Construction

A coaxial cable carries RF signals through a structure that includes a center conductor, dielectric, and outer conductor.

Why Was This Product Developed ?

In RF equipment and automotive electronic systems, different modules may use different connector standards. For example, some RF modules use SMA interfaces, while automotive harnesses or in-vehicle equipment use FAKRA-coded interfaces. These interfaces differ in mechanical construction, mating methods, and installation formats and cannot be directly mated.

The SMA male to FAKRA Z female cable was developed to provide a convenient interconnection option between different interface types, allowing engineers to select a suitable connection based on the equipment interfaces.

Product FAQ

What Does FAKRA Z Coding Mean ?

FAKRA Z is one coding configuration within the FAKRA connector family and is commonly identified by a water-blue housing. Different mechanical codes and colors help users distinguish interfaces and reduce incorrect mating.

Color is only an identification aid and cannot replace verification of the complete part number and interface. Before purchasing, confirm the Z coding, connector gender, mounting structure, and target equipment requirements.

Why Is Coaxial Impedance Important ?

RF systems require compatible characteristic impedance across the cable, connectors, and equipment interfaces. Impedance mismatch can cause signal reflections and affect transmission performance.

Does the Water-Blue Housing Guarantee Compatibility ?

No. Water blue is commonly used to identify FAKRA Z coding, but the complete connector part number, gender, mechanical construction, and equipment-side interface must still be checked. Color alone does not establish compatibility.

Does Premier Cable Offer Wholesale and OEM Services ?

Premier Cable can evaluate connector integration, custom cable assemblies, OEM manufacturing, and volume procurement according to project requirements.
