MATE-AX Dual Male to Two FAKRA Cable Assembly

This two channel RF coaxial harness connects a MATE-AX dual cavity male interface to two individual FAKRA connections. It links a grouped equipment interface with separately positioned peripheral connections, allowing each coaxial branch to follow its own installation route.

Four configurations accommodate different branch connector genders and sealing requirements:

Interface Options: Two FAKRA male or two FAKRA female terminations

Branch Sealing Options: Nonsealed or sealed FAKRA ends. The common MATE-AX housing remains nonsealed in all four configurations.

Product Specifications

Available Configurations

MATE-AX Dual Male to Two FAKRA Female Cable (Unsealed)

Connection Structure: One MATE-AX dual cavity male interface, with housing reference 2306498-9, connects to two FAKRA straight female ends with housing reference 2-2326910-0.

Technical Distinction: This configuration uses nonsealed female FAKRA branch housings, distinguishing it from the sealed female option in Version 3.

Application Context: Protected equipment bays with corresponding FAKRA male connections, where local branch sealing is not required.

MATE-AX Dual Male to Two FAKRA Male Cable (Unsealed)

Connection Structure: One MATE-AX dual cavity male interface, with housing reference 2306498-9, connects to two FAKRA straight male ends with housing reference 2-2326914-0.

Technical Distinction: Both branches terminate in nonsealed male FAKRA interfaces for corresponding female connections.

Application Context: Existing female terminated coaxial leads that need a grouped MATE-AX connection within a protected wiring area.

MATE-AX Dual Male to Two FAKRA Female Cable (Sealed)

Connection Structure: One MATE-AX dual cavity male interface, with housing reference 2306498-9, connects to two sealed FAKRA straight female ends with housing reference 2-2380551-0.

Technical Distinction: Sealed female FAKRA branch housings replace the nonsealed female housings used in Version 1.

Application Context: Female branch connections specified with sealed mating interfaces, while the nonsealed MATE-AX connection remains inside a protected enclosure.

MATE-AX Dual Male to Two FAKRA Male Cable (Sealed)

Connection Structure: One MATE-AX dual cavity male interface, with housing reference 2306498-9, connects to two sealed FAKRA straight male ends with housing reference 2-2307198-0.

Technical Distinction: Male FAKRA branch interfaces are combined with sealed housings rather than the nonsealed housings in Version 2.

Application Context: Cable junctions with corresponding sealed female FAKRA assemblies, where branch protection requirements are specified separately from the common equipment connection.

Applications & Customer Value

Connecting Existing Peripheral Leads

During module integration, peripheral coaxial leads may already have fixed connector genders. Selecting the corresponding FAKRA branch configuration can avoid adding a separate gender adapter at each connection point and reduce the number of junctions in the installation.

Planning Protection at Individual Junctions

The central equipment connection and peripheral junctions may occupy different installation environments. Engineers can specify sealed FAKRA branches where required while keeping the nonsealed MATE-AX end in a protected area. The complete mated connection must meet the environmental requirements of its installation location.

Routing to Separate Destinations

Two peripheral connection points may sit at different distances from the equipment and follow different routing paths. Defining branch dimensions against the installation drawing reduces unnecessary cable loops and leaves space for fastening, connector access and service clearance.

Accessing One Peripheral Connection

During inspection, an individual FAKRA connection can be disconnected while the other branch and common MATE-AX interface remain physically connected. This arrangement allows access to one peripheral connection without first separating the grouped equipment interface. Service procedures must follow the equipment manufacturer's requirements.

Product Features

Customization Capabilities

Connector and Housing Selection

Premier Cable supports connector type, gender, coding and housing design requirements through engineering review. Mating references and component sourcing requirements can be recorded in the approved assembly specification before production.

Cable Dimensions and Branch Routing

Premier Cable supports custom overall length, individual branch lengths, jacket, shielding and cable structure. Alternative cable selections require a review of contact termination, cable dimensions and sealing component compatibility.

Channel Assignment and Electrical Requirements

Premier Cable supports defined pin assignments and wiring details to identify the destination of each coaxial position. Requests involving circuit configuration, resistance value or power rating are subject to engineering review before the final assembly specification is agreed.

OEM Development and Mass Production

Premier Cable supports drawing review, prototype preparation and mass production against approved requirements. Branch identification labels, product markings and packaging can be specified to match installation and purchasing workflows.

Product FAQ

Q1: Does 2306498-9 identify the complete cable assembly?

No. It is the reference for the common MATE-AX housing. A complete harness specification also identifies the contacts, cable, branch connectors, assembly dimensions and channel assignment.

Q2: Are sealed and nonsealed FAKRA ends interchangeable?

Do not assume interchangeability from connector gender or housing color alone. Confirm the complete mating references, coding, retention features and sealing arrangement before selecting the configuration.

Q3: What should I check when selecting this harness for a camera system?

Check the mating connector references, channel assignment, cable length and signal requirements of your camera system. Connector fit alone does not establish compatibility with a specific transmission protocol.

Q4: Are both ends sealed in Versions 3 and 4?

Versions 3 and 4 have sealed FAKRA branch ends and a nonsealed MATE-AX common end. Keep the MATE-AX connection in a protected location and confirm the sealing requirements of the complete FAKRA mating connection before installation.

Q5: What information is needed for a custom quotation?

Send the selected version, mating connector references, required lengths, channel assignment, cable requirements and order quantity. Specify whether lengths are measured between mating faces or another drawing datum.
