Rosenberger to FAKRA Automotive Coaxial Cable
This single-channel automotive coaxial cable family provides an interface connection between a Rosenberger single-port coaxial connector and a standard FAKRA connector.
Four configurations are available, covering female and male interfaces on both connector sides. This allows the cable assembly to match different mating requirements without adding separate gender adapters into the coaxial connection path.
Designed for automotive high-frequency signal applications, the cable series is suitable for vehicle cameras, antenna systems, GPS and navigation, infotainment, telematics, and RF test connections where a Rosenberger interface needs to transition to FAKRA.

Available Configurations
Rosenberger Female to FAKRA Female Cable
Dual Female Interface Connection
Combines a Rosenberger female interface with a FAKRA female connector for applications where both mating devices or intermediate harnesses provide corresponding male connections.
The configuration provides a direct single-channel coaxial transition while keeping both cable-side interfaces female.
Rosenberger Female to FAKRA Male Cable
FAKRA Male Interface Adaptation
Transitions a Rosenberger female interface to a FAKRA male connection, providing the required mating direction for compatible FAKRA female ports or vehicle harnesses.
This version is useful when the two connected devices use different coaxial connector families and opposite mating interfaces.
Rosenberger Male to FAKRA Female Cable
FAKRA Female Equipment Connection
Combines a Rosenberger male connector with a FAKRA female interface, providing an alternative mating arrangement for cameras, RF modules, vehicle harnesses, or test equipment.
The integrated interface transition avoids adding a separate gender-changing adapter between the two connector systems.
Rosenberger Male to FAKRA Male Cable
Dual Male Interface Adaptation
Provides male interfaces on both connector sides for systems where the Rosenberger-side equipment and FAKRA-side equipment require corresponding female mating connections.
This completes the four gender combinations available within the same single-channel coaxial cable family.
Typical Applications
Product Features
Four Gender Combinations
Female-female, female-male, male-female, and male-male versions allow the same cable family to accommodate different mating interfaces on cameras, modules, antennas, vehicle harnesses, and test equipment.
Single-Channel Coaxial Architecture
Each cable provides one dedicated coaxial signal path, making it suitable for point-to-point automotive RF and video connections without the complexity of a multi-channel breakout harness.
Direct Rosenberger to FAKRA Transition
Two different automotive coaxial interfaces are integrated into one compact cable assembly, eliminating the need to combine a separate adapter with an additional extension cable for connection.
Coded Automotive Interface
FAKRA uses distinct mechanical and color coding to identify compatible interfaces and prevent mismating. Rosenberger specifies 13 mechanical/color codes plus neutral coding in its FAKRA system.
CORE BENEFITS
Match Different Equipment Interfaces
Four connector combinations simplify cable selection by matching existing equipment ports instead of changing the vehicle-side or module-side connector.
Reduce Intermediate RF Adapters
Integrating the interface conversion into one cable assembly reduces additional inline connections and keeps the coaxial signal path physically simpler.
Easier Prototype & Retrofit Integration
Different mating configurations support camera, antenna, telematics, and infotainment interfaces during vehicle development, retrofit, or lab validation.
Flexible Vehicle-Specific Configuration
Cable length, FAKRA coding, connector gender, and wiring configuration can be selected according to the actual vehicle module and mating equipment.
Connection & Ordering Notes
Automotive coaxial connectors should be selected according to the connector series, gender, coding, mating interface, and target equipment, not by housing color alone.
Before ordering, please confirm:
- Cable type
- Labeling requirements
- Required cable length
- Required FAKRA coding
- Mating connector information
- FAKRA-side gender: Male / Female
- Rosenberger-side gender: Male / Female
- Target camera, antenna, ECU, or RF module
- Rosenberger connector series and part number
Important: FAKRA is available with multiple mechanical and color codings designed to prevent mismating, so the required code should be confirmed before production.
Product FAQ
Q1. What connector configurations are available?
A1. Four configurations are available: Rosenberger female to FAKRA female, Rosenberger female to FAKRA male, Rosenberger male to FAKRA female, and Rosenberger male to FAKRA male.
Q2. Is FAKRA a 50 Ohm automotive connector?
A2. Yes. Rosenberger specifies its FAKRA system with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohm and a frequency range up to 6 GHz, depending on the cable, connector, assembly, and testing conditions.
Q3. Can this cable be used for automotive cameras?
A3. Yes, when the connector and electrical requirements match the target system. FAKRA is widely used for automotive camera and sensor applications, including front, rear, and surround-view camera architectures.
Q4. Can I select a different FAKRA coding?
A4. Yes. The required FAKRA coding should be selected according to the mating interface. Connector coding, housing configuration, and cable construction should be confirmed before production.
Q5. Can the cable length and connector combination be customized?
A5. Yes. Cable length, connector gender, FAKRA coding, cable type, labeling, and other assembly requirements can be customized according to the target vehicle or equipment interface.
