TE Mini FAKRA Quad Port To SMA LVDS Video Cable

Surround view and panoramic vision systems bring four camera video feeds together into one ECU. The ECU side often uses a Mini-FAKRA 4 port connector to save space, while the cameras and test instruments use either standard FAKRA or SMA connectors. Running four separate video channels out of a Mini-FAKRA 4 port housing requires a factory made fan out harness, because hand built splitters fail the 50 ohm impedance and shielding tests that LVDS video demands.This harness is that factory fan out. The Mini-FAKRA 4 port female, 2298721-9, mates to the factory Mini-FAKRA 4 port male pigtail. The cable fans out to four FAKRA or four SMA connectors, depending on configuration. The cable is a 50 ohm coaxial line built to keep the video signal clean from end to end.

TE Mini-FAKRA 4 port female connector, part number 2298721-9, teal housing with pink latch, factory fanned out to four FAKRA or four SMA connectors for LVDS video and panoramic vision systems. The Mini-FAKRA 4 port female end carries four independent video channels. The fan out ends are offered as four FAKRA females, four FAKRA males, four SMA females or four SMA males. Available in 6 lengths from 0.1 m to 3 m. Built for panoramic camera and surround view systems that must break one Mini-FAKRA 4 port connector out to four cameras or four test instruments.

Whether you are breaking a Mini-FAKRA 4 port ECU port out to four FAKRA cameras, or to four SMA test instruments, this harness has the fan out you need. Pick the configuration that matches the connectors on the other end.

Product Specifications

Available Configurations

Mini-FAKRA 4 Port Female to 4x FAKRA Female

The Mini-FAKRA 4 port female, 2298721-9, uses all four ports, and the cable fans out to four FAKRA female receptacles, water blue.

Use it when the four video channels need to reach four separate FAKRA male ended cameras or displays. Each FAKRA female accepts a standard FAKRA male pigtail. The 0.1 m to 3 m length range covers tight ECU jumps to trunk camera routing.

Mini-FAKRA 4 Port Female to 4x FAKRA Male

The Mini-FAKRA 4 port female, 2298721-9, uses all four ports, and the cable fans out to four FAKRA male plugs, water blue.

Use it when the four devices on the other end have FAKRA female sockets, such as four female ended cameras or display inputs. Each FAKRA male plugs directly into a FAKRA female socket without an adapter. The 0.1 m to 3 m length range covers dashboard and trunk routing.

Mini-FAKRA 4 Port Female to 4x SMA Female

The Mini-FAKRA 4 port female, 2298721-9, uses all four ports, and the cable fans out to four SMA female connectors, gold plated.

Use it on a test bench when you need to connect the Mini-FAKRA 4 port ECU to four SMA test instruments or video generators. Each SMA female accepts a standard SMA male plug. The 0.1 m to 0.5 m short lengths are ideal for bench to bench jumper cables.

Mini-FAKRA 4 Port Female to 4x SMA Male

The Mini-FAKRA 4 port female, 2298721-9, uses all four ports, and the cable fans out to four SMA male plugs, gold plated.

Use it on a test bench when you need to connect the Mini-FAKRA 4 port ECU to four SMA female test instruments, or when building a custom video distribution box. Each SMA male plugs directly into an SMA female socket. The 0.1 m to 0.5 m short lengths are ideal for bench jumper cables.

Applications 

Closing line: because all four channels run through factory terminated connectors on the same shielded coaxial cable, the LVDS video stays impedance matched end to end.

Product FAQ

Q1: What is this cable used for?

It is used for LVDS video in surround view and panoramic vision systems, where one Mini-FAKRA 4 port ECU connector must fan out to four cameras or four test instruments.

Q2: What is the difference between the four configurations?

Config 1 goes to four FAKRA females. Config 2 goes to four FAKRA males. Config 3 goes to four SMA females. Config 4 goes to four SMA males. Pick the connector type and gender that matches the devices on the other end.

Q3: Can you make custom lengths or other connector combinations?

Yes. We support custom lengths from 0.1 m to 3 m and beyond, and can quote other Mini-FAKRA, FAKRA and SMA combinations on request. Send us your connector photos and target length, and we will quote the matching cable.

Q4: What is the difference between FAKRA and SMA?

FAKRA is the automotive standard connector used in cameras and displays. SMA is the test and lab standard connector used on instruments and distribution boxes. Config 1 and 2 are for in vehicle camera connections. Config 3 and 4 are for bench test and lab use.
