FAKRA-female to SMA-female Cable: 2-inch, 3 in, 4-in, 6-inch Adapter

FAKRA-female to SMA-female Cable

SMA-female (bkd) to FAKRA-female Cable / Adapter:

• The cable-length is 10CM and this refers to the length of the cable between the connectors (not including the connectors).
• One end has an FAKRA female connector , and the other end has an SMA-female connector with bulkhead mount (nut and washer) .
• See details regarding the SMA female connector below on this page: Weatherproofing, mounting, and length options.
• Data Alliance's high-quality soldered terminations of SMA connectors with soldering provide a low-loss connection with discontinuities kept to a minimum.

Antenna Cable Coax is double-shielded, low-loss and very flexible.

• The cable-type is equivalent or better than LMR-100: Coax with black jacket has the same or better signal-loss-per-meter and flexibility as LMR100, and less attenuation (signal loss) than RG174.
• This cable is rated for outdoor use and is also suitable for indoor use.
• The higher quality of the cable of this antenna translates into lower loss/better performance.
• Cable is equivalent to LMR-100 in thickness.
• Recommended tightest bend radius is 1 inch (28mm).

The temperature range for operational use of this 100-series coax and the cable assembly, is: -22 F ~ +185 F (-30 C ~ +85 C)

SMA Connector Characteristics and Details

SMA female connector includes a bulkhead nut and washer:

• This can be used to mount the connector (and thus the cable) on the wall of a network enclosure (to weatherproof the cable connection), or mount the connector on a case, panel or Printed Circuit Bard (PCB).
• Weatherproofing: Seal the hole where the female connector is mounted, by placing an O-ring between the wall of the enclosure and the bulkhead nut & washer on the female connector.
• All of our cables with SMA and RP-SMA female connectors have bulkhead mount hardware.
• The length of our standard SMA-female connector (threaded part) is 3/8 inches. We have a longer option: 14.5mm, which is available as an option. The longer 14.5mm option has an O-ring embedded in the flange to waterproof the port where the cable enters a network enclosure.

SMA Gender Determination: Key Points

• SMA gender is counter-intuitive: Please observe picture & note it is correct.
• The gender is referring to the pins inside--not the threads. SMA male has threads on inside.
• More details regarding SMA & RP-SMA gender determination.

FAKRA connectors are embedded within a plastic housing which features multiple color codes for easy identification and unique keying to prevent mis-mating. FAKRA connectors are designed to perform up to 3 GHz and meet the particular mechanical and environmental requirements of the automotive industry. FAKRA connector is based on the FAKRA and USCAR standards.

RoHS 3 and REACH compliant: All of our antenna cables and RF adapters are compliant with RoHS 3 and REACH restrictions on content of lead and other heavy metals and toxins.

Compatibility with wireless standards & applications:

• All WiFi standards: 2.4GHz and 5GHz applications: 802.11AC, 802.11N, 802.11G, 802.11B, 802.11A
• Cellular Wireless LTE / 4G, GSM / 3G, WiMax: Data and voice applications
• IoT wireless, automation & M2M: Bluetooth, ZigBee, RFID, LoRa, LTE-m, NB-IoT.
• Suitable for machine to machine and communication applications such as telemetry, remote monitoring and mesh networking applications.

Our SMA to FAKRA cables'range of frequency band compatibility (from 0GHz to 18GHz), consistently low broadband VSWR, and impedance matching to 50 Ohm cables, makes them compatible, suitable and compliant for all the above applications.
