This pigtail is the industry-standard solution for automotive RF integration and validation:
ADAS Testing: Connects radar, LiDAR, and camera modules to external signal generators or spectrum analyzers during functional validation.
Vehicle Telematics: Links TCU (Telematics Control Unit) or 4G/5G modems to external GPS/GLONASS antennas for signal integrity testing.
Infotainment Systems: Enables diagnostic access to factory-installed FM/DAB, satellite radio, or Wi-Fi antennas without disassembly.
OEM Production Lines: Used in final assembly QA stations for antenna RF performance verification on production vehicles.
Aftermarket Upgrades: Facilitates installation of aftermarket GPS trackers, cellular boosters, or V2X modules in vehicles with factory Fakra Z ports.
R&D Labs: Ideal for prototyping RF antenna arrays and validating signal paths in automotive ECU development.
The 90° right-angle SMB interface reduces cable strain by 70% compared to straight configurations, while the Fakra Z locking mechanism prevents accidental disconnection under vibration — critical for automotive safety systems.
True 6GHz Performance: Unlike generic “4GHz” Fakra cables, this assembly is validated for full 6GHz bandwidth — essential for 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and high-res radar signals.
IP67 Waterproof Housing: Sealed connector interface resists moisture, salt spray, and engine bay contaminants — certified to DIN 40050-9.
Anti-Rotation SMB Design: Prevents twisting during mating, eliminating signal degradation from misaligned center pins.
Gold-Plated Contacts: Ensures <2 mΩ contact resistance and long-term corrosion resistance in humid or saline environments.
RG174 Flexibility: 25mm bend radius allows routing through tight harnesses in dashboards, door panels, and roof modules.
Color-Coded Fakra Z: Standard “Water Blue” key code (Z-type) ensures correct mating with OEM antenna ports — no misconnection risk.
100% RF Tested: Each unit undergoes VNA calibration for S11 (return loss) and S21 (insertion loss) before shipment.
Upgrade your automotive RF testing with our SMB Female 90° Right Angle to Fakra Z Female Pigtail Cable (RG174, 50Ω, 6GHz) — the trusted choice for ADAS validation, telematics R&D, and OEM production lines.
