As more new vehicle components feature coaxial (COAX) cables in high frequency applications, including cellular and GPS antennas, Wi-Fi, and image display cameras, a new kit has been released from GM Tools and Equipment for testing coaxial cables. The EL-52552 COAX FAKRA Cable Adapter Kit (Fig. 21) can help in diagnosing a variety of coax cables, including Wi-Fi, cameras, headliner cables, A-pillar cables and more. Diagnosing coax cables routed through the headliner, for example, is made easier with the kit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Fig. 21<\/strong><\/p>\n

The EL-52552 Kit covers all known cable configurations equipped with FAKRA (Fachkreis Automobil, a German standard) connectors. The adapters included with the kit are designed with universal FAKRA connectors, Z Code, in order to connect to all color coded FAKRA connectors on the coax cables in the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The current method of end-to-end testing is to connect three or four DVOM test leads together. Using the adapters in the kit allow a connection to one end of the coax cable (with resistors) connector and having to only probe the other connector end. Banana jacks enable the use of the terminal adapter kit.<\/p>\n

The test connectors have built in resistors (both male and female FAKRA universal connectors). The resistor values are set for error proofing: green color code \u2013 51 Ohm NOM; orange color code \u2013 300 Ohm NOM<\/p>\n
