What is the GPS Cable?
The GPS Cable is a specialized coaxial cable designed to connect a GPS antenna to a GPS receiver or device, enabling the transmission of GPS signals for navigation, location tracking, or timing functions. Used in smartphones, tablets, vehicles, or dedicated GPS devices, it ensures minimal signal loss for accurate positioning. Ideal for repairs or upgrades, it addresses issues like weak GPS signals or connectivity failures caused by damaged or worn cables.
Key Features:
Performance and Technology:
Cable Type: Coaxial cable, typically double-shielded to minimize signal loss and interference (e.g., RG174, RG316, or low-loss variants).
Frequency Support: Compatible with GPS L-band frequencies (e.g., L1: 1575.42 MHz, L2: 1227.60 MHz, L5: 1176.45 MHz) for fast signal acquisition and accurate positioning.
Impedance: 50 Ohm, matching GPS antenna and receiver requirements for efficient signal transfer.
Compatibility: Designed for specific devices or universal GPS applications, including smartphones (e.g., iPhone, Samsung Galaxy), vehicle navigation systems, or external GPS receivers.
Signal Integrity: Low-loss design ensures minimal degradation of GPS signals, critical for maintaining accuracy in weak signal environments.
Connectivity and Features:
Connectors: Common types include SMA, TNC, U.FL, or Fakra, depending on the device or antenna (e.g., U.FL for smartphone internal GPS, SMA for external antennas).
Length: Available in various lengths (e.g., 0.5m to 5m for external applications, 10–30 cm for internal smartphone repairs) to balance signal strength and practicality.
Installation: Requires precise connection to the device’s GPS module or antenna port, often involving soldering or clip-on connectors for internal repairs.
Features: Double-shielded construction to reduce electromagnetic interference, with some cables featuring weather-resistant coatings for external use.
Durability: Built to withstand bending, environmental stress, and repeated connections, compliant with RoHS and conflict minerals regulations.
Design and Build:
Materials: High-quality copper core with double-shielded coaxial layers (e.g., braided copper and foil) and durable PVC or TPE outer jacket.
Weight: Lightweight, typically 10–50g, depending on length and connector type.
Dimensions: Slim diameter (e.g., 2–5 mm for RG174/RG316 cables) for easy routing in compact devices or external setups.
Finish: Flexible, tangle-resistant design with secure, corrosion-resistant connectors for reliable performance.
Certifications:
Compliant with CE, RoHS, and UL standards for safety and environmental responsibility.
Some models meet conflict minerals legislation (e.g., Dodd-Frank Act, EU Conflict Minerals Regulation) for ethical sourcing.
