IP67 RF Connectivity Solutions for External Cameras, Antennas, and Sensor Systems
ATTEND, a leading provider of advanced connectivity solutions, introduces its Mini FAKRA Waterproof Panel-Mount Solutions , designed for applications exposed to water, dust, vibration, and outdoor operating conditions. By combining Mini FAKRA cable assemblies, a waterproof panel-mount structure, and a board-level I-PEX / MHF interface, the solution helps external cameras, antennas, and sensors connect reliably to electronic modules inside sealed enclosures.
With IP67 protection when properly mated, the solution helps prevent water and dust ingress while maintaining stable RF signal transmission. Its compact Mini FAKRA Type B 2x2 interface, 50 Ω impedance, and operating temperature range from –40 °C to +105 °C make it suitable for automotive, industrial automation, robotics, smart agriculture, outdoor sensor, and Vision AI applications where both environmental protection and RF performance are required.
“Waterproof panel-mount RF connectivity is increasingly important as cameras, antennas, and sensors are deployed outside sealed system enclosures,” said Leon Hung, Product Manager at ATTEND. “This Mini FAKRA solution helps engineers protect internal electronics while maintaining reliable high-frequency signal transmission in harsh environments.”
