PCM-ZC-0014 is a MATE-AX to Fakra RF cable assembly compatible with TE 2081393 series, supporting custom lengths up to 10m.

 

Traditional distributed ECU layouts are gradually being replaced by centralized computing and zonal vehicle architectures. As cameras, radar modules, GNSS antennas, and autonomous driving sensors move farther away from domain controllers, automotive harness systems now require longer RF cable routing with stable high-frequency performance.

 

This is one reason why MATE-AX and Mini Fakra connector systems are becoming increasingly common in ADAS and autonomous driving platforms.

 

Premier Cable PCM-ZC-0014 is designed for these next-generation automotive RF applications.

Connector Position	Connector Part Number	Description
End A	TE 1-2298721-9	4-in-1 Mini Fakra MATE-AX Connector
End B	TE 2-2326910-0	Standard Fakra Female Connector

 

• PCM-ZC-0014 adopts the same connector interface combination commonly used in TE Connectivity 2081393-1 through 2081393-6 products, ensuring interoperability within automotive RF communication systems.

 

 

3. TE 2081393 Series Cross Reference

---

 

Premier Cable Part Number	TE Original Part Number	Cable Length	Configuration
PCM-ZC-0014-0.5M	Equivalent to TE 2081393-2	0.5 Meter	MATE-AX to Fakra
PCM-ZC-0014-1M	Equivalent to TE 2081393-3	1 Meter	MATE-AX to Fakra
PCM-ZC-0014-2M	Equivalent to TE 2081393-4	2 Meter	MATE-AX to Fakra
PCM-ZC-0014-10M	Extended Length Version	10 Meter	MATE-AX to Fakra

 

• TE 2081393 series products mainly differ by cable length, while connector structure, interface specifications, and application scenarios remain consistent across the series.
• This allows PCM-ZC-0014 to function as a compatible alternative solution for customers seeking flexible sourcing options and extended cable configurations.

 

4. Why Choose PCM-ZC-0014 as an Alternative to TE 2081393 Series

---

 

① Compatible Interface Architecture

 

• PCM-ZC-0014 uses the same MATE-AX and Fakra connector interface standards widely adopted in automotive RF communication systems.
• This enables smooth integration into existing vehicle communication architectures without requiring interface redesign.

 

② Automotive-Grade RF Signal Performance

 

• The cable assembly is engineered for stable high-frequency signal transmission in demanding automotive environments.
• Its coaxial shielding structure helps reduce EMI interference and maintain signal integrity for:
  • ADAS cameras
  • Radar modules
  • GNSS systems
  • High-speed telematics communication

 

③ Flexible Cable Length Options

• Unlike standard market offerings limited to fixed lengths, Premier Cable provides additional custom cable length support.
• Standard lengths include:
  • 0.5 Meter
  • 1 Meter
  • 2 Meter
  • 10 Meter
  • Custom lengths are available upon request.

Cable Length	Typical Application
0.5 Meter	Camera module integration
1 Meter	Radar module routing
2 Meter	Telematics systems
10 Meter	Roof antenna to centralized controller routing

 

 

5. Extended 10 Meter Solution for Modern Vehicle Architectures

---

One of the major advantages of PCM-ZC-0014 is the availability of a 10-meter extended RF cable version.

 

Compared with standard TE 2081393 series assemblies, the extended solution is designed for:

 

• Roof-mounted shark fin antennas
• Long-distance ADAS sensor routing
• Autonomous driving domain controllers
• Centralized vehicle computing architecture
• High-speed in-vehicle RF backbone systems

 

The longer cable option helps simplify complex wiring layouts in intelligent vehicles while maintaining stable RF communication performance.

6. Flexible Sourcing Strategy for Automotive Manufacturers

---

Automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers increasingly prefer dual-source or second-source procurement strategies for critical harness components.

 

Using compatible connector interfaces allows manufacturers to:

 

• Optimize lead times
• Reduce sourcing risk
• Support project localization
• Improve supply chain flexibility
• Enable customized cable routing

 

PCM-ZC-0014 is designed to support these requirements while remaining interoperable with TE-style connector ecosystems used across modern automotive RF platforms.
