What factors affect the price of Fakra cables?

The price of Fakra cables is influenced by various factors, as follows:

Material factors

Conductor material: The type and quality of conductor material are key factors. Fakra cables that use high-purity copper as a conductor are usually priced higher than those made of other materials such as aluminum due to their excellent conductivity and signal transmission performance. If copper prices fluctuate, the price of Fakra cables with copper as the conductor will also change accordingly.

Insulation and sheathing materials: The cost of insulation and sheathing materials has a significant impact. High performance fluoroplastics such as polytetrafluoroethylene have excellent electrical insulation, high temperature resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. Fakra cables using these materials are more expensive; The insulation and sheath made of ordinary polyvinyl chloride materials are relatively inexpensive.

Shielding materials: For Fakra cables with shielding requirements, the quality and quantity of shielding materials such as copper mesh, aluminum foil, etc. will affect the price. High quality and high coverage shielding materials can better resist electromagnetic interference, and their prices are correspondingly higher.

Process factors

Production technology: Advanced production technology and equipment can ensure high-precision manufacturing of cables, such as precise extrusion processes, stranded wire processes, etc., which can make the electrical and mechanical properties of cables more stable. Fakra cables produced using such advanced technologies will also have higher prices.

Manufacturing process complexity: Some Fakra cables with special structures or functions, such as multi-core, high flexibility, waterproof sealing, etc., have complex production processes that require more processes and technical inputs, and their prices will also be higher.

Quality inspection cost: Strict quality inspection processes and standards will increase costs. After multiple inspection processes, ensuring that each cable meets high-quality standards will result in higher prices than products with simpler inspection procedures.

Specification factors

Cable length: Typically, the price of Fakra cables is directly proportional to their length, with longer cables resulting in higher prices.

Core thickness: The thickness of the core determines the current carrying capacity and signal transmission capability of the cable. The thicker the core, the more materials are used, and the higher the production process requirements, the more expensive the price.

Cable structure: Multi core cables require more materials and processes due to their complex manufacturing process, and are more expensive than single core cables. In addition, cables with special structures such as shielding layers and armor layers will also increase in price accordingly.
