Certifications | Regulatory-compliant industries | Industry: CE only Base: CE + RoHS Advanced: CE + RoHS + EN13501 + EN50399 ▲▲▲ (EN13501: Fire rating B1, self-extinguishing) | Enhanced safety, global market access for Advanced versions. | Advanced certifications increase cost by ~20%. |
Conductor Material | High-reliability environments | Industry: Copper-clad aluminum (CCA) Base: Copper (CCA) Advanced: Copper (CCS) ▲▲ (CCS: 99.99% purity, ASTM B35) | Reduced signal loss in Advanced for stable performance in data centers. | Base versions may have higher resistance over long distances. |
Fiber Type | Long-distance data transmission | Industry: Multimode (OM3) Base: Multimode (OM3) Advanced: Single-mode (OS1) ▲▲▲ (OS1: 100Gbps over 40km, ISO/IEC 60793) | Advanced supports ultra-high bandwidth for telecom骨干 networks. | Single-mode requires specialized transceivers, increasing setup costs. |
Fire Resistance | Buildings with strict fire codes | Industry: No standard Base: EN50268-3 (limited fire resistance) Advanced: EN13501 (fire rating B1) ▲▲ (Self-extinguishing within 10s) | Advanced meets stringent fire safety regulations for commercial buildings. | Base versions may fail in high-risk environments like hospitals. |
Data Transmission Speed | High-speed networks | Industry: 10Gbps over 100m Base: 10Gbps over 100m Advanced: 40Gbps over 100m ▲▲ (OM4 fiber, IEEE 802.3bm) | Advanced enables 4x faster speeds for 5G backhaul and cloud infrastructure. | Requires compatible switches/routers for full performance. |
Connector Reliability | Frequent connection/disconnection | Industry: LC connectors (compact but fragile) Base: SC connectors Advanced: SC with dust caps ▲ (SC: 1mm alignment tolerance, TIA/EIA-568) | SC connectors reduce misalignment risks in industrial settings. | SC is bulkier than LC, limiting space-constrained deployments. |
