Material & Surface Treatment | High-frequency telecom systems needing durability | Industry: Aluminum (ASTM B209, 100 W/m·K thermal conductivity); Base: Brass with 0.5µm gold plating (ASTM B496, 129 W/m·K); Advanced: 1.0µm gold plating ▲ (doubles plating thickness for longevity) | Gold plating reduces oxidation and signal loss (▲ Advanced doubles plating for longer lifespan) | Base may have lower corrosion resistance than Advanced |
Frequency Range | Satellite communications requiring broad bandwidth | Industry: Up to 40 GHz (IEEE C37.20.1); Base: 10–100 GHz (IEEE C37.20.1); Advanced: 10–120 GHz ▲ (extends upper limit by 20 GHz) | Wider range supports higher data rates (▲ Advanced enables ultra-high-frequency applications) | Industry standard may suffice for non-critical use cases |
Connector Type | Compact installations needing reliable connections | Industry: N-Type (MIL-C-39012); Base: SMA-Female (SMA 3.5mm IEC 61169-12); Advanced: SMA-Female with VSWR <1.15 ▲ (reduces signal reflection) | SMA offers smaller footprint and higher frequency capability (▲ Advanced improves impedance matching) | SMA may not be compatible with legacy systems |
Certifications | European telecom projects requiring compliance | Industry: CE (EN 60950-1); Base: EPR Germany Packing (TÜV SÜD); Advanced: EPR + FCC Part 15 ▲ (adds US compliance) | EPR ensures safety in EU markets (▲ Advanced broadens global regulatory coverage) | Additional certifications increase cost |
Thermal Conductivity | High-power radar systems generating heat | Industry: Aluminum (100 W/m·K); Base: Brass (129 W/m·K, ASTM E1461); Advanced: Enhanced alloy ▲ (140 W/m·K, reduces thermal expansion) | Better heat dissipation prevents signal degradation (▲ Advanced minimizes thermal distortion) | Advanced material may be harder to machine |
Customization Options | Tailored solutions for specialized systems | Industry: Standard sizes only; Base: Adjustable port dimensions (±0.1mm tolerance); Advanced: Full customization incl. connector types ▲ (supports niche applications) | Base meets most telecom needs (▲ Advanced accommodates unique system requirements) | Custom orders may have longer lead times |
