Corrosion Protected Communication Connections And Related Methods

摘要

Corrosion within a flangeless connector, or at an associated connection of a device or medium (e.g., cable), used in a wireless base station may be reduced by incorporating a recessed portion in an outer surface of a body of the flangeless connector. The recessed portion helps retain a seating member, such as a deformable O-ring, to prevent water and other environmental material from seeping into the connector or connection. Further, inner surfaces of a port of a device that receives the flangeless connector may be covered with a conductive plating, while outer surfaces of the port may be covered with a non-conductive coating.
