Type-N vs SMA connector (relative merits)
From the type-N wikipedia page (linked), it's stated that the type-N connector is favored when ruggedness is required. What does this mean specifically?

Type N is about 10 times larger than SMA this means it's harder to break.

does this mean that the type-N connector has a higher rated number of mating cycles?

That would be &quot;durability&quot; not &quot;ruggedness&quot;
