Why 4 Layer FR4?
Communication electronics often need more routing space and a more continuous ground reference than a 2 layer board provides. A 4 layer FR4 structure supports separate signal, ground and power functions while keeping material and fabrication costs practical.

Lamination and Drilling
The multilayer structure is laminated before vias, plated through holes and mechanical holes are drilled to the approved data.
Outer Layer Imaging and Plating
Outer-layer circuits are formed and plated through holes create electrical connections between the four copper layers.
Solder Mask, Silkscreen and ENIG
LPI solder mask, legend and ENIG finish are applied according to the approved color, pad and marking requirements.
Routing, Testing and Packing

Pre-shipment inspection covers laminate and stack-up consistency, layer registration, plated-hole continuity, ENIG pad condition, circuit integrity, dimensions and packing.
Material Check
FR4 laminate, prepreg, copper foil and process materials are matched to the approved order specification.
Layer Registration
Inner and outer layers are checked for registration, drill alignment and finished-hole conformity during production.

4 Layer vs Other Routes
Choose the board structure according to routing density, signal performance, component pitch, connector count, assembly method and budget. Four-layer FR4 with ENIG is suitable when internal planes and flat solderable pads are required without moving to HDI or special RF materials.
| PCB Route | Better For | Buyer Decision |
|---|---|---|
| 4 Layer FR4 PCB with ENIG | Communication modules, gateways, control interfaces, SMT pads and medium routing density. | Choose when FR4 material, 4 layer routing and ENIG finish match the electrical and assembly needs. |
| 2層FR4 PCB | Cost-controlled control boards, driver boards and less dense routing. | Choose when the circuit is simple and routing density does not require internal planes. |
| HDI PCB | Very dense communication modules, microvias or compact fine-pitch layouts. | Choose when standard 4 layer routing cannot fit the design. |
| 高周波PCB | RF, microwave or signal-sensitive designs where FR4 loss may not be suitable. | Choose when the electrical requirement needs special high-frequency material. |

To configure this limit, refer to https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/configuration/#limits | Complete communication modules that require assembly and testing. | Choose when PCB fabrication, BOM, SMT/THT and test route should be quoted together. |
