Description

RF Shield Box STE4500M

The RF Shield Box STE4500M provides a controlled RF environment for wireless device testing. It helps reduce outside RF interference and unwanted signal leakage. As a result, engineers can perform more consistent tests in labs and production environments.

The STE4500M also provides a large internal test area. Therefore, it can support wireless devices, modules, PCBs, and fully assembled products.

RF Shield Box STE4500M for Wireless Testing

The RF Shield Box STE4500M supports product development, validation, troubleshooting, and production testing. Its internal test area measures 20.7″ W × 13.7″ D × 17.2″ H.

In addition, the enclosure provides visual and hands-on access to the device under test (DUT). An RF window allows users to monitor the DUT during testing. RF gloves also allow users to make adjustments without opening the enclosure.

Easy Device Access and Visibility

The STE4500M includes an internal light bar. Therefore, users can easily view devices and equipment inside the test area.

In addition, the RF window provides a clear view of the DUT. Together, these features make device testing and troubleshooting easier.

Flexible I/O Options

The RF Shield Box STE4500M supports flexible I/O configurations. Users can select connections that match their test equipment and application.

For example, options may include RF connectors, filtered interfaces, and power connections. Other test interfaces may also be available. As a result, users can configure the enclosure for many RF testing needs.

Ventilation and RF Control

The STE4500M includes a 120 mm ventilation system. This system provides airflow during longer test cycles.

The enclosure also uses RF absorbent material inside the test area. Therefore, it helps control RF reflections and supports a stable test environment.

RF Shielded Test Enclosure Applications

The STE4500M works well for many RF and wireless testing applications.

  • Wireless device development and validation
  • RF performance testing
  • PCB and wireless module testing
