Description
The STE6000M RF Shield Box provides a controlled environment for hands-on wireless device testing. Its large benchtop design gives engineers room for devices, test fixtures, and supporting equipment. The enclosure supports development, validation, troubleshooting, laboratory, and production applications.
The STE6000M reduces outside RF interference during testing. This controlled environment helps engineers achieve more consistent and repeatable RF test results.
A top-loading swing-away door provides convenient access to the test chamber. The enclosure also uses a double-lip RF-tight gasket to help maintain shielding performance when closed.
An RF-tight viewing window allows engineers to monitor the device under test. Users can observe displays, indicators, and other visual information without opening the enclosure.
The STE6000M also includes two Ultra High Isolation Flexible Gloves Gen-3. These gloves allow users to manipulate and adjust devices while maintaining the controlled RF environment.
STE6000M RF Shield Box for Wireless Testing
The enclosure includes 3/4-inch RF absorbent foam inside the test chamber. This material helps control internal RF reflections and creates a suitable environment for RF measurements.
A 6-outlet 120VAC power strip provides power for devices and supporting equipment inside the test area.
The enclosure also uses 120 mm honeycomb passive ventilation to support airflow during operation. Optional fan configurations provide additional cooling when an application requires it.
The STE6000M RF Shield Box supports many wireless technologies. Applications include Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, RFID, 3G, 4G, and 5G testing.
Engineers can use the STE6000M for wireless product development, device validation, RF troubleshooting, performance testing, and manufacturing applications.
Its combination of hands-on access, RF isolation, viewing capability, internal power, ventilation, and customizable configuration makes the STE6000M a flexible platform for wireless testing.
