Description
The TC-5915A Manual RF Shield Box delivers consistent EMI and RFI isolation for accurate wireless device testing. Designed for both production environments and R&D labs, this RF test enclosure helps engineers create a controlled testing environment that minimizes external interference and improves measurement reliability.
Because wireless validation depends on stable shielding performance, the TC-5915A Manual RF Shield Box supports repeatable RF measurements across a wide range of applications. Its manual open-and-close lid design allows operators to work efficiently during repetitive test cycles while maintaining strong shielding effectiveness.
Reliable RF Isolation for Demanding Test Environments
First, the TC-5915A Manual RF Shield Box improves testing accuracy by reducing outside RF noise. Second, it increases efficiency by supporting consistent open-and-close operation. Most importantly, it provides dependable isolation that engineers can rely on during both development and high-volume production.
Provides RF shield and signal connections necessary for testing mobile wireless devices, such as mobile cell phones or WLAN devices. The TC-5915A RF Shield box has two RF ports and two EMI filtered data ports. With the RF coupling accessory and filtered control ports, the TC-5915A RF Shield Box makes an ideal solution for RF testing mobiles and small RF devices on test benches for R&D, Service, and QA. This RF Shield box is ideal when you need the flexibility of a little extra room for the device being tested.

Typical RF Shielding
TC-5915A Manual RF Shield Box Typical RF Shielding
The shield effectiveness below is measured when the blank panel is mounted; other I/O interface panel results a different shielding effectiveness of the shield box.
- 100 to 2000 MHz > 70 dB
- 2000 to 3000 MHz > 70 dB
- 3000 to 6000 MHz > 50 dB
***Isolation example above is based on I/O configuration as specified above. Isolation may be higher or lower based on specific I/O configuration installed.

- Each shielding effectiveness is measured when each I/O interface panel, which is shown above, is mounted.
- Above data was measured by Tescom, The Shielding Effectiveness might be different based on the measuring method and condition.
- This data has been measured under the condition that the cables are not connected to each filters. When the cables are connected it can affect the shielding performance.
