Description
The TC5922BU-01 RF Shield Box fits easily on a desktop or benchtop while using minimal space. At the same time, it provides enough room for small to medium-size devices. Its ergonomic design supports frequent opening and closing during daily test cycles. It also simplifies routine maintenance.
Engineers can customize the rear and side I/O plates to match changing test requirements. These plates are field-replaceable, so teams avoid downtime and shipping delays. Instead of sending the RF shield box back for modifications, you can update the configuration on site. This flexibility helps keep testing on schedule.
In today’s fast-paced development cycles, time matters. Faster testing moves products from design to production more efficiently. Ultimately, reducing delays gives your team a competitive advantage.
For over-the-air testing, pair the RF Faraday cage with one of our antenna couplers. Install the coupler in a universal grid test fixture for best results. This setup delivers reliable and repeatable OTA measurements.
Typical RF Shielding
TC-5922BU-01 Shield Box Typical RF Shielding
The shielding effectiveness below is measured when the blank panel is mounted; other I/O interface panel results a different shielding effectiveness of the shield box.
| Frequency |
Shielding effectiveness (dB) |
| .1 to 3 GHz |
> 70 dB |
| 3 GHz to 6 GHz |
> 60 dB |
| 6 GHz to 12 GHz |
> 60 dB |
- 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.
