The New TESCOM TC5910DU RF Shield Box is the upgraded version of the popular TC5910D. The new DU version now provides excellent reliable RF Shielding up to 12GHz. It still retains the basic features of the TC5910D RF Shield Box that the testing industry has grown to love but now with improved shielding to meet the higher frequency testing demands of wireless technology. This Faraday cage is designed for OTA testing as all the interior walls are lined with highly absorbent RF Absorber along with a layer of ferrite absorber to minimize reflections for performing Over-the-Air testing(OTA). Add one of our grid fixtures and antenna couplers to make the TC5910DU RF Shield Box an ideal OTA test solution for your handheld DUT(Device-Under-Test).
How is Over-The-Air, OTA testing performed? To perform an OTA test, the device under test (DUT) is placed in a test environment inside a test chamber, such as the TC5910DU RF Shield Box. The test chamber isolates the Device Under Test(DUT) from any outside interference. The RF Absorber lined walls and antenna coupler reduces reflections within the chamber. The goal of OTA testing is to ensure that the device has good wireless performance in every situation. Many factors can affect the performance and reliability of the testing, such as reflections causing multipath conditions and interference from the surrounding environment, so this is where our RF Shield Box integrated with an antenna coupler and fixture can give you the repeatability and integrity in your testing.

*SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE
- 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.
