TC-5916AU RF Shield Box

If you need a slightly larger internal work space than the TC-5915A shield box, then this might be your choice. This shield box provides RF shield and signal connections necessary for testing mobile wireless devices, such as mobile cell phones or WLAN devices. The TC-5916AU RF Shield box has two RF ports and two EMI filtered data ports. With the RF coupling accessory and filtered control ports, the TC-5916AU 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. This shield box offers you a choice of easily field replaceable optional rear I/O modules to meet your product interface requirements.

Description

TC-5916AU RF Shield Box Key Benefits

  • New Upgraded “U” Version of the TC5916A now Higher Level of RF Shielding Capabilities up to 12 Ghz
  • Manual Operation
  • 2 RF Ports are Standard built-in to the box.
  • Field Replaceable I/Os(connectors).
  • Easily Field Customizable with Optional I/O modules to meet your testing needs
  • Shock absorbers on lid

The New TESCOM TC5916AU RF Shield Box is the upgraded version of the popular TC5916AU. The new DU version now provides excellent reliable RF Shielding up to 12GHz.  It still retains the basic features of the TC5916AU 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 TC5916AU RF Shield Box an ideal OTA test solution for your handheld DUT(Device-Under-Test).

Typical RF Shielding

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.
  • .1 to 3 GHz > 70 dB
  • 3 to 6 GHz > 70 dB
  • 6 to 12 GHz > 70 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.
