Description
Large benchtop RF shielded test enclosure with two I/O plates — roomy enough to breeze through laptop RFI and wireless testing of laptops and small-form-factor computers.
- Roomy 13.5 x 20.5 x 17 inches inside (340 x 520 x 430 mm) in a 22" wide x 18.5" deep package
- Excellent RF shielding isolation: −100 dB DC to 1 GHz, −95 dB to 3 GHz, −85 dB to 6 GHz
- Two removable B-size I/O plates for a wide selection of I/O options, reconfigurable as your test needs change
- Easily holds laptops and SFF computers
- Includes two 'honeycomb' style vents — optional fans available
- Convenient single handle allows easy door operation
- Dual latches and triple hinges ensure tight RF shielding
- Keyed locking latch available (add $29)
- Rugged welded aluminum construction, made in the USA on our own fabrication line
- Optional MW upgrade extends isolation to 28 GHz for 5G FR2, UWB, and Wi-Fi 6E/7 work
- Please note: test chambers do not include any RF connectors or interface filters. Any connection to a device inside the chamber must be suitably filtered to maintain shielding isolation. See the filtered interface and connector options below.
Laptop RFI and Wireless Testing, with Room to Spare
Breeze through laptop RFI and wireless tests with the 'bigger-than-a-breadbox' JRE 2218! Its large benchtop interior easily swallows laptops and small-form-factor computers, and the two B-size I/O plates give you plenty of room for the connectors and filtered interfaces those systems need. For over-the-air wireless work, pair it with one of our test antennas such as the ANT-245 (2.4 and 5–6 GHz) for WiFi and Bluetooth. If you need to step up to larger devices, the clamshell JRE 2220A offers more room with fast top-opening access.
Like its other brothers in the JRE Test line, it features rugged welded aluminum construction with superb RF shielding effectiveness. Long-life door gasket material along with our double-edge contact engagement provides solid RF shielding and smooth, trouble-free operation over the life of the chamber. Included two honeycomb vents to keep the inside cool, with fans available as an option. Inside, LS-30 RF absorbing foam tames reflections and hot-spots so your measurements stay clean and repeatable.
The Removable I/O Plate — Your Chamber Never Becomes Obsolete
Every JRE chamber uses a removable, CNC-machined I/O plate — a design JRE engineers originated over forty years ago. The two B-size plates recess into the chamber wall and do not intrude into your test volume. Because they swap out in the field with a few screws, one 2218 can be reconfigured for many different test setups over its life. Our wide selection of filtered I/O interfaces — USB, Ethernet, power, HDMI and more — lets almost any device be connected inside while keeping the RF environment sealed up tight. Browse the B-size populated I/O plates for the most common pre-built configurations.
Not sure what connections you need? The Configuration Worksheet is a quick way to organize your interface and connector needs before you order. Tell us exactly what RF connectors and filtered interfaces you require and we will build and final-test your chamber in the exact configuration you will be using.
