JRE 1522 RF Shielded Test Enclosure

Clamshell-style benchtop RF shielded test enclosure — ideal for fast loading and testing where you're cycling units in and out all day.

• Roomy 11.5 x 13.5 x 20.5 inches inside (290 x 340 x 520 mm) in a 15" wide x 22" deep benchtop footprint
• Excellent RF shielding isolation: −100 dB DC to 1 GHz, −95 dB to 3 GHz, −85 dB to 6 GHz
• Piano-style hinge keeps the top lid aligned and sealed RF-tight
• Two 80 mm 'honeycomb' vents standard — optional fan available for hot-running products
• Gas struts assist lid-opening force and hold it open for easy access
• Low entry barrier speeds loading
• Removable, field-changeable C-size I/O plate — plenty of room for connector options, reconfigurable as your test needs change
• 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.

Built for Fast, Repetitive Loading

For easy, fast enclosure entry and testing, the JRE 1522 sets the standard. Gas-assisted struts gently lift the lid and keep it up for hands-free access, while the low entry barrier means you're not fighting a deep box every time you load a unit — exactly what you want on a production or QA bench where load time adds up over hundreds of cycles. Dual honeycomb vents keep things cool, with an optional fan available for hot-running products, and the large C-size I/O plate leaves plenty of room for connector options. If you need the same fast-loading clamshell in a larger size, see the JRE 2220A.

Featuring rugged welded aluminum construction, you can be assured of its tight 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. The rugged piano-style hinge on the lid reduces cover play, while the dual latches ensure tight RF shielding when closed. 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 C-size plate recesses into the chamber wall and does not intrude into your test volume. Because it swaps out in the field with a few screws, one 1522 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 C-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.
