JRE 1618 overview
A thin DUT with more wall crossings than height can stay in a compact setup with the JRE 1618. Its low profile suits boards, modules, and multi-connector devices, while the paired removable plates leave room to separate data, power, and RF connections. I would start here when bench area and connector capacity matter together.
- Interior: 3" H x 14.5" W x 16.5" D (75 x 370 x 420 mm).
- Outside: 4.5" H x 16" W x 18" D (115 x 405 x 460 mm).
- Isolation: −100 dB DC to 1 GHz; −95 dB to 3 GHz; −85 dB to 6 GHz.
- Two removable A-size plates, each 2.75 x 6" (70 x 150 mm), provide generous connector capacity.
- 3/4" (19 mm) LS-30 RF absorbing foam reduces internal reflections and hot-spots.
- Built-in honeycomb vents accept an optional fan for warmer DUTs.
- Optional MW configuration provides > 85 dB isolation to 28 GHz.
At $1,550.00 and in stock, it is the practical mid-ladder choice for a low-height DUT. Map every required crossing before the plate is built; RF connectors and interface filters are configured separately. If the DUT needs a wider low-profile footprint, compare the JRE 2214.
