JRE 1724A RF Shielded Test Enclosure

Slim, rack-mountable RF shielded test enclosure — ideal for multiple-unit device tests, with a wide flat footprint and two I/O plates for flat-form-factor devices that need plenty of connections.

• Roomy 5.5 x 15.5 x 22.5 inches inside (140 x 390 x 570 mm) in a wide 17" x 24" footprint just 7" tall
• Excellent RF shielding isolation: −100 dB DC to 1 GHz, −95 dB to 3 GHz, −85 dB to 6 GHz
• Fits on any benchtop or into any standard sliding 19" rack shelf
• Dual removable D-size I/O plates — room for a multitude of connectors and interfaces, reconfigurable as your test needs change
• Large footprint holds multiple devices at once
• Two 'honeycomb' vents — one front, one rear — optional fan available for additional airflow
• Rugged welded aluminum construction with cover stiffeners, 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.

Flat Footprint, Multiple Devices

Designed for testing devices with a flat form factor that need plenty of I/O, the rack-mountable JRE 1724A is ideal. Similar to our JRE 1724B but not as tall, its wide, low footprint lets you place multiple devices inside at once — handy for batch testing or any setup where several units share the chamber. The dual D-size I/O panels allow for a multitude of connectors and interfaces, and the whole enclosure drops onto a benchtop or slides into a standard 19" rack shelf. The JRE 1724A comes standard with two honeycomb-style vents, one front and one rear; a fan is optional.

Featuring rugged welded aluminum construction with cover stiffeners, 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. Our wide selection of I/O connectors allows almost any device to be interfaced inside the enclosure. 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 D-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 1724A 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 D-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.
