JRE 1724B RF Shielded Test Enclosure

A roomy, rack-mountable RF shielded test enclosure — ideal for large-scale RF devices like enterprise mesh systems, access points, base stations, and wide-screen laptops.

• Roomy 22.5 x 15.5 x 11 inches inside (570 x 395 x 280 mm) in a 17" wide x 24" deep footprint
• 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
• Two removable C-size I/O plates — plenty of space for filters and connectors, reconfigurable as your test needs change
• Large interior for enterprise-class mesh network systems, access points, and laptops
• Two 'honeycomb' style vents keep it cool — optional fan available
• Internal struts hold the lid open for easy access when connecting your device
• 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 Large Wireless Devices

Originally designed for testing wide-screen laptops, the rack-mountable JRE 1724B is ideal for large wireless devices such as mesh network APs, cellular/LTE/4G base stations, and other large RF gear. For over-the-air work, pair it with our test antennas — the ANT-82 covers cellular/PCS bands for base-station testing, while the ANT-245 handles 2.4 and 5–6 GHz for WiFi and mesh. If you don't need the full height, the JRE 1724A is the same footprint in a lower-profile version.

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. Internal struts keep the lid open for easy internal access when connecting the device under test, and dual honeycomb-style vents keep it cool, with an optional fan available. 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 C-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 1724B 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.
