JRE 1729A RF Shielded Test Enclosure

Benchtop RF shielded test enclosure with a gas-strut-supported cover door — its long, deep interior suits extended or multiple devices laid out lengthwise.

• Roomy 7.5 x 15.5 x 27.5 inches inside (190 x 390 x 700 mm) — a notably long, deep format in a 17" wide x 29" deep package
• Excellent RF shielding isolation: −100 dB DC to 1 GHz, −95 dB to 3 GHz, −85 dB to 6 GHz
• Gas struts assist the cover door and hold it open in place for easy access
• Two 'honeycomb' style vents included — optional fan available
• Dual removable D-size I/O plates for maximum connector capability, reconfigurable as your test needs change
• Dual cover latches (adjustable for wear) and triple hinges for secure closure
• 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.

A Long, Deep Test Volume with Easy Access

The JRE 1729A features a large entry door with gas struts to easily hold it open when accessing or placing your device under test into the enclosure. At 27.5" deep, its long interior is the standout — room for extended devices, cable assemblies, or several units arranged end to end. Proper closure and tight RF isolation are assured by dual cover latches, which are adjustable to compensate for any wear with usage. Dual honeycomb-style vents keep it cool, with an optional fan available, and the dual D-size I/O plates allow plenty of connector options. If your devices need a wider rather than deeper footprint, the JRE 1724A is a related low-profile option on the same D-size plate system.

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. 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 1729A 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.
