JRE 1812 RF Shielded Test Enclosure

Roomy mid-size benchtop RF shielded test enclosure with a large interior for multiple-device and system testing — including holding both TX and RX devices for actual on-air tests.

• Roomy 8 x 16.5 x 10.5 inches inside (205 x 420 x 270 mm) in an 18" wide x 12" deep package
• Excellent RF shielding isolation: −100 dB DC to 1 GHz, −95 dB to 3 GHz, −85 dB to 6 GHz
• Large enough for system tests and holding both transmit and receive devices together
• Removable, field-changeable B-size I/O plate — reconfigurable as your test needs change
• Top-loading lid keeps door swing out of the way on congested benchtops
• Dual latches ensure tight RF shielding
• 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.

Roomy Enough for TX + RX On-Air Testing

Developed expressly for high-volume testing of larger RF devices, the JRE 1812 is roomy enough to hold both TX and RX devices for actual on-air tests — letting you exercise a transmit/receive link inside one controlled, sealed RF environment. Top-loading keeps the door swing out of the way on congested benchtops. For over-the-air work, pair it with one of our test antennas; the broadband BBA-1 is a good general-purpose choice for wide frequency coverage inside the chamber. If you'd like to see and reach into the chamber during a test, the JRE 1812WS is the same enclosure with a viewing window and hand-entry sleeves.

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. 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 B-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 1812 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 B-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.
