FDR-505

Floor

FDR-505 is a large-capacity radio frequency (RF) shielding test chamber engineered for controlled testing of frequency-generating devices in interference-free environments. Designed for expanded test setups, it isolates internal signals while preventing external RF interference, enabling accurate, repeatable performance validation for complex RF systems.

Standout Features:

  • High-performance RF shielding blocks external interference and prevents signal leakage
  • Independently certified attenuation performance with documented test results
  • Shielded pass-through interface plate with RF-rated connectors for device communication
  • Integrated environmental temperature control for RF device reliability testing

*Rise and pull-down rates calculated using IEC 60068-3-5 standard. Custom options available.

*Ideal ambient temperature conditions for test chambers is 23°C (73.4°F). The temperature and humidity range of assured performance is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F/77°F) and 30-50% relative humidity. Conditions outside this range may affect the performance of your test chamber and reduce the lifespan of the equipment.
