RF Enclosures

The role of Conductive Textiles in Modern PPE!

Conductive Fabrics-Great Shielding Material!

Conductive Fabrics-Great Shielding Material!  Shielding materials are usually needed in electronic devices to protect the devices from EMI/RFI which can adversely affect their performance.  The more conductive the Fabric is, the better its shielding characteristics are.  Obviously, fabric is typically lightweight and flexible, making it great for shielding in tight quarters.  Engineers also love the lightweight, as products today are smaller and more portable than ever before.  Lightweight is also important in the automotive, aerospace, military, and law enforcement markets,...
Testing Situations-Prepare for them!

Testing Situations-Prepare for them!

Testing Situations-Prepare for them!  You remember it from school, from the first day of class, you knew that there would be a "Final Test".  The "Final" would determine whether you would move on to the next level, or whether you would have to repeat the test!  Preparation for the final was very important.  A parallel situation to the "Final Test" exists when developing a new electronic product for marketing.  Commencing with development is the first step for the device toward...
RF Shielding Curtain

RF Shielding Curtains-Separation and Isolation!

RF Shielding Curtains-Separation and Isolation!  RF Shielding Curtains are relocatable shields designed for isolating or separating areas from RF waves.  Curtains can be made to the customer's specification of size, Shielding Effectiveness, and suspension method.  The conductive metalized textiles and number of layers used in their manufacture determine the RF shielding properties of the curtain.  RF Shielding Curtains can even be made to withstand weather, UV, and rough treatment with a "ruggedized finish"! RF Isolation is important in many areas and...
Shieldex and VTT-"Family Businesses"

Shieldex and VTT- “Family Businesses”!

Shieldex and VTT-"Family Businesses"!  I was able to interview Robert Erichsen, the CEO of Shieldex recently during his first visit with us in three years.  Shieldex is VTT's European partner, providing us with conductive metalized textiles, that VTT markets and uses in our fabricated products.  The close relationship between Shieldex and V Technical Textiles, Inc. spans many years and is rooted in family and business ties. Robert Erichsen, CEO of Shieldex Randy:  It's been a few years since you've been able to...

VTT-Experience, Expertise, Excellence and Service!

VTT-Experience, Expertise, Excellence and Service!  VTT has been in the conductive metalized textiles supply business for sixteen years.  We have a lot of experience, but VTT doesn't just settle for that.  We strive for excellence, creating new products using these textiles and are constantly looking for ways to improve on them.  Our teams, from Research and Development, Design, Sales and Manufacturing are experts in their fields.  Most of our manufactured products are custom designed and manufactured to our customer's specifications...
Rugged Conditions

Rugged Conditions Require Ruggedized Textiles!

Rugged Conditions Require Ruggedized Textiles!  RF Shielded Enclosures are usually located indoors, protecting them from the elements.  The thin conductive textiles used to manufacture enclosures can't stand up well unprotected in extreme conditions.  Wind, rain, and ocean spray can damage or destroy the enclosures very quickly.  The military and law enforcement often need command centers for their activities to be portable and able to stand up to tough conditions.  Lives are at stake in these harsh environments as well as...

Develop and Test your Product with the Best!

Develop and Test your Product with the Best!  V Technical Textiles, Inc. has been involved in electronic product development and testing for years!  Initially, VTT was known for providing excellent RF shielding materials used in electronic devices.  Shielding materials block access of RF interference to electronic devices, allowing them to perform smoothly!  Additionally, they prevent the emission of RF interference from electronic devices.  VTT's Shielding materials are conductive metalized textiles, used in the automotive, aerospace, medical, and military industries.  Engineers...
Compatibility- Succeeding by Working together! Together!

EMC-Devices Functioning Optimally Together!

EMC-Devices Functioning Optimally Together!  Electromagnetic Compatibility means devices can function at their best in a shared environment.  All electronic devices create electromagnetic fields while they are working.  Some components of these RF emissions can potentially interfere with the optimal function of devices.  In the United States, the FCC has regulatory authority over many kinds of consumer electronics.  FCC Standards control what emissions devices can make, and a standard for how much RFI a device must tolerate while operating.  Additionally, there...
RF Shielded Enclosure

VTT Shielded Enclosures-Testing Gamechangers!

VTT Shielded Enclosures-Testing Gamechangers!  RF Shielded Chambers have been around for a long time!  The "standard" RF Shielded Chamber was a brick-and-mortar structure with solid metal walls, ceilings, and floors.  It was heavy, immobile, extremely expensive to construct, and required the Device Under Testing (DUT) to come to the chamber for testing.  For more than two decades, William Hoge and VTT have been designing and manufacturing a radically different style of RF Shielded Enclosures than the "old standard".  His use...
Digital Privacy Rack Cover

RF Shielding-Block Unwanted Access!

RF Shielding-Block Unwanted Access!  Our wireless devices store our private information.  We count on them to keep that information secure from unwanted access.  We are able to access our bank and credit card information and use it daily.  Businesses use their computers to store confidential information about their customers and trade secrets.  Sadly, there are hackers out there who would like to use this information in criminal ways!  It seems like we hear about data breaches daily or weekly on...
