Reverberation Chamber EMC Testing, A new Standard in several Sectors! Learn About it at EMC Live!
Reverberation Chamber EMC Testing, A new Standard in several Sectors! Due to the rapid proliferation of electronic devices, concerns about electromagnetic interference have increased. There is concern about the impact of electromagnetic interference on human health. There is also concern about the effect of ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) on the "health" of crucial electronic equipment. Critical electronic equipment that is required to function properly at all times. EMI can cause components to become "distracted", and malfunction. This type of interference can...

Cable Sleeves Eliminate “RFI Crosstalk”, keeping Data Secure!
Cable Sleeves Eliminate "crosstalk", keeping Data Secure. Cables are the way that information is transferred between computers. Crosstalk refers to electromagnetic interference from one unshielded twisted wire pair to another unshielded twisted wire pair travelling parallel with each other. Electric signals passing through wires create magnetic fields that interact with each other. A wire can be either a "transmitter" or a "receiver" of electromagnetic noise. Both forms of interference/noise affect the data quality negatively. There are two ways of stopping interference...

Pre-Compliance Testing is Important, Prepare your Product for the Final!
Pre-Compliance Testing is important, prepare your Product for the Final! I'm not talking about school here. Manufacturers of electronic devices know exactly what I'm talking about. In order for an electronic device to be marketed, it must pass Final Compliance Testing on RFI susceptibility and RFI emission standards. These standards regulate how much RFI affects the device, and how much RFI the device emits. The device must pass these rigorous Final Compliance Tests at approved testing centers in order to...

RF Shielded Testing Enclosures, Rental is an Option!
RF Shielded Testing Enclosures, why buy one you can rent it? Shielded Testing Enclosures are an ideal solution for Pre-Compliance Testing. Accomplishing this testing at your site has several advantages. There is the monetary advantage, saving travel and testing fees are two areas of saving money. Saving precious time instead of waiting for appointments at busy testing centers when you can perform them in your own location on your own schedule represents another important savings area. Many industries are required to...

Portable RF Shielded Enclosures are Excellent Testing Options!
Portable RF Shielded Enclosures are Excellent EMC Testing Options! These Enclosures are used in Pre-Compliance testing of new electronic equipment in the developmental stage. They provide the perfect ambient-free environment necessary for this type of testing due to the "Faraday Cage Effect". The metalized conductive textiles used in making these enclosures block unwanted electromagnetic fields and waves inside of the enclosure. The Device Under Testing (DUT) can then be operated in a "clean RF environment" to determine if normal operation...

What is Braided Tube, What is Braided Tube used for?
What is Monofil Braided Tube? Shieldex® Monofil Braided Tube is essentially a "sleeve" used to enclose data cables. Data lines are fed through this flexible sleeve, made of woven individual Polyamide threads, with each thread having been individually coated with silver, which helps to protect them from severe kinks, bends, and abrasion. This lightweight flexible sleeve also provides a protected "electronically shielded environment" for the data cables and the information that is carried through them. This "silver braided cable sleeve" is used...

What is a Solar Flare? How can it Effect our Electronic Lives?
What is a Solar Flare? A Solar Flare is the release of pent-up energy, also called a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). Think of them as the results of storms on the surface of the sun, or "spouts of magnetic energy". In early December, we had a Solar Flare. This Solar Flare coincides with the onset of "Solar Cycle 25". A Solar Cycle is an 11 year window of time during which the storminess on the surface of the sun peaks and...
