Ramsey STE4500M RF Test Shielded Enclosure

Early in 2024 Ramsey Electronics announced wholesale changes to its lineup of RF-Shielded (Faraday) enclosures.  Most of the original Ramsey part numbers now end with an M, reflecting new standard features that have been added to nearly all models. 

• An inside liner of 3/4-inch RF-absorbent foam is now almost universal.
• Dual 60mm or 120mm honeycomb vents are now standard on all but a handful of the smaller Ramsey boxes.  Because resistance in wires and circuits increases with temperature, ventilation is important to prevent overheating of the test space.
• All of the STE3000-series forensic boxes are now slightly larger to accommodate the 3/4-inch foam without reducing the working space inside the box.
• There are now 12 standard STE3000-series forensic models to make it easier to select combinations of filtered Ethernet and USB2/USB3/USBC ports with either STE3000F2 or STE3000FAV2, which used to be the only two standard choices.  Dual 60mm honeycomb vents are standard on all 12 models.  Ethernet is required for forensic operators who will be using Graykey, the passcode breaking solution for Apple devices.
• The price of most boxes increased because of these new features and specifications.
  

Because Ramsey boxes almost always require options, online ordering is not enabled for any of them.  Even when one of the more fully featured standard boxes is selected, we often find other options are needed once the particulars of the application are known.

Because their products are almost always customized, Ramsey does not keep finished goods inventory of shielded boxes.  All boxes are built to order.  Lead time varies depending on the model, options and current demand.   We will include the expected lead time in our quote.

Saelig keeps stock of STE3000F2.  We will add to that inventory as buying patterns emerge for the new standard forensic boxes.
