Ramsey STE2300 RF Test Shielded EnclosureManufacturer: Ramsey Electronics From $745 - request a quote for additional options
With the exception of the STE3000F2 and STE3000FAV2 forensic boxes, we have not enabled online ordering for any of the Ramsey models because regardless of the application, they almost always require options. Depending on the model, options may include filtered AC or DC power into the box, shielded/filtered data/signal connectors, viewing window, internal lighting, ventilation, or additional shielding, to name some of the more common ones. There are dozens of different types and versions of connectors. Because of the number and variations in options, configuring and quoting a Ramsey box can be complicated even for those of us who have been handling the line for years. If you are not the person who will be using the Ramsey box, please include the name, phone number and email address of the primary operator when submitting a request for quote. That contact information will help us get you the right configuration for your work, and shorten the time needed to get you a quote. 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 a limited stock of one model, STE3000F2, but because of the lead time we cannot always maintain that stock.
As isolated RF testing evolved into more applications, so did the size, design, and style of the STE's. The STE2200 was designed as the little brother and smallest STE available for small wireless devices. As wireless LAN devices became smaller, it made sense to step-up the STE2200 to a slightly larger design that also utilized our standard universal I/O interface panel. This not only allowed the testing of larger devices, but gave the user the same I/O capacity of our largest STE! Size wise, we increased the width to 9", the height to 5.5" and the depth to 12". This together with the extended I/O capacity gives the user all the benefits of the larger STE's while keeping closely within size of his DUT's. And that's a cost savings! In addition to the standard universal I/O panel we also designed in the option for cross ventilation to cool the DUT. For the first time these advanced features became available in a small hand-held test chamber!The STE2300 is constructed to the same precision-machined tolerances as our larger STE's to maintain an exceptionally well shielded environment. The universal I/O panel is constructed of heavy duty milled 304 stainless steel to assure stability even when well populated with I/O connectors and feedthroughs. Heavy duty, .090 and .125 aluminum is used throughout and our double lip, high performance RF gaskets are used at all joint locations assuring a reliable RF tight closure. Oversized hinges and latches are used to provide a physically tight seal every time. In addition, steady-hold hinges keep the access door at any fixed position making repetitive production testing easier. RF absorbent foam lines the interior to provide a typical RF attenuation of -90dB @ 3GHz makes the STE2300 the ideal "cross-over" chamber for smaller devices that do not require a larger area or hands-on manipulation. |
