CUSTOM ORDERS...ARE STANDARD!
We realize that the connectors, options and actual test procedures of one customer are entirely different from that of another.  In fact over the past 5 years we have never had an identical connector and option configuration between customers!  We made it easy with our precision machined I/O output panels to get standard delivery of your "custom configured" enclosure!  It goes beyond connectors and options.  If you need a special configuration, a different size or door configuration, talk to us!  The entire line of STE enclosures has evolved from just that, the needs of people like you!

THE RF SCREEN ROOM ON YOUR BENCH!
In 1997 Ramsey took the technician out of the large expensive shielded screen room and put his hands and eyes into a portable bench top RF Shielded Test Enclosure. With thousands placed in service worldwide the patented STE technology became the standard for efficient and cost effective RF isolation testing. That legacy has continued with a wide variety of STE’s to suit every RF test application, and size requirements you have today. Our exclusive double lip gasket technology assures an RF tight seal each and every time. Steady-hold hinges maintain the opening at any location and prevent gasket compression due to prolonged closure pressure when not in use. Our STE2800 and STE3800 STE’s feature our RTF Radiating Test Fixture with a built-in broadband antenna to properly test wireless telephones with guaranteed repeatability. All of the STE’s feature a wide variety of available I/O connection and interface options and RF filtered feed-throughs.

All available to fit your custom requirements with the pricing and delivery of a stock unit!

STE3000B RF Shielded Test Enclosure with Gloves & View Window

Can be ordered without the gloves

STE3000
The RF Test Enclosure that started it all! How do you troubleshoot, tune, align, and test a device in an RF free and interference free environment? Well, up until now you had to invest in a very expensive RF screen room. Our patented STE3000B brought that technology right down to your bench, and the cost all the way down to affordable!


Now you can work and see inside the box, rather than inside an expensive screen room. Working access is made possible with our custom designed silver impregnated, ultra fine mesh gloves. These gloves offer an RF tight seal to the box yet give you excellent manual dexterity and hands on access to devices under test. Once the cover is closed, a large RF tight viewing window overlooks the entire working area that is illuminated with built-in noise free incandescent lighting. It doesn’t get much easier than that! All I/O connections and options are milled into a removable 304 stainless steel panel to allow for future changes. Simply choose the I/O’s and interfaces you require when ordering, and the STE3000B will be custom designed to your spec. Sounds too good to be true? We thought so too; that’s why we have a patent on it!

STE3000AV
With the new STE3000AV, we've added a built-in high resolution color video camera inside the box, and a 7" widescreen color TFT display on the outside - but this display isn't just a monitor! Not only does it give you the clearest and closest view yet of the device under test, it's also a high resolution digital video recorder with 40GB of storage! Once the testing begins, as you manually scroll through the phone displays and menus using the RF-tight silver mesh gloves, a video record can log every move onto the DVR! And it gets even better - a built-in microphone on the device is recording as you work, allowing you to narrate throughout the process without the need for another recorder.

Imagine recording high quality audio and video of every step of your product testing with a touch of a button. The STE3000AV makes it possible! Simply hit the record button on the top of the recorder, and sessions are stored as time-stamped individual files on the built-in 40GB hard drive. At the highest quality setting the device will hold approximately 18 hours of video! These files can be exported to standard SD memory cards or transferred directly to any computer via USB for backup, archiving, or playback. Playback is immediately available on the builtin 7" 16:9 TFT display, and the built-in A/V outputs also allow for playback or realtime viewing on any external video monitor or television with standard RCA inputs. The DVR can also be easily removed from the swivel mount to be used as a portable playback (or recording) device, and the built-in Lithium-Ion battery pack keeps it running for hours before a charge is required. The DVR can be controlled through either the common sense on-screen graphical menu interface, or the included IR remote control.

Just like the STE3000, the STE3000AV's heavy duty double lip construction, high performance RF gaskets, and absorbent foam is used to provide up to -90dB isolation at 3GHz. All connections are brought out through our universal I/O panel. If you and your team are looking for a foolproof all-in-one cellular testing solution, the STE3000AV is your answer!

  • Designed to test complete systems

STE3300

Designed from the ground up to be functional, fast, and convenient for the design, production, testing, and maintenance of wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and other microwave frequency applications. Durability is assured because the STE3300 is constructed of rugged .090 and .125 aluminum with dual heavy-duty latches.


Unmatched RF isolation is achieved by the use of the two rows of high performance flexible RF gaskets. The entire interior is lined with RF absorbent foam that provides 24dB reflective attenuation to eliminate nulls and hotspots. The inside working space is large enough to test your devices as a complete system or use multiple enclosures to eliminate interference between work stations. A large variety of connector options are available for specific customer applications. All connectors are milled into a removable 304 stainless steel panel to allow for future requirements when needed.

STE3500

Designed specifically for Wireless Communications circuit board production testing where there is a need for a large footprint for isolating oversized boards and minimal height to allow for easy device placement. The lid opens automatically using the internally mounted dual precision air pistons once the dual heavy duty latches are released.


Construction meets the same standards as our popular STE3300 and incorporates the same double gasketed lid to provide the highest attenuation factor at the best value. The I/O panel is located close to the bottom of the rear panel to keep the cabling as close to the device under test as possible.


All connectors are milled into a removable 304 stainless steel panel to allow for future requirements when needed.

Interference Free Testing FOR YOUR wireless equipment!

 

STE3800
If you are looking for the ultimate enclosure for TDMA, CDMA, AMPS, PCS, GMS, P2T, PDA, and other wireless communications devices the STE3800 is the enclosure for you. The STE3800 is configured with a built-in Ramsey RTF Radiating Test Fixture to give you flawless go/no-go testing with guaranteed repeatability. It is designed around the STE3300 to give you a whopping 5½”H x 15¼”W x 9¼”D inside working space. The RTF provides a broadband coupling response from 800 MHz all the way up to 8 GHz. The heavy duty universal clamp system positions and holds the device under test in an exact position that can easily be duplicated for repeatability. Because frequent tests require the operator to visually inspect the device display (cell phone, PCS phone, etc.), the STE3800 features a large RF tight viewing window that overlooks the entire working area. The entire display and any indicators, LED's etc. located on the device can easily be seen throughout the test process!


Double thickness 24dB RF absorbent foam lines the entire work area for a flat response. As with the STE3300, double row RF gaskets are used to provide RF isolation up to -90dB at 4GHz. A Type-N female connector is provided standard for the RTF antenna connection, and is located on the removable 304 stainless steel I/O panel that can be custom configured with any available I/O options.
