Buy our Shielded faraday tent

The EMI/RFI-shielded Faraday tents are made of highly conductive, lightweight, and ultra-strong textiles. By default, the Faraday tents are delivered with multiple ropes so they can be easily attached to a ceiling, or they can come with a self-standing frame.

Typical applications are EMC experiments, RF measurements, mobile military or forensic activities, and personal protection in the field. Faraday tents offer a mobile solution for only a fraction of the cost compared to a conventional Faraday cage.

Shielding performance (dB)

Please note: These values are measured under laboratory conditions. Results may vary in other situations; please read our Guarantee.

Applications

• Computer and cell-phone forensics
• Military field or embassy use
• Secure or TEMPEST communication
• Radar-jammer protection
• Electromagnetic allergy / electro-smog
• Pre-compliance testing
• Temporary EMI shielding
• Reverberation chamber (RVC)
• Mode-stirred chamber (MSC)

Advantages

• Easy to mount and move mobile laboratory
• Any size possible
• Optionally supplied with a rigid reinforced floor
• Single-layer Faraday tent: 40-60 dB up to 22.5 GHz
• Double-layer Faraday tent: 70-90 dB up to 22.5 GHz

Mounting options

Our Faraday tents can optionally be supplied with a mounting frame so they can easily be set up as a stand-alone structure almost anywhere, but they are usually supplied with mounting ropes to attach to a ceiling. Mounting ropes are generally used when the Faraday tent is installed inside a building in a permanent location.

Please note: when you want to enter the tent with heavy equipment like vehicles, planes, or tanks you need a rigid floor and a tent with magnetic strips to the bottom so that the entrance of the tent can be fully opened.

As illustrated in the technical drawing above, our Faraday tents can be supplied with the following options (clickable):

• Rigid floor for a heavy load (metal floor)
• Foam tiles
• Shielded ventilation mesh / AC
• Cable sleeve/waveguide for non-metallic feed-throughs or filtered cables, Ø80 mm
• Shielded mesh window for visual contact
• Standard closure with magnet strips
• Power-line or signal-line filter according to your specifications
• Led light inside (battery-powered)
• Led light inside (with power line filter on the net)
• Data transmission filter (optical conversion, including waveguide)
• Packing/transport bag
• Inflatable tent
• Many other options on request

Standard sizes/shapes

We have a number of Faraday tents in standard sizes and shapes in stock. In addition, almost any size and shape can be made on request. Feel free to send us a technical drawing of the desired Faraday tent. Sample drawings can be found under Technical drawings on this page.

Please note: All measurements given in the tables below are outer dimensions. In a dual-layer tent, approximately 10 cm is lost on the inside of the tent. So when you order for example a 2 meters wide double layer shielded tent, the inside wide will be 1.90 meters.

Single-point wall version (SPW)

This tent can be mounted with a rope to wall or rails of the curtain or any other hook in the wall or to central heating pipes. Ideal for hotel room, when you are travelling with your own protection or as safety shelter for embassy-personal
