Overview:
LBA Group, a trusted company with over 60 years of experience in RF technology, successfully resolved various RF interference challenges faced by different industries through the implementation of the innovative CPC-54 RF Shielding Paint. This case study highlights three specific applications where the CPC-54 paint proved to be an effective and cost-efficient solution.
The Challenge:
- Manufacturing Machine RF Interference:
A manufacturing company experienced RF frequency interference from their machinery, which disrupted cell reception outside their building, violating FCC regulations.
- Data Center Applications:
Data centers faced the challenge of unwanted interference entering the facility and adjacent office areas, causing disruptions and potential damage to sensitive equipment.
- SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) Room Design:
Government requirements for shielding and securing SCIF areas needed to be met in a cost-effective manner.
The Solution:
- Manufacturing Machine RF Interference:
LBA Group’s recommendation is the CPC-54 RF Shielding Paint, a high-performance paint suitable for interior and exterior use, with up to 90 dB shielding performance at 40 GHz. The paint’s high adhesive tensile strength allowed for application on difficult substrates like drywall. With its easy application and compatibility with decorative paint, the CPC-54 paint effectively mitigated the RF interference, surpassing FCC requirements.
- Data Center Applications:
With the application of CPC-54 RF Shielding Paint as recommended by LBA Group, data centers experienced improved performance and protection against RF interference. The paint effectively shielded the facility, preventing RF noise from impacting adjacent office areas and compromising sensitive equipment. This recommendation ensured uninterrupted operations and safeguarded valuable data.
- SCIF Room Design:
LBA Group recommended using the CPC-54 paint as a versatile and cost-effective solution for shielding and securing SCIF areas. With its high screening attenuation capabilities, including up to 90 dB at 40 GHz, the paint provided the required level of shielding while eliminating the need for expensive foil shielding. Its precise blending, easy application, and compatibility with decorative paint allowed for a seamless integration into the SCIF room design.
The Result:
