Mu-copper faraday cages

Wall covering system (Mu-copper)

Mu-Copper foil has high attenuation properties in the electrical field (up to 120 dB) as well as in the magnetic field (see shielding performance table).

It is easy to apply, like wallpaper, thanks to its special adhesive for walls, ceilings and floors. The interior finish can be plaster board, foam tiles or plywood.

The 0.12 mm thick Mu-Copper is used to transform regular rooms into shielded rooms; it has excellent shielding performance even at low frequencies. The system is easy to mount on shielded doors with
clamping devices. The standard width of Mu-Copper is 1000 mm and the foil can be delivered on rolls or ready-made sheets.

Overlap options

For the joints you can use a 50 mm overlap. For extra high performance you can fully solder the joint or use a seaming /copper tape with a conductive self-adhesive to apply over the joints.

Advantages

• Cost-effective / takes up little space
• Light weight / high floor load
• Can be constructed with local labor
• Standard interior finish possible like plasterboard
• Can be delivered with 10 year guarantee
• Maintenance free
• Delivery with turnkey measurement report

Shielding performance

Basic values for the material and Mu-copper cage

You can create a Faraday cage with high shielding performance yourself in an economic way, using local labor. This is possible in existing buildings as well as in new ones, without loss of space. Depending on the quality of the doors, vent panels, filters and/or windows used, attenuation levels up to 80-100 dB in the E-field can be realized. When more layers are applied, it is possible to achieve over 120 dB.

Ventilation

For ventilation we have developed honeycomb ventilation panels. Special for the mu copper faraday cages we can deliver honeycomb vent panels with a mu copper flap arround. Can be easily soldered into the mu copper faracay cage.

For other honeycomb ventilation panels see our honeycomb ventilation webpage.

Ceiling

The system can be used with a detachable or fixed ceiling to separate existing ducts and cables from the shielded room.

Server rooms

MRI rooms

Modified RF Shielded Door

When a lower performance 40-60 dB is acceptable we can retrofit your existing door. The doors will be equipped with gaskets on top and sides, while the bottom is provided with a conductive copper brush and doorstep. 

Modification is possible for both swing and sliding doors.

For heavy duty applications we deliver faraday cage doors up to 140 dB reduction.

Components

In addition to EM shielded doors and windows, the screened rooms can be equipped with the following components:

• Shielded doors (see webpage)
• Shielded windows (see webpage)
• Shielded ventilation panels (see webpage)
• Power and signal filters (see webpage)

When necessary we also offer shielding solutions for water pipes, medical gases and ventilation.
