EMI RF SHIELDING GLASS

D A T A S T O P Security glass specifically designed to reduce the transmission of EMI / RF (electronic noise). - Applications   - Technical Description   - Glazing & Maintenance

    Pilkington Architectural has developed and patented a range of security glasses called DATASTOP - both laminates and sealed units - specifically designed to reduce the transmission of EMI/RF (electronic noise).

    DATASTOP glass is marketed worldwide exclusively by Tempest Security Systems.

    DATASTOP glass can be used as windows or glazed panels in conjunction with shielded external walls, internal partitions or enclosures designed to provide good attenuation using the "Faraday Cage Principle".

    A "Faraday Cage" is an enclosure, all of whose (external) surfaces are electrically conducting. For maximum attenuation, the special coatings on DATASTOP glass must be conductively connected to the window frame all around its periphery, which in turn should be connected to the wall screening of the enclosure.

    DATASTOP glass can be used, inter alia, in: the external and/or internal glazing of buildings, viewing panels in shielded cabinets, and OEM viewing panels (to meet EC regulations)

    The complete absence of any metal mesh combined with the other qualities listed below makes the product unique.
