Faraday Cage RF Attenuation Evaluator

Calculate signal penetration loss through industrial control cabinets and enclosures.

RSSI
Measured outside the cabinet. (e.g., -65 = Good, -85 = Poor)

Internal Signal Diagnostics

Faraday Penetration Loss

Architectural Risk Detected

Your internal signal has dropped to critical levels. Metal control panels act as perfect Faraday cages, absorbing up to 40dB of RF energy. Standard commercial routers with internal PCB antennas will completely lose cellular and Wi-Fi links inside this enclosure.

Physical shielding cannot be bypassed with software. Replace internal-antenna routers with True Industrial Hardware. Valtoris Wireless Routers natively feature standard gold-plated SMA external antenna connectors and magnetic extension cables. Lock the router securely inside, and mount the antenna on the roof for a flawless link.
