Stay Cool Under Pressure: Introducing the BlockBox Lab XL With a Shielded Vent and Fan

At Mission Darkness, we’re always improving to meet the needs of forensic professionals. The BlockBox Lab XL With Shielded Vent and Fan is our latest innovation, designed to address a common challenge in forensic investigations—heat buildup inside analysis enclosures. This enhanced version of our trusted BlockBox Lab XL features an integrated honeycomb vent and 120mm Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM fan with a speed controller, specifically designed to keep your devices cool during extended sessions.

Why Cooling Matters

Forensic investigations often involve high-powered tools like GrayKey, Cellebrite, and XRY, which generate significant heat during use. Overheating can slow down your workflow, degrade device performance, and even cause devices to swell or damage sensitive electronics.

The BlockBox Lab XL with the inclusion of a vent and fan solves this problem with its cooling system that actively dissipates heat. Whether you’re working in a lab or on-site, you can focus on your investigation without worrying about equipment or devices overheating.

Enhanced Features for Seamless Investigations

The BlockBox Lab XL With Shielded Vent and Fan offers the same exceptional RF shielding as the original BlockBox Lab XL, plus advanced cooling to ensure uninterrupted performance:

  • Integrated Honeycomb Vent and Fan: Reduces heat inside the enclosure to protect devices and maintain efficiency during long investigations. The fan connects to an internal USB outlet and features a speed controller to adjust airflow.

  • Certified RF Shielding: Meets IEEE 299-2006 standards, blocking WiFi, Bluetooth, 5G, GPS, RFID, and more.

  • Hands-On Accessibility: Includes conductive gloves and a patented RF-FilterVu transparent window for easy device interaction and monitoring.

  • Patented RF Shielded Window: Gen 2 RF-FilterVu transparent window for device viewing.
  • High-Speed Data Transfer: Equipped with shielded USB, AC, and RJ45 ports for fast and secure connectivity.
