The Mission Darkness™ TitanRF™ Faraday Fabric Panel is a 10.66ft x 9ft (96 sq ft) rectangular sheet that can be applied to a wall or used to create a radio frequency (RF) shielding enclosure. The fabric uses a copper and nickel composition to block WiFi (2.4 & 5GHz), Bluetooth, cell signals including 5G networks, GPS, RFID, NFC, and radio signals with an average attenuation of 80dB-100dB from 10Mz to 5Ghz. This is the same fabric that is certified to military standards MIL-STD-188-125. This compliance measure not only ensures that the fabric shields against high-altitude electromagnetic pulses (HEMPs) and related occurrences, such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), electrostatic discharges (ESDs), and solar flares, but provides concrete proof to the shielding ability and effectiveness of the fabric. It is primarily used by military and law enforcement forensics investigators to isolate devices, as well as used by civilians for harmful EMF reduction, EMP protection, digital privacy, signal isolation in secure facilities, RF isolation for hardware and software testing, and more.

The panel is constructed out of three 9ft length by 44in width TitanRF Faraday Fabric sheets slightly overlapped and connected using 2.5in width TitanRF Faraday Tape on both the front and back sides (see images below). We assembled a full panel to eliminate the hassle of having to connect sheets on your own, for wall coverings, shielding extra-large electronics, and related applications. It can be cut, sewn, glued, or taped to various surfaces for creating faraday tents, cages, or RF shielding enclosures. If using in construction applications, it can be applied directly to a surface, such as a room wall, in between sheets of drywall, over building materials and tent frames, etc. If connecting multiple fabric panels, slightly overlap edges, and use TitanRF Faraday Tape (available in various lengths and widths) to tape together. Once the panel is fully enclosing an electronic device, you can use our faraday testing apps to confirm your design is effectively shielding (see below). A booklet with helpful construction tips and usage instructions is included. Read our TitanRF Faraday Fabric FAQ for answers to commonly asked questions regarding using the material for faraday cages and RF shielded enclosures.

The shielding effectiveness test was conducted by Keystone Compliance, a full-service regulatory compliance laboratory offering solutions for nearly all EMC/EMI, environmental, ISTA-certified package and ingress protection testing requirements. The purpose of the test was to determine the material's ability to reduce the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive and/or magnetic materials. Multiple shielding effectiveness tests were performed to conclude that the Mission Darkness TitanRF Faraday Fabric was certified "compliant" for High-Altitude Electromagnetic Protection for Ground Based C41 Facilities. The results ensure that the material surpasses military shielding requirements to handle natural or man-made EMPs.

We tested single, double, and triple fabric layers to understand how fabric layering relates to the increase in signal attenuation. The images below show the shielding effectiveness results of various layers. *This should be taken into consideration when building your own faraday enclosure, to ensure that you are using enough layers for specific attenuation needs.

The frequency range investigated and all test results are noted in the report generated by Keystone Compliance.

TitanRF Faraday Fabric Panel can be used for constructing signal proof rooms and tents. In order to create a fully shielded room, there cannot be any opening or holes, otherwise signal may penetrate. We recommend using two layers of the fabric panel on the floor, ceiling, and walls, ensuring that the material is overlapping on all sides and seams. *Construction instructions are highly dependent on your specific application, and will vary depending on the size and type of room.

• • You can use various construction methods to line the walls of your room or enclosure with TitanRF Faraday Fabric. Methods include placing the fabric between drywall, gluing it with a general contact adhesive (apply a thin layer and avoid using heavy adhesive), using TitanRF Faraday Tape to tape it in place or connect multiple fabric sheets, etc. Driving screws through the fabric may or may not be acceptable (use sparingly).
  • For inhabitable faraday rooms or tents, you may need to incorporate additional components such as EMI/RFI shielded vents, windows, filters, etc., as well as a signal proof doorway. *Read the construction section on the TitanRF Faraday Fabric page for more detailed information.
