AF SERIES | RF ABSORBERS
Reticulated foam RF absorbers from 4.0 to 100+ GHz.
AF Series Reticulated Overview
The AF Series Reticulated Foam RF Absorber is a lightweight, open-cell polyurethane foam engineered for broadband attenuation from 4 to 100+ GHz. Its reticulated structure delivers excellent absorption performance across high-frequency bands, making it ideal for enclosures, chambers, and electronic systems where wideband RFI suppression is critical.
Unlike closed-cell foams, reticulated foam provides superior airflow and reduced reflection, allowing it to be used in designs where ventilation, weight reduction, and consistent performance are required. This absorber is often used in telecom infrastructure, test and measurement equipment, and 5G millimeter-wave applications, where stable, predictable attenuation is essential.
Available in sheet stock or custom-cut configurations, AF Series Reticulated Foam integrates easily into both small enclosures and large-scale test environments. Combined with our in-house fabrication services, customers receive ready-to-install absorber solutions that meet their frequency and dimensional requirements.
Key Features
- Broadband performance: Effective attenuation from 4 GHz to 100+ GHz
- Lightweight open-cell polyurethane foam construction
- Reduced reflection: Ideal for chambers, housings, and test setups
- Excellent high-frequency stability: Supports mmWave and 5G applications
- Available in standard sheets or custom-cut assemblies
- RoHS and REACH compliant materials
- Optional ground plane and adhesive backing for easy installation
Applications
- Telecom & Wireless: 5G mmWave infrastructure, base stations, antenna housings
- Test & Measurement: Anechoic chambers, free-space measurements, optical benches
- Aerospace & Defense: High-frequency enclosures, payload modules, sensor housings
- Electronics: Broadband suppression in high-speed digital and optical devices
