Shielded vent panels for ventilation and HVAC
Honeycomb vents are used to shield openings for air ventilation and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning) against undesirable electro-magnetic waves. The cell structures are made from aluminum.
The honeycomb vent panels are standard produced in a rigid aluminum frame, but the frame can optionally be produced in stainless steel, brass or nickel. The frame can either be pre-drilled, conducted with captive fasteners or with flow drilled thread holes all to your specifications.
If a very high shielding level is required, the use of cross-cell honeycombs is recommended. The cross cells are made from two pieces of 6.35 mm or 12,7mm thick honeycomb within a single frame. By using two layers of honeycomb material the shielding performance will improve dramatically at only a slight expense of increased air flow resistance. |
Single or cross cell honeycomb
According to the preferred attenuation level we can deliver standard or cross cell honeycombs. (Click on the image below for more information)  |  | Crossed cell honeycomb | Normal Honeycomb |
Approximately 95% of the honeycomb vents are made according to customer specifications, fulfilling the customers requirements and technical specifications. (Just send us your drawing). Standard delivery time: less than two weeks. |
Benefits - Light weight material/frame
- High EMI/RFI shielding performance
- Very low air flow resistance
- Reduction of turbulence air flows
|
Options - Cross-cell honeycomb for extra high EMI/RFI shielding performance
- Slant honeycomb 30°, 45°, 60° for outdoor rainproof applications

- Polyurethane filter for dust protection
 - Mechanical protection against damage
- Stainless steel version
- Brass version

Frame Construction types
We can deliver our standard honeycombs with 4 different frame types (Please see the picture below). The frame type is depending on the thickness of the honeycomb material used and the amount of honeycomb layers used (Up to 4 layers in one frame is possible)

Ordering Information
All honeycomb vents are made according to customers specifications, so there are no standard part numbers.
When ordering honeycomb vents, the following information should be provided: frame style, dimensions, quantity and gasket material.
The standard material for gaskets is an Endless gasket 8100 series, thickness 2-4 mm, depending on outer dimensions.
