Hello Group, I have been asked to investigate the possibility of changing one of our chassis’ material from Steel to some type of polycarbonate, the motivation is strictly cost.
There will be some metalized shielding on the inside. I don’t have all the specification on the shielding properties at this time. The product is roughly a 1Ux12”x 12” ITE product AC or 48VDC ~35W power two port RJ45 Ethernet for UTP. FCC, UL, NEBS Type 2 and 4. I am concerned about the ESD and EMI aspects as well as other issues such as grounding. I will be interested in hearing any horror stories or outright restriction or test hurdles that maybe encountered.
