Faraday Defense CYBER FX Low Frequency Barrier for Magnetic Fields | 25.5 in x 1 ft

The Faraday Defense CYBER FX Low Frequency Barrier Shields Magnetic Fields up to 1000 Hz, Including 60 Hz Electrical Systems

The Faraday Defense CYBER FX Low Frequency Barrier is a nickel-free magnetic shielding film for AC or DC magnetic fields from 0 to 1000 Hz. It is 25.5 in wide and 1 mm thick, and it can be cut, bent and shaped to size. Faraday describes it as strong but thin and lightweight, suited to high field strength applications that need high saturation and good permeability.

It's for people who want to shield magnetic fields from electrical systems, appliances, speakers and magnets, or line walls, floors and vehicle firewalls. It is made for low frequency magnetic fields rather than radio frequency signals.

CYBER FX Low Frequency Barrier Features

Shields Magnetic Fields From 0 to 1000 Hz

Faraday Defense says the barrier works with AC or DC magnetic fields from 0 to 1000 Hz and shields electrical systems of 60 Hz. It has an initial permeability of 500, a relative permeability of 7000 and a saturation induction of 2.0 T.

Cut, Bend and Shape It to Size

Faraday notes that, unlike other films, CYBER FX can be cut, bent and shaped to size, so it can follow the surface you're covering. Cut it with sheet metal tools. Faraday recommends an oscillating tool with a metal cutting blade.

Several Ways to Attach It

The film is manageable and attaches with glue, screws or rivets, so you can fix it to walls, floors or the item you're covering.

Nickel-Free Construction

The film contains no nickel. It is laminated with a 0.005 in glass reinforced polypropylene tape, and Faraday lists a Curie temperature of 740°C (1364°F).

Real-World Applications

Appliances and speakers. Faraday lists covering magnets, speakers, vacuums and refrigerators among its uses.

Vehicles. Shape it to cover car floors and firewalls.

Walls and floors. Line walls and floors for wider coverage, including around 60 Hz electrical systems.

Practical Comparison

CYBER FX Versus an RF Shielding Fabric

A conductive RF shielding fabric is made for radio frequency signals. CYBER FX is a magnetic shielding film for AC or DC magnetic fields from 0 to 1000 Hz. Choose it when the source you want to shield is an electrical system, appliance, speaker or magnet.

CYBER FX Versus a Rigid Magnetic Shield

A rigid shield comes in a fixed shape. CYBER FX can be cut, bent and shaped to fit the surface you're covering, then fixed with glue, screws or rivets.

Buyer Guidance

Cutting and Installing

Edges are sharp, so handle the film and cut pieces with care. Use sheet metal tools or an oscillating tool with a metal cutting blade. The barrier tolerates 32°F to 140°F. Its polypropylene tape is UV sensitive, so cover the film if the installation is exposed to direct sunlight.

Planning Your Coverage

Each unit is 25.5 in wide by 1 ft long. Faraday lists the weight at 3.5 kg/m², or about 15 lb per 10 ft length, so choose fasteners that can hold the weight.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You want to shield 60 Hz electrical systems
• You need a nickel-free magnetic barrier
• You want a film you can cut and bend to shape

Common Questions

What Fields Does CYBER FX Shield?

AC or DC magnetic fields from 0 to 1000 Hz, including 60 Hz electrical systems. Faraday doesn't give an RF dB rating for this barrier.

Can I Use It Outdoors?

The laminating tape is UV sensitive, so Faraday says to cover the film if it is exposed to direct sunlight. The barrier tolerates 32°F to 140°F.

Does It Contain Nickel?

No. Faraday describes the CYBER FX film as nickel-free.
