MISSION DARKNESS Taperator
Construct Your RF Shielding Project Using the Taperator
The Mission Darkness™ Taperator provides fast, easy, one-handed tape application for constructing RF shielding enclosures and projects. The Taperator is intended for use with the TitanRF™ Faraday Tape (2″ width x 164′ length rolls). Tape application without the assistance of the Taperator is typically off-centered, strenuous, and inaccuracies can result in RF leakage. The Taperator firmly applies tape to flat seams, and has a retractable creasing wheel for taping inside corners. The ability to switch between the flat and angled roller is a unique feature that allows the user to effortlessly and evenly apply tape to all wall areas. The trigger actuated cut-off blade slices the tape free from the roll of tape at the end of runs.
The Taperator is especially useful when connecting multiple sheets of TitanRF™ Faraday Fabric and creating industrial signal-proof rooms or tents (military, law enforcement forensics, construction company, EMF/EMI reduction, IOT developer, etc.). Additional applications include shielding electronic devices from RF signals, defense against EMPs, EMF radiation reduction, DIY consumer RF shielding cages and enclosures, data security, and to enhance digital privacy.

Compatible with TitanRF Faraday Tape — 2″ Width X 164′ Length Rolls
The tape roll has protective cardboard walls with instructions printed on the side. There is adhesive backing on the bottom side that gets removed as you apply it to the surface. The tape is extremely strong and cannot be removed easily once in place (may damage the fabric if removed).
If using with TitanRF Faraday Fabric, place the sheets together and overlap at least one inch. Center the tape, and adhere to the FRONT AND BACK SIDES to ensure a secure RF seal. Smooth out air bubbles or wrinkles in the tape.

Scientifically Proven Performance, Lab Tested and Certified
TitanRF Faraday Tape Laboratory Testing, to Confirm Shielding Effectiveness Standards IEEE 299-2006
Testing Completed by Keystone Compliance Laboratory on October 7, 2020
IEEE 299-2006 is the standard test method for measuring the effectiveness of electromagnetic shielding enclosures and materials. A properly-shielded device will effectively retain all RF energy in its faraday enclosure and keep all external RF isolated. The TitanRF Faraday Tape is advertised as a conductive material that can be used to isolate devices by blocking the frequency range most mobile devices and electronics transmit/operate within. To provide validation for this claim, the shielding effectiveness test measured how well the tape shields frequencies between 1.5GHz to 40GHz. The positive test results provides authentication of its shielding abilities.
