Description
Steel Enclosure RF Equalizer FREQ MHz Boost dB Diff BNC 5x4x3 w/ Power Supply
This is a custom-built steel enclosure measuring approximately 5x4x3 inches housing a self-contained RF equalizer circuit assembly. The front panel features labeled controls including a FREQ. MHz frequency selector with a numeric dial display, a BOOST DB rotary 10-turn potentiometer, and a set of four BNC connectors grouped under a DIFF (differential) label. The side panel provides an additional panel-mount BNC output and a 4-pin circular connector. The rear carries a standard IEC AC inlet, a fuse holder, and a red power indicator LED. Internally the enclosure is populated with a PCB containing RF circuitry including inductors and passive components, along with several discrete assemblies described below.

Applications
Bench-built RF equalizer enclosures of this type are used in signal conditioning, cable equalization, and test/measurement setups where a frequency-dependent gain adjustment (boost in dB at a set frequency in MHz) is needed to compensate for cable loss or frequency roll-off in a signal path. The differential BNC input configuration suggests use with balanced or differential RF or video signal sources. The built-in regulated 5V supply and opto coupler indicate this assembly was likely part of a larger test bench, ATE (automated test equipment) setup, or a production-line IC testing fixture. The IC test fixture board inside is consistent with a functional tester or parametric test jig from a production or R&D environment, probably dating from the 1980s or early 1990s based on the construction style, Corcom line filter generation, and Computer Products Boschert HM530 power supply. This unit is being sold for parts, component harvesting, or as the basis for a repair or rebuild project.
This unbranded steel enclosure RF equalizer (5x4x3) is being sold as-is for parts or repair. The unit was inspected and appears to be in good cosmetic condition overall — the enclosure shows only light surface wear consistent with age and bench use. The front panel labels, BNC connectors, FREQ MHz dial, and Boost dB 10-turn potentiometer are all intact and visible. The rear IEC inlet and fuse holder are present. Internally, the Computer Products Boschert HM530 5V/3A power supply module, Corcom line filter, opto coupler, IC test fixture PCB, and associated wiring are all present as photographed. No functionality testing has been performed; the item is sold strictly for parts, repair, or as a component source. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
