OBEX, a company out of California, takes its name from the Latin word for "barrier". They specialize in office "barriers" or panel extenders that allow open-plan type designed spaces to customize workspaces with privacy panels that add height to existing cubicle walls or attach to the edge of a desk or worktable. With an array of materials and with or without acoustic dampening capabilities, these panels are highly customizable to meet your office space needs. (See here for poly-carbonate or acrylic models.) These acoustical desk-mounted privacy panels can be used to ensure maximum privacy and productivity for each work area, separate different departments, or bring all cubicles up to the same height for a uniform appearance. OBEX makes it simple to pick a fabric that seamlessly blends with your existing office theme. Just call us if you have any questions about these OBEX dividers and we'll be glad to offer assistance with your order! 1-888-355-4999.

NRC
The Noise Reduction Coefficient determines how much sound a given material can absorb. Such materials are typically tested for mid-range frequencies (where the pitch of the human voice is located). The rating system is on a scale from 0 to 1 in ten increments. The closer the rating is to 1, the more effective it is at reducing sound. A higher NRC rating keeps the noise level within a cubicle low because the sound isn’t bouncing back into the interior of the cubicle.
STC
STC stands for Sound Transmission Class, which is a measurement used to express the sound transmission loss through a wall assembly. An STC rating of 30 represents a sound transmission loss of 30 dB. Humans perceive a loss of 10 dB as a 50% reduction of sound. The taller a cubicle panel is, the better it will be at reducing noise transmission from one work area to the next. Obex acoutstical tile/soundboard has an NRC rating of .35 (ASTM Method C423) and an STC Rating of 26 (ASTM Method E90.)
