STURDX Climate Series™ 26U IP66 Weatherproof Galvanized Steel Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner | 32" × 40" (800 × 1000 mm) | 19-Inch Rack Enclosure

Product Overview
The STURDX Climate Series™ 26U IP66 Weatherproof Galvanized Steel Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner (32" × 40" / 800 × 1000 mm) is engineered for outdoor installations where generous equipment space, stable operating temperatures, and simplified maintenance are essential. Combining 26U of rack capacity with an expansive 32-inch × 40-inch (800 × 1000 mm) footprint, it provides the working room required for large industrial systems, enterprise networking equipment, and complex cable infrastructure while maintaining dependable environmental protection.
Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanized steel with insulated double-wall construction, the enclosure protects sensitive electronics from rain, dust, moisture, solar heat, and fluctuating outdoor temperatures. Its oversized interior allows installers to separate power and data cabling more effectively, improve service accessibility, and accommodate larger equipment without creating congested installations.
What sets the Climate Series™ apart is the STURDX Hybrid Cooling Ready™ architecture. Every enclosure is factory-prepared for closed-loop air conditioning while incorporating concealed fan provisions protected by removable blanking plates. This unique configuration allows owners to introduce optional filtered fan ventilation later if site conditions change—without cutting, welding, or replacing the enclosure.

Built for Equipment That Requires Room to Grow
Many outdoor infrastructure projects eventually expand beyond their original equipment list. Additional switches, larger UPS systems, industrial controllers, battery backup units, and communication hardware can quickly consume valuable cabinet space.
The 32" × 40" (800 × 1000 mm) Climate Series™ enclosure was designed with long-term scalability in mind. Its generous interior allows technicians to install equipment with proper spacing, maintain organized cable pathways, and perform maintenance without removing adjacent hardware. Combined with climate-controlled operation, the enclosure helps maximize both equipment performance and service life in demanding outdoor environments.
STURDX Hybrid Cooling Ready™
Unlike traditional outdoor enclosures that commit users to a single cooling method, the Climate Series™ is designed to evolve with your project.
Every cabinet ships configured for sealed air-conditioned operation, while removable blanking plates preserve the option to install filtered fan ventilation in the future.
This flexibility can be valuable when:
-
Equipment is upgraded
-
Thermal loads change
-
Seasonal temperatures vary
-
Maintenance is being performed
-
Future operating requirements evolve

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a 26U cabinet with an 800 × 1000 mm footprint?
It provides extensive interior workspace for larger equipment, structured cable management, and future expansion while avoiding the unnecessary rack height of larger enclosures.
What is STURDX Hybrid Cooling Ready™?
STURDX Hybrid Cooling Ready™ is our factory-prepared cooling platform that allows every Climate Series™ cabinet to operate as a sealed air-conditioned enclosure while remaining ready for optional filtered fan ventilation if future operating conditions require it.
Which air conditioner capacities are available?
Standard enclosure air conditioners are available in 300W, 600W, and 2000W capacities, with larger 220V systems up to 6000W also available for high-performance outdoor applications.
Are Cooling Only models available?
Yes. In addition to Cooling • Heating • Dehumidifier models, Cooling Only + Remote Access configurations are also available.
Is this enclosure suitable for NEMA applications?
Yes. The galvanized steel enclosure is suitable for applications commonly requiring NEMA 4 performance. Contact STURDX if your project requires a specific certified NEMA enclosure.
Why choose a larger footprint with only 26U of rack space?
Many industrial applications benefit more from increased interior width and depth than additional rack height. The larger enclosure improves cable routing, technician access, equipment spacing, and future upgrade flexibility.
Does the cabinet include lifting eyebolts?
Yes. Factory-installed lifting eyebolts simplify transportation, unloading, crane handling, and positioning during installation.
Can STURDX customize this enclosure?
Yes. Climate Series™ cabinets can be customized with different dimensions, electrical integration, cable entry locations, OEM branding, enclosure cooling systems, gland plates, rack accessories, and project-specific configurations for virtually any outdoor application.
