STURDX Climate Series™ 42U IP66 Weatherproof Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner | 32" × 32" (800 × 800 mm) | Galvanized Steel | 19-Inch Rack Enclosure

Product Overview
Outdoor electronic equipment is becoming more powerful—and with increased performance comes increased heat. The STURDX Climate Series™ 42U IP66 Weatherproof Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner (32" × 32" / 800 × 800 mm) is designed to keep critical equipment operating within safe temperature ranges while protecting it from rain, dust, humidity, and harsh outdoor environments.
Its 800 mm (32-inch) wide enclosure gives installers valuable lateral workspace, making it easier to separate power and network cabling, organize fiber infrastructure, and service equipment without disturbing adjacent components. The result is a cleaner installation that is easier to maintain throughout the life of the project.
Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanized steel with a thermally insulated enclosure design, the Climate Series™ combines active cooling capability with dependable outdoor protection for telecommunications, industrial automation, utilities, renewable energy, transportation, and smart infrastructure applications.

Organized Cooling for Modern Network Infrastructure
Cooling performance isn't just about the air conditioner—it also depends on how equipment is arranged.
The 800 mm wide enclosure gives installers more freedom to:
-
Separate warm and cool air paths
-
Improve cable organization
-
Reduce cable congestion
-
Install larger power distribution assemblies
-
Position equipment for easier maintenance
-
Improve accessibility around active devices
This wider layout helps simplify installation while supporting long-term system reliability.
STURDX Hybrid Cooling Ready™
Every Climate Series™ cabinet is designed with future flexibility in mind.
The enclosure operates as a sealed closed-loop cooling system using an enclosure air conditioner while retaining the ability to accept optional filtered fan kits through factory-prepared openings protected by removable blanking plates.
This allows operators to adapt cooling strategies over the life of the installation without replacing or modifying the cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose an 800 mm wide climate-controlled cabinet?
An 800 mm wide enclosure provides more lateral workspace for organizing cables, separating power and communication wiring, improving airflow around equipment, and simplifying maintenance.
What is STURDX Hybrid Cooling Ready™?
STURDX Hybrid Cooling Ready™ is our factory-prepared cooling platform that supports sealed closed-loop air conditioning while allowing optional filtered fan ventilation to be added later using removable blanking plates.
Can the cabinet operate with filtered fans?
Yes. Depending on ambient temperatures and equipment heat load, optional filtered fan ventilation may be suitable for certain applications. When greater cooling performance is needed, the enclosure can return to sealed air-conditioned operation.
Are galvanized and stainless steel air conditioners available?
Yes. Standard enclosure air conditioners are available with galvanized steel or stainless steel housings. STURDX also offers Made in USA IP66 stainless steel air conditioners for projects requiring BABA compliance.
Why isn't the air conditioner factory-installed?
Unless requested otherwise, the cabinet is shipped with the air conditioner packaged separately to help reduce the risk of shipping damage. The enclosure is factory-prepared with the required mounting cutout for quick on-site installation.
Does the cabinet include lifting eyebolts?
Yes. Every floor-standing Climate Series™ cabinet includes factory-installed lifting eyebolts for transportation, crane lifting, and installation.
Can this cabinet be customized?
Yes. STURDX offers custom dimensions, enclosure modifications, electrical integration, OEM branding, cable entry options, and project-specific cooling solutions for virtually any outdoor application.
