STURDX Climate Series™ 12U IP66 Weatherproof Stainless Steel Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner | 24" × 18" (600 × 450 mm) | 19-Inch Rack Enclosure

Product Overview
The STURDX Climate Series™ 12U IP66 Weatherproof Stainless Steel Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner (24" × 18" / 600 × 450 mm) is engineered for outdoor installations where compact dimensions, active enclosure cooling, and superior corrosion resistance are essential. Designed for edge networking, industrial automation, wireless communications, and critical infrastructure, the 12U platform provides dependable environmental protection while maintaining a compact footprint ideal for wall-mounted and pole-mounted installations.
Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, the enclosure is built to withstand salt spray, coastal humidity, chemical vapors, washdown environments, and corrosive industrial atmospheres. It is an excellent solution for marine vessels, offshore platforms, ports, shipyards, marinas, coastal telecommunications, wastewater treatment facilities, food processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and chemical processing industries. For highly corrosive offshore applications, 316 stainless steel construction is available upon request.
The cabinet is specifically engineered for 300W (approximately 1,000 BTU/hr) enclosure air conditioners and is available with either 110V AC or DC-powered cooling systems, making it suitable for conventional electrical service, solar-powered installations, battery backup systems, and remote infrastructure.
Unlike larger outdoor enclosures, the cabinet features a single lockable front door to maximize usable interior space. Every enclosure includes a heavy-duty wall mounting bracket and floor plinth as standard equipment, while an optional heavy-duty pole mounting bracket allows installation on communication poles, utility poles, traffic infrastructure, and wireless network sites.
