More Workspace Without Additional Height

Many outdoor projects require extra installation space rather than additional rack units. The 32" × 32" (800 × 800 mm)enclosure provides the ideal solution by increasing interior width while maintaining a practical 20U rack height.

The additional workspace simplifies fiber routing, power distribution, and cable separation while making equipment easier to install and service. Technicians benefit from improved visibility inside the enclosure, allowing faster maintenance and reducing the likelihood of cable congestion as systems expand over time.
