STURDX Climate Series™ 20U IP66 Weatherproof Galvanized Steel Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner | 32" × 32" (800 × 800 mm) | 19-Inch Rack Enclosure

Product Overview
The STURDX Climate Series™ 20U IP66 Weatherproof Galvanized Steel Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner (32" × 32" / 800 × 800 mm) is engineered for outdoor installations where organized equipment layouts, reliable cooling performance, and comfortable maintenance access are essential. Combining 20U of rack capacity with a spacious 32-inch × 32-inch (800 × 800 mm) footprint, this enclosure provides additional interior width for modern networking equipment while maintaining a practical cabinet height for field deployment.
Constructed from heavy-duty galvanized steel with insulated double-wall construction, the enclosure protects critical electronics from rain, dust, humidity, solar radiation, and extreme outdoor temperatures. The larger footprint allows installers to separate communication and power cabling, improve airflow around equipment, and simplify future maintenance without increasing unnecessary rack height.
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.

Made in USA Cooling Systems
STURDX also offers Made in USA IP66 stainless steel enclosure air conditioners for projects requiring BABA compliance, domestic manufacturing, or higher environmental protection.
Extra Width for Better Cooling Performance
Efficient thermal management depends on more than the air conditioner itself. The 32" × 32" (800 × 800 mm) Climate Series™ enclosure provides additional interior width that allows conditioned air to circulate more freely around installed equipment while reducing cable congestion that can restrict airflow.
The spacious layout also enables cleaner separation between power distribution, networking hardware, and fiber infrastructure, helping technicians maintain organized installations that are easier to inspect, expand, and service throughout the enclosure's operational life.
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 climate-controlled 20U cabinet with an 800 × 800 mm footprint?
It provides generous installation space, improved cable organization, and reliable active cooling while maintaining a practical cabinet height for medium-capacity outdoor applications.
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.
Why choose a wider enclosure instead of a deeper one?
A wider enclosure improves side-to-side cable organization, provides better technician access to installed equipment, and creates a cleaner layout for communication and power components without increasing cabinet depth.
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.
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?
