Sale price$4,500.00

Product Overview

The STURDX Climate Series™ 20U IP66 Weatherproof Stainless Steel Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner (24" × 24" / 600 × 600 mm) is engineered for outdoor applications where compact size, corrosion resistance, and precision climate control are essential for protecting critical electronics. Delivering 20U of rack capacity inside a compact 24-inch × 24-inch (600 × 600 mm) footprint, it is ideally suited for edge networking, industrial automation, security infrastructure, and utility communication systems installed in harsh outdoor environments.

Manufactured from 304 stainless steel with insulated double-wall construction, the enclosure is designed to withstand salt spray, humidity, chemical vapors, washdown environments, and airborne contaminants while maintaining a stable internal operating environment. For offshore, marine, and highly corrosive industrial applications, 316 stainless steel construction is available upon request.

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.

Premium Protection Where Space Is Limited

Compact outdoor installations are often exposed to the harshest environments. Coastal communication points, food production facilities, pharmaceutical plants, wastewater treatment systems, and industrial process controls frequently require a cabinet that occupies minimal space while providing maximum protection against both corrosion and temperature extremes.

The 24" × 24" (600 × 600 mm) Climate Series™ enclosure addresses these challenges by combining corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction with active climate control inside a compact footprint. This allows sensitive electronics to operate reliably year-round while reducing maintenance requirements and extending equipment 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
