STURDX Climate Series™ 20U IP66 Weatherproof Stainless Steel Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner | 32" × 40" (800 × 1000 mm) | 19-Inch Rack Enclosure

Product Overview
The STURDX Climate Series™ 20U IP66 Weatherproof Stainless Steel Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner (32" × 40" / 800 × 1000 mm) is engineered for outdoor applications where large equipment layouts, premium corrosion resistance, and precision climate control must work together to ensure uninterrupted operation. Featuring 20U of rack capacity inside a spacious 32-inch × 40-inch (800 × 1000 mm) footprint, the enclosure is designed for installations that prioritize generous working space over additional rack height.
Manufactured from 304 stainless steel with insulated double-wall construction, the enclosure withstands harsh outdoor environments including coastal regions, marine facilities, wastewater treatment plants, chemical processing sites, food manufacturing, and pharmaceutical production. For offshore and highly corrosive applications, 316 stainless steelconstruction is available upon request.
The oversized interior allows installers to accommodate large networking hardware, industrial computers, UPS systems, power distribution assemblies, and extensive fiber optic routing while maintaining excellent accessibility for installation, maintenance, and future expansion.
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.

Maximum Interior Space for Mission-Critical Outdoor Equipment
Some outdoor installations demand as much interior working space as possible while maintaining a moderate rack height. The 32" × 40" (800 × 1000 mm) Climate Series™ enclosure provides this balance by creating a spacious environment for equipment installation, cable organization, and long-term maintenance without unnecessarily increasing cabinet height.
Its large interior simplifies the installation of battery backup systems, industrial automation equipment, enterprise networking hardware, fiber distribution assemblies, and power distribution components. The additional space also improves conditioned airflow around equipment, helping maintain stable operating temperatures while giving technicians unobstructed access during maintenance and future upgrades.
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 × 1000 mm footprint?
This configuration provides extensive interior workspace for large equipment installations while maintaining stable operating temperatures and avoiding unnecessary cabinet height.
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.
