20U Outdoor Network Cabinet – IP66 Rated with Advanced Cooling Options (Multiple Configurations)
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 20U Outdoor Network Cabinet is designed for large-scale outdoor deployments where maximum capacity, advanced thermal management, and long-term reliability are essential. Built for telecom infrastructure, battery systems, industrial automation, and high-power networking applications, this enclosure provides a complete outdoor solution combining IP66 weatherproof protection with integrated climate control systems.
Compared to smaller cabinets, the 20U platform offers significantly more internal space, allowing installation of high-density equipment, improved cable management, and proper airflow separation. It is specifically engineered for applications where heat load is high and environmental conditions are demanding, ensuring stable operation in real-world field environments. With multiple configurations available, including integrated air conditioning systems and large-format insulated double-wall designs, this cabinet provides the flexibility required for complex outdoor infrastructure projects.
You can find the air conditioning model that best suits your needs under the “Air Conditioners” page in the Products section. If you cannot find what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact us.
CUSTOM MANUFACTURING
If standard configurations do not meet your project requirements, custom production is available.
Options include:
- Custom dimensions and layouts
- Custom colors
- Stainless steel or aluminum construction
- Additional rear access, cutouts and integrations
Typical lead time: 4–6 weeks
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Please select the appropriate option from the dropdown menu based on your thermal load and infrastructure requirements.
A/C units can be installed on both IP55 and IP66 cabinets. All cabinets with fans are technically rated around IP55, since they require openings for airflow. IP66 enclosures, on the other hand, are completely sealed and are best used with air conditioning or for equipment that does not generate heat.
Unless you are operating in very harsh environments -such as cement factories, mining sites, heavy industrial facilities, or desert areas with intense dust - IP66 is generally unnecessary. For real-world outdoor applications, IP55 is more than sufficient and performs reliably under storms, heavy rain, wind, and typical environmental conditions.

- Integrated A/C systems (300W,600W, 2000W)
- Heating functions
- Dehumidifier systems
- Remote Access
- Airflow and ventilation solutions
This allows precise environmental control, preventing overheating, condensation, and equipment failure.
POWER OPTIONS FOR A/C SYSTEMS
The integrated air conditioning systems are available in both 110V AC and 48V DC configurations, allowing seamless integration with different power infrastructures and deployment scenarios.
110V AC A/C Units are ideal for standard grid-powered installations where reliable utility power is available. These units provide stable cooling performance and are commonly used in telecom sites, industrial facilities, and urban infrastructure.
48V DC A/C Units are specifically designed for telecom and off-grid applications where DC power systems are used. These are fully compatible with battery-based systems and renewable energy setups, making them suitable for remote sites, solar-powered installations, and telecom backup systems.
Offering both AC and DC-powered cooling solutions ensures flexibility in system design and allows the cabinet to be deployed across a wide range of environments without additional power conversion requirements.
Selecting the correct power type for your cooling system is critical for long-term efficiency and system reliability. In telecom and energy infrastructure projects, 48V DC solutions eliminate conversion losses and improve system integration, while 110V AC systems provide straightforward deployment in grid-connected environments. This flexibility positions the 16U cabinet as a complete infrastructure solution rather than a standard enclosure.
