Product Overview

The STURDX Climate Series™ 26U IP66 Weatherproof Stainless Steel Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner (32" × 32" / 800 × 800 mm) is engineered for outdoor installations where equipment longevity depends on both superior corrosion resistance and stable internal temperatures. Offering 26U of rack capacity within a spacious 32-inch × 32-inch (800 × 800 mm) footprint, the enclosure creates an ideal environment for networking equipment, industrial automation systems, power distribution, and communication infrastructure that require both organized layouts and reliable thermal protection.

Manufactured from 304 stainless steel with insulated double-wall construction, the enclosure is built to perform in environments exposed to salt spray, humidity, chemical vapors, washdowns, and airborne contaminants. For offshore installations and highly corrosive industrial facilities, 316 stainless steel 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.

Engineered for Reliable Operation in Harsh Outdoor Conditions

Outdoor communication and control systems often operate continuously for years with limited maintenance opportunities. The 32" × 32" (800 × 800 mm) Climate Series™ enclosure was designed to support this reality by combining corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction with a spacious interior that simplifies equipment layout and routine servicing.

The additional cabinet width provides room for structured cable routing, power distribution hardware, industrial controllers, and high-performance networking equipment while allowing conditioned air to circulate efficiently around installed devices. The result is improved thermal consistency, easier maintenance, and greater long-term system reliability in corrosive environments.


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
