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.
STV-HC-26U600 Cabinet Only (Fan / Cooling Ready)
This configuration includes the enclosure prepared for airflow-based cooling systems or external cooling integration.
It is suitable for installations where heat load is low to moderate or where external cooling systems will be applied separately. The cabinet provides full IP55 / NEMA 3 protection, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor environments exposed to dust and heavy rain.
OPTION 2: 26U Cabinet with Integrated A/C Systems
This configuration includes integrated air conditioning options available in 300W, 600W, and 2000W capacities, with both110V AC and 48V DC power supply options, allowing full flexibility across different infrastructure types including telecom DC systems and grid-powered installations.
Our air conditioners are available in a wide range of capacities and features, with models ranging from 1,000 BTU to 19,000 BTU. Options include cooling-only units, as well as models with additional heating and dehumidification functions. Remote access features such as Ethernet or RS485 connectivity are also available.
