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

Product Overview
The STURDX Climate Series™ 32U IP66 Weatherproof Galvanized Steel Outdoor Network Cabinet with Air Conditioner (32" × 40" / 800 × 1000 mm) is engineered for outdoor installations where larger equipment, organized cable management, and dependable thermal control are essential. Its generous 32-inch × 40-inch (800 × 1000 mm)footprint provides ample interior space for high-density networking equipment while maintaining a sealed, climate-controlled environment in demanding outdoor conditions.
Constructed from heavy-duty galvanized steel with an insulated thermal design, the enclosure protects critical networking and electrical equipment from rain, dust, humidity, direct sunlight, and temperature fluctuations. The additional cabinet width and depth simplify cable routing, improve service accessibility, and provide room for future equipment 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.

High-Capacity Systems
For larger installations, STURDX also supplies:
-
220V / 60Hz models
-
Cooling capacities up to 6000W
-
Up to approximately 19,000 BTU/hr
Our engineers can help determine the appropriate cooling capacity based on your installed equipment.
Made in USA Cooling Systems
STURDX also offers Made in USA IP66 stainless steel enclosure air conditioners for projects requiring BABA compliance, domestic manufacturing, or higher environmental protection.
Built for High-Density Outdoor Infrastructure
Large outdoor installations often require considerably more than additional rack units. High-capacity switches, UPS systems, fiber distribution panels, industrial controllers, and power distribution equipment all demand generous installation space while generating substantial heat.
The 32" × 40" (800 × 1000 mm) Climate Series™ enclosure provides the working space required for organized cable routing, improved airflow around installed equipment, and easier maintenance. The larger enclosure also allows future expansion without immediately requiring a larger cabinet platform.
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
