Field Cabinets

Field cabinets are engineered to protect sensitive data network and electrical equipment in demanding outdoor environments, such as road traffic management and intelligent transport systems (ITS). These enclosures provide robust protection against harsh weather, corrosion, and physical impact, ensuring reliable operation in heavy-duty applications.

Constructed from powder-coated galvanised steel, our field cabinets meet industry standards with IP66 dust and water ingress protection and IK10 impact resistance. To enhance security, they feature recessed doors that prevent tampering and unauthorized access, along with secure locking mechanisms.

Additional design features include ventilation or cooling options for thermal management and durable construction for long-term performance. These advanced enclosures deliver reliable protection for critical electrical and communication equipment in outdoor heavy-duty settings.
