Extreme temperature fluctuations and high humidity levels can have a serious impact on telecommunications gear. These factors may cause overheating or freezing, corrosion of metal components, and even short circuits. Therefore, when installing devices on streets, along roads, within industrial facilities, and in other locations, properly selected external comms cabinets are essential.

These enclosures should be purchased exclusively from a specialized telecommunications equipment manufacturer with a proven track record of completed projects for well-known companies. One such manufacturer is IPCOM-Group

What Do External Comms Cabinets Protect Equipment From?

Telecom street cabinets are designed and upgraded to ensure that the devices inside can operate in virtually any weather conditions. They provide protection against rain, snow, strong winds, dust, break-ins, heat, cold, and short-term power outages.

Network Cabinet with Cooling – Protecting Equipment Even at +55°C

IPCOM-Group External Comms Cabinets regulate the internal temperature within the range of +5 to +35°C. This is ensured by an efficient air conditioning system based on a freon cooling unit, with a cooling capacity of at least 500 W. Tests have shown that the enclosure can withstand external temperatures up to +55°C.

Telecom Street Cabinets – Equipment Operation in Freezing Temperatures Down to -40°C!

In extreme cold, the equipment is effectively protected thanks to an advanced climate control system that can be managed remotely. Additionally, outdoor equipment enclosures are insulated with 10 mm thick foil-coated foamed polyethylene or a sandwich panel, depending on the buyer’s preference. IPCOM-Group also offers models with built-in heaters.

IP55 Enclosure – No Snow, Rain, or Dust Penetration!

Thanks to advanced engineering solutions, including a special coating, sealed doors, and an IP-rated design, the device is fully protected against unwanted moisture and dust ingress. The IPCOM-Group comms cabinet operates efficiently in humidity levels up to 98% and wind speeds up to 49 m/s. Based on test measurements, the cabinet has been assigned an IP55 protection rating, which is crucial in regions with significant climate fluctuations.

Built-in Solution for Power Outages

Emergency situations, such as disruptions caused by high-voltage line failures or excessive network load, can lead to temporary power outages. This has a harmful impact on the operation of telecommunications gear. To prevent this, our comms rack cabinet is equipped with a battery shelf. There is also an option to install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), providing several hours to resolve the issue.

External Comms Cabinets with Vandal-Resistant Properties by IPCOM-Group

To protect the enclosure from external damage and break-in attempts, 1.5 mm or 2 mm steel sheets have been used. This directly enhances the walls’ resistance to mechanical impact. Additionally, the cabinet is equipped with impact and door opening sensors, as well as an anti-burglary lock. It also features a reinforced internal structure for both the enclosure and the doors.

Remote Monitoring for Full Control

Modern telecom street cabinets cannot do without remote monitoring systems. These solutions enable continuous control of internal conditions within the enclosures. They allow users to check temperature and humidity levels, as well as door closure and integrity at any time. Even if the cabinets are located in hard-to-reach areas, users have full insight into their status. The systems also enable instant response to failures thanks to smoke, shock, and flood sensors, among others.

Conclusion

External Comms Cabinets, equipped with advanced technologies, ensure an optimal environment for storing telecommunications devices. Regardless of hot, freezing, or humid climates, the internal conditions of the enclosure allow the equipment to function properly.
