Outdoor Network Cabinet for Power, Network and Control Equipment
Engineered for complex project sites, this outdoor equipment cabinet protects sensitive electronics from harsh environments. Whether you need a waterproof network cabinet for telecom gear or an outdoor electrical cabinet for scenic lighting, structural design must match your specific requirements. We review your equipment list, cabinet drawing, wiring diagram, cable entry, and installation method to ensure seamless on-site deployment.
Custom Layout
Based on your wiring diagram
Equipment Layout Planning
Different outdoor projects use varying sizes of network switches, industrial power supplies, and control modules. We review your internal layout to ensure mounting plates, wiring space, maintenance door directions, and cooling spaces are perfectly matched.
Network & Signal
Space allocation for network switches, routers, and signal devices based on device dimensions and cable bending radius.
Power & Control
Layout planning for industrial power supply boards, control modules, and AC contactors (can be discussed if required).
Distribution
Multifunctional socket positioning and terminal blocks arranged to prevent blocking equipment maintenance.
Monitoring
Placement for temperature control boards and sensor modules to accurately reflect internal cabinet conditions.
Solving Outdoor Site Constraints
Outdoor devices need more than just a metal box. We design cabinet structures responding directly to environmental and project-level constraints.
Switches, routers, servers, or other network devices can be easily integrated
Cable entry points are equipped with cable reels or sealed junction boxes to simplify wiring and prevent environmental intrusion
The cabinet is equipped with climate control modules—fans, heaters, or dehumidifiers
Make sure your network equipment stays clean, cool, and in top working condition
Cable entry points are equipped with cable reels or sealed junction boxes
Thermostat box with waterproof, dustproof, anti-corrosion, heating, dehumidification function
Waterproof certification up to IP65
F6 medium efficiency air filter, breathable and efficient, dustproof, anti-mosquito function
Built-in temperature control probe and temperature and humidity sensor
box temperature is higher than the preset value (35 ℃) ≥ 2 ℃, the fan cooling system to start, below the preset value of ≤ 2 ℃ fan stops working.
The projection port adopts 95% light transmittance optical ultra-white glass.
Cabinet Structure Breakdown
Every component is engineered to protect your investment. Materials and layouts are configured based on your specific cabinet drawing and project requirements.
Cabinet Body Materials
Available in 201 stainless steel, 304 stainless steel, or galvanized plate. Material selection depends on corrosion levels and outdoor installation environments.
Waterproof Sealing Structure
Engineered door gaskets and overlapping metal lips prevent water ingress during heavy rain, protecting internal electrical components.
Internal Mounting Plate & Brackets
Customized to match your equipment list dimensions, ensuring secure installation for switches, power modules, and controllers.
Maintenance Door & Cable Entry
Door opening direction and bottom/side cable entry points are configured to match site wiring diagrams and field service access.
Ventilation & Cooling Structure
Airflow paths and fan mounts designed to balance heat dissipation with waterproof integrity.
Electrical & Sensor Options
Multifunctional sockets, AC contactor options, temperature control board matching, and alarm options (smoke/flooding) can be discussed according to project requirements.
Power Distribution & Wiring Design
A successful outdoor installation relies on logical electrical layout. We review your wiring diagram to configure terminal layouts, cable routing, and internal socket positions, ensuring maintenance clearance is never compromised by tangled wires.
- Multifunctional sockets arranged according to internal power layout.
- 32A AC contactor options can be discussed if required by the project.
- Terminal layout matched with Industrial Power Supply Board integration.
- Cable routing designed to separate strong and weak currents.
Thermal & Humidity Management
Sealing a cabinet for waterproofing inherently traps heat. We balance these factors by discussing ventilation, fan cooling, and environmental controls based on your equipment heat load and site temperature.
Intelligent Environmental Control
By matching the cabinet with a Temperature Control Board and integrated sensors, the internal environment is actively managed to protect sensitive electronics.
Cooling Logic (Example Configuration)
When box temperature is higher than the preset value (e.g., 35 ℃) ≥ 2 ℃, the fan cooling system starts. When it drops below the preset value ≤ 2 ℃, the fan stops working.
Heating & Dehumidification Logic
If temperature ≤ 5 ℃ and humidity ≥ 85%, the heating module starts. Warming stops when temperature reaches 10 ℃ and humidity falls ≤ 75%.
Installation Method Selection
Different mounting methods dictate back plate design, base structure, and maintenance access. Load, wind exposure, and structural safety should be reviewed by the project engineering team according to local site requirements.
Wall-Mounted
Site Constraint: Installed on building facades or retaining walls. Requires confirmation of wall load-bearing capacity and rear mounting hole positions.
Benefits: Saves ground space, keeps equipment away from ground moisture.
Pole-Mounted
Site Constraint: Used for smart city or surveillance poles. Requires specific pole clamps and structural review for wind resistance.
Benefits: Ideal for street-level deployment and distributed network nodes.
Floor-Standing
Site Constraint: Parks and plazas. Needs a concrete base, bottom cable entry confirmation, and plinth design to prevent flooding.
Benefits: Supports larger equipment loads and extensive power distribution.
Project-Frame Mounted
Site Constraint: Integrated into custom AV trusses or projector scaffolding. Dimensions and mounting points must strictly match project drawings.
Benefits: Seamless integration with complex outdoor projection or AV systems.
Customization for Project & OEM Buyers
We don't just sell standard boxes. Customization starts from your equipment list, cabinet drawing, wiring diagram, installation method, and site photos. For repeated project points, maintaining consistent cabinet layout is critical.
Design & Review
Review cabinet dimensions, mounting holes, internal mounting plate, cable entry direction, door opening direction, and socket layout.
Integration Planning
Confirm control board position, sensor placement, and electrical component spacing based on the wiring diagram.
Sample & Mass Production
OEM projects require sample approval before the final project order, ensuring mass production stability across all deployment points.
Application Scenarios
Designed to protect power, network, and control devices across diverse outdoor engineering projects.
Outdoor Projector System
Often paired with an Outdoor Projector Enclosure. Houses media players, network switches, and power distribution for projection mapping projects.
Scenic Night-Tour Control
High humidity environments requiring strict waterproof sealing and sensor modules to protect lighting controllers and signal devices.
Smart City Equipment
Pole-mounted or street-level cabinets requiring organized cable entry and consistent socket layout for surveillance and IoT networks.
Outdoor Advertising
Manages industrial power supplies and signal controllers for large LED displays, requiring robust heat dissipation and maintenance access.
Telecom & Communication
Provides secure, climate-controlled environments for communication modules with specific terminal layouts and battery backups.
Industrial Enclosures
Harsh factory yards or mining sites needing 304 stainless steel construction, AC contactors, and heavy-duty environmental protection.
