Steel & Plastic Enclosures
FAQs
Steel and plastic enclosures are designed to protect electrical, electronic, and communication equipment from dust, moisture, impact, and environmental conditions. They ensure safe housing for components in industrial, commercial, and outdoor installations, helping maintain equipment reliability and compliance with safety standards.
Steel enclosures offer high strength, impact resistance, and excellent electromagnetic shielding. They’re ideal for heavy duty or industrial environments where durability and protection are key.
Plastic enclosures provide lightweight, corrosion resistant protection, making them suitable for indoor or outdoor installations where exposure to water or chemicals may occur. They also offer better insulation properties for electrical safety.
Netceed offers a wide range of enclosure accessories to enhance installation and functionality, including:
- Mounting plates and brackets for secure equipment installation.
- Cable glands and gaskets to maintain ingress protection (IP) ratings.
- Locks and hinges for access control and security.
- Ventilation kits and filters to manage temperature and airflow.
- Fixing kits and earthing accessories to ensure proper grounding and compliance with electrical standards.
Consider:
- Environment, use steel for rugged, indoor, or high impact areas, plastic for corrosive or outdoor conditions.
- IP rating, check the enclosure’s protection level against dust and water (e.g. IP65 for outdoor use).
- Size and mounting type. match internal dimensions and mounting options (wall, floor, or pole) to your equipment.
- Thermal management, if the equipment generates heat, select enclosures compatible with fan trays or ventilation.
- Compliance, ensure the enclosure meets relevant safety and electrical standards (e.g. IEC, CE).
