Guard Box Basic | IP66 Outdoor Cabinet

IP66 Outdoor Cabinet Installation Options

IP66 outdoor cabinet Guard Box Basic supports pole (mast) mounting, wall mounting and field installation. Cable entry and grounding points are positioned for practical site installation and maintenance.

Cabinet Construction

The enclosure is manufactured using mono-block welding to eliminate structural gaps, improve rigidity and reduce long-term deformation risk in outdoor use. The body is made from DX51D+Zn275 galvanized steel with outdoor-grade polyester coating for corrosion resistance.

A fully gasketed door design helps maintain consistent IP performance in real field conditions. The insulated structure is designed to reduce temperature swings caused by direct sunlight and ambient changes.

Thermal Management

Outdoor cabinets are exposed to direct sunlight and rapid ambient temperature changes. Guard Box Basic uses insulation and controlled airflow to support stable internal operating conditions. Thermostat-controlled fans operate only when needed, helping reduce dust intake while maintaining airflow efficiency.
