The Ultimate FAQ Guide to Outdoor Data Cabinets

What materials are used to manufacture outdoor data cabinets?

All materials used for regular electrical enclosure cabinets can be used for outdoor data cabinets as well. 

これには以下が含まれます 炭素鋼（軟鋼）, 亜鉛メッキ鋼、 そして ステンレス鋼—最も一般的なグレードは 304 または 316 です。 

Mild steel is usually duller, more magnetic, and more malleable than stainless steel because it is composed of only carbon and iron. 

この鋼も腐食しやすいです。

亜鉛メッキ鋼 is a steel alloy that has a protective layer of zinc on top. 

Zinc does not oxidize the same way steel does—instead of corroding, it builds up into a stronger substance. 

Galvanized steel is perfect for outdoor data cabinets because it would not rust and serve your business for a long time. 

ステンレス鋼は、炭素鋼にクロム、ニッケル、モリブデンを加えて作られます。 

Stainless steel outdoor data cabinet

鋼種 304 と 316 では、これらの添加剤の比率が異なります。 

グレード 316 はグレード 304 よりもわずかに強度が高く、塩水や酸性水に対する耐性が優れています。 

However, stainless steel grade 304 is cheaper and more common than grade 316 is.

Stainless steel is also ideal for weatherproof outdoor data cabinets. 

Of course, we also use アルミニウム合金 to manufacture our high-quality outdoor data cabinets. 

鋼に等級があるように、アルミニウム合金にはシリーズ番号（5052 シリーズまたは 6061 シリーズ）があります。 

Aluminum alloy 5052 is more weldable, meanwhile, 6061 has a higher resistance to corrosion and is more expensive. 

   Aluminum outdoor data cabinet

This material is resistant to solvents, petrochemicals, some acids, most sulfates and nitrates.

グラスファイバー can also be used to manufacture outdoor data cabinets.

非常に強度があり、熱を放散し、電気を絶縁します。 

It is created by mixing glass fibers with plastic, which enforces the structure of the material. 

Polycarbonate can also be used as material for outdoor data cabinets.

ポリカーボネートは強度があり、腐食に強いですが、衝撃に対してはそれほど強くありません。

Why are outdoor data cabinets useful?

Besides the first and foremost reason of providing weatherproof protection to data equipment installed outside, there are other reasons why outdoor data network enclosures are great.

Also, data equipment is often installed outdoors when there is not enough space for that indoors, or if the data equipment overheats in indoor spaces. 

• Outdoor data cabinets protect your network equipment from dust, UV exposure, air pollution, rain, snow, impact, vibrations, and microorganisms. 
• Outdoor data enclosures facilitate the mounting of wireless access points and other networking equipment. 

These cabinets are designed to be securely mounted via rails or pole mounting kits. 

Without an enclosure, hardware parts like routers or modems would have to be directly attached to surfaces, increasing the risk of all sorts of damage. 

• Wireless enclosures organize the equipment they house. 

All the components and cables can be housed in one spot, making management and maintenance easier.

Are there wireless outdoor data network cabinet enclosures?

Routers and modems can work wirelessly, which means that the data cabinets housing this hardware would not need cable knockouts and cable management systems.

This would lower the cost of manufacturing the enclosures, but it would also restrict the functionality of your outdoor data cabinets. 

This would make them niche, specialized for wireless devices only. 

However, a wireless outdoor equipment rack cabinet would allow installation in any location, since you would not need to worry about cables.

We would be happy to consult you on the design of your KDM wireless outdoor data cabinets!

What data equipment can be housed inside outdoor data cabinets?

Outdoor data cabinets can house all sorts of data equipment.

This equipment makes the functioning of any computerized and digital system possible. 

For example, you can house modems, routers, telecom equipment, data storage, processors, DTE, DCE, switches, telephone equipment, and more.

Modems  are hardware devices that convert various digital data into a format for better transmission via a medium—like a phone. 

Without modems, communication would only be possible between devices with specialized wiring, only in a digital format. 

Routers are devices that provide Wi-Fi and are typically connected to a modem. 

They send information from the internet to personal devices like computers, phones, and tablets.

Essentially, they serve as relay stations, directing information and providing a path for it. 

DTE, or data terminal equipment, converts user information into signals and vice versa. 

A personal computer is an example of a DTE. 

DCE, or data centre/communications equipment, comprises the intermediate steps in data conversion. 

This equipment covers coding and some other functions. 

A modem is part of the DCE system. 

All of this equipment works to process data, create a network, and facilitate communication. 

Housing this equipment in an outdoor data cabinet is a great option for any application.

What is a cable management system?

As mentioned above, a cable management system includes cable knockouts, cable racks, trays, and hooks. 

Cable knockouts are gasketed holes in the enclosure that cables can pass through. 

These can be of any diameter to suit your requirements. 

Racks help manage a large number of wires and keep them from getting tangled. 

Cable racks

The hooks can be used for long cables—simply wrap the cable around the hook to conserve space.

Hooks

Trays can be used to store additional equipment and devices, or even maintenance tools. 

They can be either like shelves or have a sliding mechanism. 

また、 DINレール are important features for any cabinet.

These are metal rails with places for mounting circuit breakers, control equipment, and wireless devices inside data cabinets. 

Cable management systems are very versatile, and we can manufacture one according to your specific needs. 

How do you choose a DIN rail for an outdoor data cabinet?

Choosing the right DIN rail can present a challenge, especially if you request a unique, custom design.

Outdoor data cabinets need DIN rails to install extra devices and supporting data equipment like circuit breakers and routers. 

ここで説明する DIN レールの種類には、トップハット、G セクション、C セクションなどがあります。

What does 18U mean for outdoor data cabinets?

18U is a measurement of the height of a server rack enclosure.

This measurement roughly equates to 34.6 inches or 87 centimeters. 

However, this measurement is usually used for server computer cabinets. 

Other popular sizes include 19U outdoor data cabinets and 12U outdoor data cabinets.

Are servers housed in outdoor data cabinets?

No, outdoor data cabinets, also known as outdoor network cabinets, have their own purpose.

Meanwhile, servers are installed in specialized server cabinets and server racks. 

What is the difference between a server rack and an outdoor data cabinet?

Data cabinets are often confused with server cabinets. 

しかし、違いはあります。 

Data cabinets are generally used for the storage of routers, patch panels, switches and a wide variety of networking equipment as well as networking accessories. 

In most cases, a data cabinet will be far shallower than a サーバーラックキャビネット—measuring in at less than 31 inches deep. 

Server rack cabinet

Outdoor data network cabinets generally do not have perforated panels because that would create an ingress hazard. 

The type of equipment generally housed in network cabinets does not generate the same amount of heat as that housed inside a server rack, so the ventilation of outdoor data cabinets is less active.

Server racks house large IT servers, and are always indoors. 

Although there are differences between the two types of cabinets, office spaces will require the use of both a server rack and a networking data cabinet in order to house the various equipment that will be used there.

Both types of enclosures are extremely useful, and KDM will help you design and manufacture the perfect outdoor data centre cabinet enclosure for your application. 

What temperature regulation do outdoor data cabinets require?

Your outdoor data cabinet may need cooling or heating.

High-working or outdoor temperatures can hurt your data equipment because electrical components are sensitive to overheating.

そのため、当社ではパッシブブリーザーやアクティブファンなど、お客様のビジネス向けにあらゆる種類の換気オプションを提供しています。 

Choosing the right ventilation option depends on the demands of your data equipment.

同様に、極端に低い気温は電気自動車の充電器に損傷を与える可能性があります。 

For instance, rubber in low temperatures loses flexibility and becomes brittle.

This affects the tightening and sealing of the outdoor data cabinet gaskets.

金属部品も柔軟性を失います。 

これは爆発的な圧力や大きな衝撃に耐える能力に影響します。

However, you need to be careful when heating your outdoor data cabinet to avoid overheating.

The main methods of heating your outdoor data cabinet are explosion-proof heaters, fan heaters, and PTC heaters. 

Explosion-proof cabinet heater

Explosion-proof heaters use the traditional way of heating your outdoor data cabinet.

具体的には、ヒーター本体に冷たい空気が循環し、ヒーターの温度が上昇します。

As this air warms up, it rises and continues to circulate within the cabinet.

熱交換器とも呼ばれます。 

Fan heaters are the simplest form of heating your outdoor data cabinets.

電流を加熱要素に流し、熱を発生させます。

As this happens, air from within the cabinet flows into the heating element via the fan.

PTC (positive temperature coefficient) heaters use specialized conductive materials that allow current to pass through when the cabinet gets cold.

熱交換器

温度が上昇し始めると、材料が電流の流れを抑制し始め、過熱を防ぎます。

You can also choose to insulate your outdoor data cabinet. 

What protection do outdoor data cabinets require? 

Outdoor data cabinets require weatherproof protection to ensure the smooth work of your data equipment through the harshest of weather conditions. 

Commonly, electrical cabinets are rated with IP または ネマ. 

In IP ratings, the first letter denotes how dust-tight a cabinet is, while the second letter denotes how waterproof a cabinet is.

しかし、NEMAは異なる評価システムを採用しており、腐食耐性は数字の後にXでコード化されます。 ネマ4X. 

Manufacturing NEMA 4R outdoor data cabinet

Weatherproof outdoor data cabinets can be IP65 to IP68, or NEMA 4X to NEMA 9. 

These ratings are the most suitable for outdoor data cabinets because they ensure no dust ingress, rainproof protection, protection against ice formation, and good resistance to corrosion. 

If you want to install your cabinets in a cold location, then ネマ3R would be suitable, with its protection against ice formation.

工業地帯や腐食の危険がある場所では、NEMA 4X 保護が必要になる場合があります。 

Also, you can request your outdoor data cabinet to be UL-tested for weatherproof, waterproof, and dust-tight qualities.

UL 50 E is especially great for outdoor data cabinets. 

It deals with Enclosures for Electrical Equipment and Environmental Considerations.

These standards address additional features including tensile strength, sealants, and the torque of glands of the indoor and outdoor enclosures specified in UL 50.

Lastly, if you need outdoor data cabinets for an industrial application, we offer ATEX enclosures with enhanced explosion-proof capabilities. 

How to design an outdoor data cabinet?
