A computer enclosure for a hazardous environment must be selected based on more than its strength or ability to resist dust and […]

The Best NEMA 4X Computer Enclosure Features

NEMA 4X computer enclosures help protect sensitive electronics from water, contaminants, and corrosive conditions. For washdown applications, look beyond the enclosure rating: construction materials, surface design, hinges, and mounting options also affect equipment protection and ease of cleaning. What Does NEMA 4X Mean for a Computer Enclosure? NEMA 4X describes a level of environmental protection […]

Selecting the Best Rack Enclosure

Securing and organizing server and network equipment is a must for IT departments and industrial companies of all sizes. Finding the perfect enclosure can be a daunting task. Being dust-free is just one applicable factor. Dirty or wet environments can quickly destroy electronic equipment. Before purchasing rack enclosures for a factory or plant use, a […]

3 Considerations for Computer Enclosures

While performing an Internet image search, computer enclosures – from various companies – may look very similar. However, computer enclosures are not created equal! In a factory or manufacturing environment, a high-quality, industrial computer enclosure will protect vital electronic components better than subpar enclosure products. When a customer makes a computer enclosure decision based solely […]

Customizing Your Industrial Computer Enclosure

The term “custom” enclosure often gets a poor reputation for being more expensive than standard units and having excessive lead times. However, this is not always the case.
