Long-Lasting UV Stability
Designed for longevity, the Allbrox® 7 enclosure boasts an expected UV lifespan of over 25 years. Unlike many other materials that degrade or discolour with prolonged UV exposure, GRP-SMC maintains its structural integrity and appearance, making it ideal for outdoor installations in regions with high sun exposure. This UV resistance minimises maintenance needs, offering users a reliable, low-maintenance solution over time.
High Safety Standards
Non-conductive and non-flammable, this enclosure meets stringent safety requirements, making it particularly suitable for environments where electrical safety is paramount. Its UL94 V0 flammability rating and ability to withstand temperatures up to 200 °C make it an ideal choice for housing sensitive electrical and telecommunications equipment in a secure, fire-resistant manner.
Multi-Orientation Mounting Options
The Allbrox® 7 enclosure is available in both portrait (828H x 709W x 287D mm) and landscape (709H x 828W x 287D mm) orientations, allowing for flexible installation in various spaces. The inclusion of multi-angle mounting brackets further enhances versatility, ensuring easy integration with other equipment or onto existing structures.
Excellent RF Transparency
As metal enclosures often block RF signals, the non-metallic GRP material used in the Allbrox® 7 allows for superior RF transparency. This makes it ideal for telecommunications and wireless communication applications, as it enables uninterrupted signal transmission without requiring external antenna connectors that can be prone to environmental interference or damage.
Enhanced Durability and Impact Resistance
Rated to withstand high-impact forces with an IK10 impact rating, this enclosure offers substantial protection against physical damage. Internal hinges enhance security, minimising potential tampering or compromise. These features make it particularly suitable for demanding industrial environments or remote installations where ruggedness is essential.
Eco-Friendly Manufacturing
The SMC material used in the Allbrox® 7 is energy-efficient to produce, requiring significantly less energy than traditional materials like steel or aluminium while maintaining comparable strength. Furthermore, SMC is recyclable, aligning with sustainable practices by reducing environmental impact through efficient production and recyclability.
