he need for outdoor systems is increasing due to the ever- expanding requirement for all things to be connected. This need will only increase but it is paramount that when a system is


critical infrastructure equipment and as such you need to ensure that you are protecting that equipment. The key question from within industry is, why would you put equipment in an enclosure that is not specifically designed to work in that environment? The team at Rittal often asks, “why do people


continuously put important pieces of equipment into an enclosure that will most likely leak, allow the equipment inside to overheat, or cause condensation during the winter months, as well as offering no form of security protection against


individuals who wish to gain access to damage or remove the equipment?” In larger or more critical applications, the


equipment placed internally will cost in excess of tens of thousands of pounds. In industry today more than ever Rittal is seeing businesses choosing enclosures based on cost rather than its ability to protect critical equipment. The enclosure itself is just as important as the equipment it is protecting. It is key to bare in mind that if the enclosure fails, then so will the infrastructure it is protecting.
