Outdoor Telecom Cabinets
What is an Outdoor Telecom Cabinet?
An outdoor telecom cabinet is a robust, weatherproof enclosure designed to house and protect sensitive telecommunications, networking, and broadband equipment in outdoor environments. These cabinets safeguard valuable electronics—such as optical line terminals (OLTs), switches, power supplies, and patch panels—from harsh weather conditions, temperature extremes, dust, moisture, vandalism, and unauthorized access. As a direct manufacturer with over 20 years of experience in FTTx, YOptic designs and fabricates high-quality outdoor cabinets that ensure the reliable operation of your network infrastructure, whether in a remote rural location or a bustling urban street.
Our Outdoor Cabinet Series
We offer a versatile range of outdoor cabinets to meet various deployment needs, from small-scale FTTx distribution to larger aggregation points. All our cabinets are constructed from durable materials like galvanized steel or stainless steel and feature advanced sealing for long-lasting outdoor performance.
Wall-Mounted Outdoor Cabinets
Ideal for space-constrained locations such as building exteriors, poles, or small cell sites. Our wall-mounted cabinets are compact yet provide secure housing for FTTH termination points, small switches, or power adapters. They offer easy installation and essential protection against rain and dust, typically with IP65 rating.
Ground-Standing Pedestal Cabinets
Designed for larger capacity and floor-mounted installation, our pedestal-style outdoor cabinets are perfect for neighborhood distribution points, FTTx nodes, and remote aggregation units. They offer ample internal space for chassis, batteries, and cable management, with options for thermal management (fans, heat exchangers) and high ingress protection up to IP55.
Key Features & Customization Options
As a manufacturer, we understand that one size does not fit all. We offer extensive customization to ensure our outdoor cabinets meet your exact project specifications:
Material & Finish: Choose from galvanized steel, powder-coated steel, or stainless steel (304/316) for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Protection Rating: Standard options include IP55 (protection against water jets) and IP65 (dust-tight and protection against low-pressure water jets).
Thermal Management: Integrated solutions including ventilation with dust filters, fan cooling, heat exchangers, or air conditioners to maintain optimal internal temperatures.
Internal Configuration: Customizable 19-inch or 23-inch mounting rails, shelves, cable management panels, and power distribution units (PDUs).
Security: Options for 3-point locking systems, tamper switches, and lockable internal compartments.
Branding: Custom colors, logos, and silk-screening to match your network’s branding requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about Outdoor Telecom Cabinets
What is the difference between IP55 and IP65 ratings?
Both ratings indicate protection against dust and water. IP55 offers protection against limited dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. IP65 is "dust-tight" (complete protection against dust) and protects against low-pressure water jets. For most telecom applications in exposed outdoor sites, IP65 is the preferred standard.
How do you manage heat inside an outdoor cabinet?
Thermal management depends on the climate and the heat generated by the internal equipment. Options include passive ventilation (with sun shields and vents), active cooling (fans with thermostatic control and filters), and more advanced systems like air conditioners or heat exchangers for high-power equipment in hot environments.
Can you customize the size and internal layout of the cabinet?
Absolutely. As a manufacturer, we specialize in custom solutions. We can adjust the overall dimensions, the mounting rail positions (depth and height), and add specific shelves, brackets, or panels to accommodate your unique set of OLTs, switches, power supplies, and fiber management.
What materials are your cabinets made of?
Our standard cabinets are made from high-quality cold-rolled steel with a durable powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance. For projects requiring maximum durability in coastal or highly corrosive environments, we offer stainless steel (304 or 316 grade) construction.
What is the typical lead time for a custom outdoor cabinet order?
Lead times vary depending on the complexity and quantity of the order. For standard configurations, we may have stock available. For custom designs, typical lead times range from 2 to 5 weeks after design approval. Please contact our sales team with your specific requirements for an accurate timeline.
