Product Description

The A-Style GrayBox enclosure is engineered for economical rack-mounted use. With its IP67 rating, the A-Style enclosure offers superior defense against dust, moisture, and even temporary submersion. Its all-metal construction features a rugged extruded frame, integral rack mounting, and a choice of three front panel styles. The design includes a flush rear panel, removable top cover, and captured bottom cover, allowing for easy customization while maintaining structural integrity.

The A-Style family has 18 standard sizes – two heights (one and two standard rack units), one width (full rack) and nine depths (six to 22 inches in two-inch increments). Widths and depths other than these are made to order with 2-3 week delivery. 

Each A-Style Enclosure is composed of six precision-machined, interchangeable parts:

two panels, two sides and two covers. Panels and sides are modified I-beam cross sections that assemble to form a rigid structural frame. The bottom cover is captured on all sides and recessed to allow mounting components with up to a size 6 or M3.5 pan head screw (eliminating the need for countersinking). The top cover contains stiffening flanges along each side that screw on from above.
