Latching solutions for telecommunications

In the middle of the city center, on a country road or literally on a greenfield site – housings for telecommunications can be found everywhere. Inside is valuable technology that enables telephony and the Internet. As part of the critical infrastructure, the protection of these systems is of great importance. In this context, latching solutions not only have to withstand the weather, but also the vandalism of opportunist thieves.

Highest demands

With these core features, our products meet the associated challenges:

Rounded edges, flat superstructures and a robust design of our latching solutions – cause vandals a tough time. For particularly high requirements, some of our products comply with resistance class RC2, which is certified by external auditors. This provides reliable protection for telecommunications systems that would otherwise be an easy target due to their exposed location.

Rain, snow and hail on the one hand and extreme solar radiation on the other put a strain on latching solutions in outdoor use. To ensure that they provide reliable protection for your application for years to come, our products are given a special UV-resistant powder coating. We also use special slip-on profiles made of synthetic rubber for insulation.

The weather can be extreme, so that in addition to rain and sun, for example, there can be rapid changes in temperature or pollution caused by drifting soil. Here too, our latching solutions offer reliable protection thanks to high-quality materials and a particularly robust design.

The tiniest dust particles and even the smallest amounts of moisture can cause major damage inside an electrical enclosure and paralyze entire telecommunications networks. To prevent this from happening, our latching solutions offer a high level of compression thanks to optimum press-on properties. Despite this extreme tightness, they offer users maximum convenience when opening.

For good reason, only authorized persons have access to switchgear in telecommunications. Our status displays help to optimally secure the systems within this framework. Either an LED for our mechatronic solutions or a positioning spring for the mechanical solutions indicates the respective locking status. This means that technicians know at a glance whether the switch cabinet is correctly closed again.
