Modular Enclosures vs. Non-Modular Enclosures:
Matching Your Enclosure to Your Application
When: Thursday, March 31, 2016
Time: 1:00 PM EDT / 12:00 PM CDT / 10:00 AM PDT / 5:00 PM GMT
Duration: 60 minutes
Today’s modular enclosures differ from older, welded enclosures in several ways. Newer enclosures’ modularity provide greater flexibility in system design, mounting options, and other deployment characteristics.
This free webcast seminar, delivered by Rittal and produced by Cabling Installation & Maintenance, details the differences between truly modular and welded enclosures. It explains the essential functions of enclosures, and how the two enclosure types perform those functions. Additionally, the seminar addresses the considerations that should be made when specifying an enclosure. Among those considerations are the application for which the enclosure will be used, the environment in which it will reside, space and temperature requirements, and the enclosure’s need to facilitate cable management.
