Telephone Cabinet FEATURES
Many industries across the UK and internationally trust us to provide all-weather, robust telephone hoods, outdoor phone enclosures and phone kiosks for public spaces and private areas where payphones are used.
Telephone cabinets, designed for robust outdoor use, are essential components in ensuring reliable communication in various settings. Constructed from durable materials such as steel and glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), these cabinets provide a secure housing for telecommunication equipment
They are particularly vital in emergency situations, where dependable access to communication is crucial. Featuring an IP66 weatherproof rating, these tough outdoor boxes are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring that the equipment inside remains operational regardless of weather
Their resilience and security make them an ideal choice for locations that require constant, reliable communication capabilities.
Purpose: These enclosures are designed to protect handsets from environmental factors, physical damage, or unauthorized use. Protective enclosures are commonly used in high-traffic areas, public spaces, or locations with harsh environments (e.g., factories, industrial settings).
Materials: Typically made of hard plastic or tough metal, these enclosures may be weather-resistant, vandal-proof, or shock-absorbent depending on the location and level of protection required.
Design: Practically designed, lockable enclosures are often cabinets or boxes that securely hold one or multiple handsets. They can be mounted on walls or placed in a corner.
Use Cases: Common in public spaces like airports, shopping malls, or industrial facilities where telephones or handsets may be exposed to physical risks like damage or theft. Vandal-resistant or protective enclosures are essential for public payphones or telephones in public areas like airports, train stations, and shopping malls. These enclosures keep the handsets secure and protected from theft or damage.
Offices and Call Centers: In office environments, especially large corporate offices or call centers, organizational enclosures can house multiple handsets and keep them easily accessible and organized. Lockable cabinets can also help prevent unauthorized use or tampering.
Healthcare Settings: In hospitals or clinics, where cleanliness and security are paramount, enclosures may be used to store handsets that are used by staff for emergency communication. These enclosures may be sanitizable, secure, and easily accessible.
Industrial and Outdoor Settings: In industries or outdoor environments, where the handset may be exposed to harsh conditions (e.g., dirt, water, or chemicals), protective enclosures are designed to shield the device from damage and to ensure it remains functional in difficult conditions.
Weatherproofing and Environmental Protection: IP (Ingress Protection) Rating: Outdoor telephone enclosures must be designed to withstand various environmental conditions, including rain, snow, extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and direct sunlight. The IP rating (e.g., IP65, IP66) indicates the level of protection the enclosure provides against water and dust ingress. A higher IP rating (such as IP66 or IP67) ensures that the enclosure is waterproof and dustproof, making it suitable for all weather conditions.
UV-Resistant Materials: Many outdoor enclosures are constructed from materials like UV-resistant plastics or powder-coated steel to prevent degradation from exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause materials to fade, crack, or become brittle over time.
Temperature Resistance: Depending on the region and climate, telephone enclosures are designed to function in a wide range of temperatures, from freezing cold to extreme heat
Benefits of Using Handset Enclosures
Security: Lockable enclosures can help protect handsets from theft or unauthorized use, especially in environments where handsets may be unattended or vulnerable.
Organization: Enclosures help keep handsets organized, especially in busy offices, call centers, or public spaces, where multiple handsets are used simultaneously.
Protection: Whether from physical damage, environmental factors, or vandalism, enclosures protect handsets and ensure they remain in good working condition.
Privacy: In environments where calls need to be private or protected from external noise, enclosures such as telephone booths or acoustic cabinets offer acoustic isolation, improving both privacy and sound quality during calls.
