Introducing The Eldapoint Cube

Eldapoint’s latest innovation for the rail sector – The Cube, is designed in two configurations, “2 bay” and “4 bay”, to hold BRS-SM440 racks + 19” racking. These can be connected via a link kit to make various configurations. The enclosures are designed to sit on a pre-set plinth or screw piles and can be supplied with removable walkways. Designed for maximum durability and protection, the Eldapoint Cube has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance and an SR2 security rating for enhanced protection against forced entry. 

The Cube features include: modular offering multiple configurations, internal racking ready for equipment, removeable access panels, steel outer shell, secure personnel door, easy power cable-access, different mounting options, optional walkways, and more!

The Eldapoint Cube offers a more sustainable alternative to traditional rail-side location cases, by substantially reducing the number of units required. The enclosure also utilises a smaller, or no concrete foundation. All of this results in a much lower carbon footprint in the production process.
