ARCA-IEC
Driven by innovation and market demand. The ARCA is the ideal and cost-effective alternative to stainless steel NEMA cabinets and fiberglass enclosures. These NEMA 4X hinged electrical enclosures are a real game-changer. Sized up to 32 x 24x 12 inches and made for harsh and demanding environments, the ARCA cabinet series is the largest polycarbonate UL listed, NEMA 4X cabinet in the world.
ARCA -IEC NEMA cabinet enclosures are available in both portrait and landscape orientation, consequently offering greater versatility. The ARCA series provides you the first real enclosing alternative to steel boxes. Thanks in part to its high impact resistance, this watertight, UV-resistant polycarbonate enclosure will not dent, rust, crack or bloom like steel or fiberglass, therefore offering longer field life. Polycarbonate cabinets weigh considerably less and are easier to modify than their metal or fiberglass counterparts, saving both time and money.
