COMLINE Enclosure Accessories
COMLINE enclosure accessories are designed to support reliable equipment mounting and cable management within nVent HOFFMAN COMLINE aluminum enclosures. These accessories enhance enclosure functionality while maintaining environmental protection in demanding industrial and telecommunications applications. Available in multiple sizes, COMLINE backplates and gland plates allow installers to configure enclosures to match specific equipment layouts and entry requirements.
Aluminum backplates mount directly to the rear of COMLINE enclosures, providing a stable surface for attaching electrical and electronic components. Aluminum construction offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, natural corrosion resistance, and effective heat dissipation, making these backplates well-suited for outdoor and harsh environments. Aluminum’s non-magnetic properties also help reduce susceptibility to radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference (EMF).
COMLINE enclosures and accessories are commonly used in wall-mount, pole-mount, and tower-mounted telecommunications installations. Vertical-mount COMLINE cabinets are designed to house 19-inch rack equipment while maintaining a narrow profile for improved wind resistance. Gland plates allow for organized cable entry while preserving the enclosure’s environmental rating, making them ideal for rooftop, tower, and outdoor infrastructure applications.
