01 / What We Fabricate
Mechanical Enclosures for 5G Base Station Equipment
Telecom OEMs sourcing 5G base-station enclosures need cabinet bodies, fiber-entry panels, thermal features and documented mechanical interfaces tied to buyer-defined ingress targets—not a generic outdoor box.
Radio Equipment Housings
Formed aluminum or steel housings, covers and brackets for radio, power and network equipment.
Fiber and Power Entry Panels
Gland plates, cable entry panels, grounding plates and service access covers for outdoor telecom cabinets.
Site-Specific Mechanical Kits
Finished enclosure parts packed with hardware, gasket interfaces and site-specific mechanical kit control.
Our scope: mechanical enclosure fabrication for telecom OEMs
The telecom OEM or integrator owns RF design, electronics, thermal validation, IP/EMI certification and site approval. DRAmetal manufactures the sheet metal enclosure body, panels, brackets, entry plates and mechanical kits to released drawings and inspection requirements.
02 / Telecom Enclosure Types
5G Cabinet Bodies, Housings and Entry Panels
Cabinet format follows the released installation, radio and power envelopes, cable-entry layout, thermal architecture, service access and buyer-defined environmental interfaces.

04 / Manufacturing Process
From Telecom Drawing Review to Site-Ready Packout
01
Enclosure Boundary Review
Confirm the mechanical scope, telecom OEM interfaces, outdoor rating targets and which validation remains with the customer.
02
DFM and Sealing Review
Review gasket lands, cable entries, drain features, grounding, venting, hinge/latch positions and coating requirements.
03
Fabrication
Cut, punch, bend, weld and deburr cabinet panels, covers, housings, entry plates and brackets.
04
Finish and Hardware
Apply powder coating, passivation or plating, then install studs, PEM hardware, hinges, latches or drawing-defined hardware.
05
Mechanical Inspection
Check sealing interfaces, hole patterns, door fit, grounding points, coating quality and hardware presence.
06
Site Kit Packout
Pack parts by cabinet model, site sequence, drawing revision or telecom project milestone.
05 / Why It Matters
Why 5G Enclosure Manufacturing Needs Telecom-Specific Controls
Outdoor telecom enclosures combine weather sealing, grounding, cable access, serviceability, cooling paths and field installation constraints. The manufacturer must control more than sheet metal shape.
Sealing Interfaces
Door openings, service panels, gland plates and cable entries need flat, repeatable gasket and compression surfaces.
Grounding and EMI
Grounding studs, masked areas and conductive interfaces must match the OEM's electrical architecture.
Outdoor Finish
Coating thickness, edge protection and stainless hardware matter for long-life telecom deployment.
Site Packout
Telecom rollouts depend on parts arriving by cabinet model, site sequence and revision, not as mixed loose components.

09 / FAQ
5G Base Station Enclosure FAQ
What 5G enclosure parts can DRAmetal fabricate?
We fabricate outdoor cabinet bodies, doors, panels, radio housings, brackets, cable entry plates, grounding plates, gland plates, covers and hardware-ready mechanical kits.
Can you certify IP65 or IP66?
No. We manufacture drawing-defined mechanical interfaces for the buyer's ingress target. The telecom OEM, integrator or accredited test provider owns final enclosure validation and certification.
Can parts be packed by site or cabinet model?
Yes. We can pack finished parts and mechanical kits by project site, cabinet model, drawing revision or deployment sequence.
What should be included in a telecom enclosure RFQ?
Send drawings, STEP files, material and coating requirements, gasket details, cable entry layout, grounding requirements, hardware list, inspection points and forecast quantity.
