Build-to-print floor-standing cabinets for telecom power, fiber distribution, radio equipment and base-station integration. We fabricate the cabinet, access, thermal, EMI and cable-entry features to the customer's environmental and inspection requirements. For pole- or wall-mounted small-cell formats, see our outdoor telecom cabinets.
From pole-mount 5G micro cabinets to ground-mount macro enclosures, we manufacture every form factor in the telecom infrastructure portfolio.
5G Macro Cabinet Full-size outdoor cabinets housing baseband units (BBU), power systems, and battery backup for 5G macro sites. Active or passive cooling depending on heat load and climate zone.
5G Micro / Pole Compact cabinets for small cell and dense urban deployments. Mount on light poles, building walls, or street furniture. Passive cooling for lower heat loads.
Fiber Distribution Outdoor FDC enclosures for FTTH/FTTx networks. Houses splice trays, splitters and patch panels for last-mile fiber distribution. Compact street-furniture form factor.
Shelter / Edge Large walk-in or compact shelter cabinets for remote sites, edge computing nodes, and core network points. Integrated HVAC, fire suppression and security monitoring options.
Standard performance parameters across our telecom cabinet portfolio. All values configurable for project-specific requirements.

Eight production steps from raw aluminum or stainless coil to inspected cabinet metalwork built to the released drawing.
Pre-production DFM analysis including CFD thermal simulation for heat load verification and air-flow optimization. Critical for IP66 + thermal balance.
Aluminum, stainless and galvanized steel coils verified by mill cert. Alloy composition by XRF; surface finish inspected before cutting.
The quotation confirms the cutting and punching route for frame, panel, door, ventilation and cable entry features after material and drawing review.
Frame structure, doors and cooling fins follow a quoted forming route. Critical sealing surfaces manufactured to drawing-defined tolerances; the OEM or test body owns final IP66 validation.
Robotic MIG for structural welds; manual TIG for seam-critical and cosmetic welds. EMI-critical joints get continuous welds (no skip).
Type II anodize for aluminum; powder coat over zinc phosphate for steel. RAL color matching with ΔE ≤ 1.0 across production lots.
Door hinges, gaskets, EMI shielding, cable entry hardware, thermal management components installed per project BOM. Calibrated torque control.
Ingress, pressure-decay, thermal or impact checks are performed only to the agreed project method, acceptance limits, sampling plan and record format.
Material selection driven by deployment environment — urban, coastal, desert, tropical, arctic, or specialty chemical exposure.
Common project option
Coastal, chemical, harsh environments
Cost-optimized large cabinets
Compact pole-mount enclosures
High-performance EMI components
Hybrid / specialty configurations
The RFQ should define operator requirements, critical interfaces, inspection evidence and any independent test scope. No telecom, ingress, impact, EMC or weather rating is implied by this fabrication page.
A possible operator requirement. Applicability, qualification and acceptance remain with the OEM, operator or responsible test party.
Example buyer targets only. Final ingress and impact ratings require testing of the configured enclosure by the responsible party.
Railway applications EMC. For trackside telecom cabinets near electrified railways.
UL certification documentation is available on request for applicable products and components; confirm the model and listing scope for your project. Confirm other required market approvals during project qualification. We can manufacture released mechanical drawings that reference UL 50E-related enclosure requirements; the OEM, Listing holder or test body owns approval.
Final ingress testing only to the buyer-selected IEC 60529 method and approved test provider
Buyer-defined profile, acceptance limits and approved provider under the selected IEC 60068 method
Impact target, specimen and provider defined by the OEM under IEC 62262
ASTM B117 exposure only when duration, specimen and acceptance criteria are quoted
EMC method, frequency range, configured specimen and laboratory remain buyer-defined
ASTM G155 or other weathering work only when the RFQ defines method, exposure and acceptance

Numerous cable entries admitted water, while replacing one cable required disturbing the entire seal arrangement.
Results apply to the project configuration described on the linked page.
Read the Customer Project →Cabinet sealing, grounding, thermal and mounting features are manufactured from OEM-released drawings. Specify the required NEBS criteria and documentation in the RFQ so the cabinet configuration, inspection records and equipment-level validation can be reviewed together with the telecom OEM.
The telecom OEM owns FCC, CE, IC, ACMA and operator approvals. DRAmetal supplies only the quoted mechanical enclosure and agreed manufacturing records.
Heat load, environment, cooling hardware and CFD or test validation remain OEM-defined. DRAmetal does not claim a thermal rating, operating range or field reliability result.
Capacity is committed only after cabinet variants, tooling, finish, inspection, packout and delivery schedule have been reviewed and quoted.
60-80 dB attenuation across 30 MHz - 1 GHz. Critical for dense urban deployments where adjacent-cell interference is a real concern.
The OEM defines and validates service life, maintenance interval and environmental performance. DRAmetal follows the released mechanical design.
Send your specifications, drawings or 5G rollout requirements. The quotation will define the technical assessment, cost, inspection scope, capacity and recommended cabinet configuration.
