New enclosure range from CamdenBoss breaks the mould
CamdenBoss has launched an entirely new range of highly innovative, unconventional enclosures. The UK-manufactured Hex-Box IoT enclosure is a radical departure from the normal standard rectangular and square enclosures. With its unconventional shape, the stunning design engineered enclosure features a contemporary design aesthetic and is fully recyclable. The Hex-Box IoT Enclosure has been designed to create an enclosure suitable for industrial IoT, but equally able to blend easily into office, retail and domestic environments.
The regular hexagon shape provides a six-sided housing, with all sides featuring fully removable panels that, once placed in position, are self-retaining, therefore eradicating any awkward assembly that is often encountered in enclosures with removable panels. This has huge advantages for customisation as the removable panels can be easily digitally printed, holes can be created for cable ports, making it quick and easy to produce a finished electronic device. The six-sided shape also provides a means of exit and entrance to the PCB from multiple directions, creating an ideal housing for industrial desktop equipment or meeting room devices such as multiway charging and multi-purpose electronics that provide one source for connecting laptops, mobiles and tablets to a projector.
The panels are available as either solid or vented and are completely interchangeable, giving you a fully customisable configuration and a unique enclosure based on your requirements and layout preferences. The lid of the enclosure features a smooth bevelled edge with a flat area on the top, suitable for a 2.5” screen.
PCB mounting can be found in both the lid and the base, with the base mounting bosses positioned to accept Raspberry Pi development boards. Also included in the base are a set of numbers moulded into the housing from one to six, labelling each of the panel positions to aid assembling, wiring and mounting of the enclosure.
The Hex-Box IoT Enclosure can be easily transformed into a wall mountable enclosure with the addition of the revolutionary Circular Wall Mount Bracket. The bracket features a number of different mounting methods, including UK single gang mounting, slots for static, fixed surface mounting as well as keyhole slots for fast dismount. The bracket also features 25mm cable entry that can be knocked through, aligning perfectly with a marked area on the base of the enclosure. These features provide a concealed entrance for the cables from the rear of the enclosure and, once mounted, maintains that all important aesthetic when situated in environments such as homes and offices.
