ATC36244S

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures ATC36244S is a wall-mount telephone cabinet constructed from steel with a gray finish. It measures 36 inches in height, 24 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth (914 mm x 609.6 mm x 101.6 mm). The unit features a continuous hinge door equipped with a tumbler latch and keylock for secure access. Designed to NEMA Type 1 standards, it provides basic indoor protection against falling dirt and limited contact. The enclosure includes a 3/4-inch plywood backplate to facilitate the mounting of telecommunications equipment.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinge door design with integrated tumbler latch and keylock mechanism
• Includes 3/4-inch plywood backplate for direct equipment mounting
• Supports both flush and surface mounting configurations

Applications

• Housing telephone terminations
• Mounting telecommunications circuit accessories
• Installing cross-connect terminal blocks

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific installation environment meets NEMA Type 1 requirements, as this model does not offer environmental sealing. Confirm that the 3/4-inch plywood backplate thickness aligns with the screw length of the intended termination hardware. Ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the steel enclosure and installed components. Check local building codes regarding fire ratings for the included plywood backplate if used in restricted areas.

Selection Notes

Select this model when indoor protection against dust and accidental contact is sufficient. Choose over sealed enclosures when ventilation or easy access via continuous hinges is prioritized. Consider the 4-inch depth constraint for cable management needs. Verify compatibility with existing rack or wall infrastructure before procurement.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman ATC series of telephone cabinets. These units are specifically engineered for communication infrastructure rather than general industrial control. The series typically offers various depths and heights to accommodate different volumes of cabling and patch panels. This specific model represents a standard size configuration within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ATC series models with identical dimensions but different finishes or lock types. Generic NEMA Type 1 cabinets may serve as alternatives if specific Hoffman mounting patterns are not required. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3/4-inch backplate specification for proper equipment fit.
