What should I check before putting a router inside an electrical cabinet?

Industrial Automation Connectivity · 2026-07-26

Start with heat, power, mounting space, antenna cable exits and whether the cabinet is likely to shield or distort the mobile signal. Cabinet installations also need proper attention to grounding, transient protection and separation from noisy electrical components. A router squeezed into the nearest spare corner often becomes a future support problem.

Comset can usually advise whether the cabinet installation is sensible as-is or whether the antenna, power arrangement or even the router location should be reconsidered.
