These cases are water and dust proof transit case for 19" electronic equipment that include extensive shock and vibration absorption features. The transit cases are NATO approved and designed to meet the rigid requirements of US MIL specifications as well as most international specification requirements.

The cases are designed and manufactured to meet the specific demands of environmental protection necessary by the equipment being contained and transported.

These cases also offer protection against electrical stress from direct or random high frequency interference such as jamming transition, switching operations, EMI and RFI. As well as protection against internally produced stress from dissipated heat, high voltage components and radio frequency radiation.
