Eaton EN1812 SmartRack 18x12 Inch WAP Enclosure
Overview
The Eaton EN1812 is a robust wireless access point (WAP) enclosure engineered to secure and protect valuable network devices within diverse indoor environments. This surface-mountable unit is ideally suited for offices, dormitories, hotels, classrooms, and retail spaces where network equipment needs to be shielded from theft, tampering, dust, and other environmental contaminants while remaining discreetly out of sight. Constructed from durable, impact-resistant UL 94 V-1 classified PC plastic, it provides reliable physical security for critical Wi-Fi infrastructure. Designed with practical deployment in mind, the EN1812 enclosure ensures optimal Wi-Fi signal integrity by being transparent to wireless signals, preventing signal degradation often associated with metallic enclosures. While specifically accommodating Cisco WAPs, its integrated shelf and universal T-bar bracket are versatile enough to house a wide range of equipment from various manufacturers up to 1102 cubic inches. This flexibility allows IT professionals to standardize on a security solution without being restricted by specific vendor hardware. Installation is streamlined, as the EN1812 arrives fully assembled and ready for horizontal or vertical mounting on walls or ceilings using the included hardware. Its thoughtful design incorporates pre-cut openings for precise positioning over wall outlets and convenient knockout ports for efficient cable routing, minimizing clutter. For maintenance, the enclosure features a sturdy hinged design that allows it to swing away, providing easy access to the enclosed equipment and cabling without requiring complete removal from its mounted position.
