Adgo network panels support NEMA 1, 12, 4 and 4X enclosures, sized to the installation environment. NEMA 12 is the most common rating for indoor industrial network panels. NEMA 4X is specified for washdown or corrosive environments such as food, beverage and chemical plants where stainless construction is required.
NEMA Enclosure Ratings
NEMA enclosure ratings define how a network panel resists dust, water and corrosion. The rating drives gasket selection, cable entry sealing and enclosure material (painted steel vs. 304/316 stainless).
- NEMA 1: General-purpose indoor enclosure. Protects against incidental contact, not dust or moisture.
- NEMA 12: Indoor enclosure that excludes circulating dust and non-corrosive drip. Standard for most plant-floor network panels.
- NEMA 4: Indoor or outdoor, rated for hose-directed water and windblown dust.
- NEMA 4X: NEMA 4 protection plus corrosion resistance. Specified for food, beverage, chemical and marine applications.
- If/then: If a network panel sits within sanitary spray range on a food line, then the build must be NEMA 4X stainless with sealed cable glands to prevent ingress at conduit penetrations.
