No. The 2424 TCS carries a NEMA 1 rating only, which is an indoor enclosure that guards against personnel contact with the enclosed equipment. It offers no rated protection against rain, washdown, or dust, so keep it in a dry conditioned space such as a telecom closet, electrical room, or back-of-house corridor. If the location sees weather or hosedown, you need a NEMA 3R, 4, or 4X enclosure instead.

The cabinet measures 19 x 19 x 19 inches (height, width, and depth are each listed at 19 inches). It weighs 15.2 lb empty. Lay out your backboard or wall area for a 19 inch square footprint plus clearance for the door swing, and account for the 19 inch depth standing off the wall since it is a surface mount unit, not a flush recessed can.

This version is configured with a 13658F KoolTronic filter, so it is the filtered, ventilated build rather than a plain sealed box. That matters when you are mounting active telecom gear that puts off heat inside a NEMA 1 cabinet. Filter media is a consumable, so plan on periodic cleaning or replacement as part of your PM route.

It is built as a surface mount cabinet, so it bolts to the face of the wall or a plywood backboard rather than sitting between studs. At 19 inches deep it will not fit in a standard framed cavity anyway. For a flush installation you need a recessed or flush-mount termination cabinet.

Body is 14 gauge steel, painted ANSI 61 gray. ANSI 61 is the standard gray used across most commercial panelboards, wireways, and industrial enclosures, so it lines up visually with typical electrical room gear without repainting.

Yes, the cabinet is listed to CSA C22.2, so it can be specified on Canadian projects as well as US ones.

That is exactly what it is built for. It is a Type 1 telephone termination cabinet, meant for indoor use and sized at 19 x 19 x 19 inches, surface mounted in a closet or riser. The NEMA 1 enclosure keeps hands off the terminated equipment inside. It is an indoor-only enclosure, so avoid unconditioned garage or exterior riser locations.

Order it as Eaton B-Line 2424 TCS. That is the manufacturer part number for the Type 1 telephone termination cabinet, surface mount, in 14 gauge steel with ANSI 61 gray paint.
