Air Conditioned Transit Cases
CP Cases has been considered the industry leader in Air-Conditioned Transit Cases (AC/TC), since their initial development in 2005. We offer air conditioning options for our Amazon Racks, as well as all 4U and larger ERacks. Air conditioning can be provided using either a Thermoelectric (TEU) or a Vapor Compression Cycle (VCC) unit. The size and type of AC unit is selected based on the cooling output required to keep the electronics operating in the optimal environment. The cooling required is dependent on various factors like heat output of the electronics and geographic location of use. Many of our air-conditioned transit cases utilize an extra, smaller case called a COOL COLLAR to permanently house the ac unit. This allows the operator to connect the cases during operation and disconnect them for storage and transport. It also gives users access to the rear of their electronics without depopulating the chassis.
Injection Molded Cases

Introduction:
Troposcatter communication systems are critical for providing long-range, secure, and reliable communication in remote and challenging terrains. To optimize the performance of such systems, CP Cases, a leading manufacturer of protective solutions, partnered with a communication company to integrate their ERV3 Rackmounts and RCZ Cases. This case study explores the successful collaboration and the benefits it brought to the Troposcatter Communications Programme.
Client Background:
The client is a renowned provider of advanced communication solutions specializing in Troposcatter technology. Their systems enable communication over distances that are beyond line-of-sight, making them ideal for military, emergency response, and disaster recovery operations.
Challenge:
Despite the proven effectiveness of Troposcatter communication systems, the client faced specific challenges related to the robustness and portability of their equipment. Deploying and transporting the equipment to remote locations in rugged environments proved to be cumbersome and required enhanced protection against environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and mechanical shock.
Solution:
The client sought a partner with expertise in designing and manufacturing protective cases and rackmounts to address their equipment’s challenges. With our extensive experience in providing rugged and reliable solutions, it was the perfect fit. We proposed integrating our ERV3 Rackmounts and RCZ Cases into the client’s communication systems to enhance their performance and durability.
ERV3 Rackmounts:
Our ERV3 Rackmounts are engineered to withstand harsh conditions and provide secure housing for sensitive electronic equipment. Our rackmounts feature shock-mounted frames that protect the equipment from vibrations and impacts during transportation. Additionally, our ERV3 Rackmounts are designed to withstand IP65 and ensure efficient cooling, preventing overheating in extreme environmental conditions.
RCZ Cases:
Our RCZ Cases offer unparalleled protection for delicate communication devices. These ruggedized, lightweight cases are resistant to water, dust, and extreme temperatures, safeguarding the equipment from environmental hazards. The high-strength aluminum construction ensures exceptional impact resistance, making them ideal for use in rough terrains and during transit.
Implementation:
We collaborated closely with the client’s engineering team to tailor the ERV3 Rackmounts and RCZ Cases to their specific communication systems. This involved precise customization to accommodate the client’s existing equipment and ensure seamless integration.
Results:
The integration of our ERV3 Rackmounts and RCZ Cases brought numerous benefits to the client’s Troposcatter communication systems:
- Enhanced Protection: The ERV3 Rackmounts and RCZ Cases significantly improved the equipment’s protection against shocks, vibrations, water, and dust, ensuring optimal performance in challenging environments.
- Portability and Mobility: The robust and lightweight design of the cases allowed for easy transportation to remote locations, making deployment and relocation of the communication systems more efficient.
- Reliable Communication: The enhanced protection provided by the cases resulted in reduced equipment downtime, ensuring continuous and reliable communication during critical operations.
- Extended Equipment Lifespan: By shielding the sensitive electronic equipment from harsh conditions, the ERV3 Rackmounts and RCZ Cases contributed to prolonging the lifespan of the communication systems, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Conclusion:
The successful collaboration between the client and CP Cases led to the integration of ERV3 Rackmounts and RCZ Cases, greatly enhancing the performance, protection, and portability of the Troposcatter communication systems. This case study demonstrates the positive impact of strategic partnerships between communication technology providers and protective solution manufacturers, highlighting the importance of durable and reliable equipment in critical scenarios.
