The ACX500 outdoor router meets the requirement of the International Protection Code
(IP65) for dust-tight environments and ingress against water jetting environment.
To protect the router's inner components from external environmental factors, the router
is environmentally hardened and the chassis is ruggedized. The router is fanless and
ventless, and supports passive cooling for outdoor deployments in extreme weather
conditions.
There are two parts to securing and weatherproofing the ACX500 outdoor
router—weatherproofing the interface ports and cables, and weatherproofing the
management components.
The interface cables are arranged inside the cable connector unit (see
Figure 50 on page 127 and
