Axis Communications 5900-171 T98A17-VE Surveillance Cabinet

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 5900-171 is the T98A17-VE surveillance cabinet, an outdoor-rated enclosure designed to house and protect network video surveillance equipment in demanding field installations. Built for security integrators and low-voltage technicians, this cabinet provides a hardened housing for cameras, network switches, power supplies, and related surveillance hardware deployed at exterior locations. The T98A17-VE addresses the need for weatherproof, organized equipment mounting where indoor installation is not practical or possible.

This enclosure is suited for commercial and institutional surveillance deployments where outdoor equipment must remain protected against environmental exposure. Typical applications include perimeter security installations, parking structures, transit facilities, and industrial sites. Security integrators and licensed low-voltage contractors install this cabinet as part of a larger IP video or access control system, consolidating field-side network and power components in a single protected location.
