One of my favorite lines of enclosures for many years now has been the
Mod-U-Line Chassis and the Mod-U-Box enclosures. These were initially
designed by Intra-Fab in San Jose (or thereabouts) about 10 or 12 years ago.
That was when I started using them. They have since sold the design and
manufacturing rights to Precision Fabrication Technologies, Inc., State Road 16
West, Monon, IN 47959. Phone 1.800.558.7297, or 219.253.6666 in Indiana.
I have not used any of the enclosures manufactured by PFT, so cannot comment
on their manufacturing quality. But the product line looks the same.
The nice thing about this line is that all the pieces are universal, so you
are not "stuck" with set sizes or options. You can order the faceplate you
want in the color you want, add either rack mount side plates or "handle" style
side plates, you can order the depth you want, etc. It is a modular product
line ... Mod-U-Line.
Check it out. Hope this helps.
