Design and manufacture of customised telecommunications cabinets, shelters and enclosures
Shelter and outdoor cabinets
Designed to protect and integrate critical telecom equipment in the most demanding environments, where reliability and protection are essential. They optimise TCO (total cost of ownership), reduce deployment times by up to 50% and minimise maintenance and incidents, extending equipment lifespan by between 30% and 40%.
At Berrade, our commitment is full adaptation to the requirements of each project. To achieve this, we use materials such as steel, stainless steel or aluminium depending on installation requirements, together with anti-corrosion finishes that ensure high resistance to weather conditions, vandalism and long-term wear.
Other customisation options may include ventilation solutions, IP/IK protection, thermal management or secure access systems, ensuring an investment aligned with operational and budgetary objectives.
In addition, all our shelters and cabinets are customisable in design, dimensions, internal layout, colour and logo or branding according to the requirements of the end user.

Indoor telco cabinets
Custom telecommunications racks
They are designed to address common challenges in complex technical deployments, like lack of space, internal disorganisation, difficult access and costly maintenance.
They allow faster and more organised installation, facilitate technical intervention, improve equipment traceability and reduce operational costs by avoiding unnecessary overspecification while ensuring a solution aligned with the real needs of the project.
Galvanised or painted steel.
Customisable in dimensions, internal layout and accessories to securely integrate ODFs, switches, power supply or active equipment.
Depending on location (IP20/IP21 indoors or integrated within outdoor cabinets).
They allow the incorporation of forced ventilation solutions, ventilation grilles or passive cooling solutions depending on equipment density and installation environment, ensuring continuous hardware operation.

FAQs
How is the design process defined for a customised cabinet or rack?
The process begins with analysing the thermal load, available space, number and type of equipment, and the specific requirements for access, cooling and installation security.
What advantages does customisation offer compared with standard models?
Custom design and manufacturing allow the enclosure to be adapted to architectural constraints, security requirements, aesthetic integration, and specific cabling or power distribution needs.
What aspects should be documented when ordering a customised rack?
Parameters such as exact dimensions (height, width, depth), number of rack units (U), ventilation systems, door type (solid, perforated or glazed), rear and side access, cable management and locking mechanisms must be defined.
How is cooling managed in customised solutions?
Customisation enables the integration of fans, cooling systems, temperature sensors and adapted doors to improve heat dissipation and environmental monitoring.
What are the main regulatory challenges in customised projects?
Enclosures must comply with ICT regulations (Common Telecommunications Infrastructure), as well as European electrical safety and fire protection standards.
Depending on the design or deployment environment, additional certifications may also be required.
Which support and warranty services are most valued by users of customised enclosures?
The services most valued by our clients typically include installation documentation, turnkey installation support, extended technical assistance and enhanced warranties on custom-made parts and components.
How do budget and delivery time influence the choice of customised solutions?
Although the initial cost is typically higher than standard solutions, at Berrade we have demonstrated that our solutions reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and implementation time (up to 40% faster).
The flexibility and adaptability they offer offset this in complex projects.
Manufacturing lead times vary depending on the level of customisation and component availability.
