The WX_AC_HARDCASE from Softing IT Networks is a hard-shell case, specifically developed for use with WireXpert network test devices. It serves as a robust transport and protective packaging for the devices in demanding construction site and industrial environments. The case is made of high-strength polypropylene plastic, ensuring high mechanical stability and resistance to impact, pressure, and contamination. The construction is designed for use under challenging conditions, with the material selection supporting outdoor use or environments exposed to dust and moisture.

Hard-shell case

The case features an injection-moulded construction made of polypropylene, a thermoplastic material known for its high strength, chemical resistance, and resistance to environmental influences. This material choice ensures that the device inside the case is protected from mechanical damage, dust, and moisture. The design is tailored to the dimensions of the WireXpert test device, ensuring secure and non-slip placement.

Application areas

The case is primarily designed for use on construction sites, in industrial environments, or during technical installations where high mechanical loads and environmental influences occur. It is particularly suitable for transporting and storing network test devices used daily under harsh conditions. The robust construction protects the device even during transport over uneven or rough surfaces.

Functions and equipment in detail

The case is equipped with an inlay in black. The inlay serves as a form-stable insert that securely fixes the device and protects it from shifting or damage caused by movement within the case. The inlay structure is designed to match the geometry of the WireXpert device, ensuring an optimal fit. The black colour is functional and provides a contrasting yet unobtrusive visual appearance.

Technology explained simply

The use of polypropylene as a material offers an excellent combination of strength, lightweight design, and weather resistance. The material is resistant to many chemicals, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations, making the case suitable for use in various environments. Injection moulding enables precise shaping with uniform wall thickness, enhancing stability and protective function.

Compatibility and accessories

The case is specifically designed for WireXpert network test devices. It is not intended for other devices or models, as the inlay shape and dimensions are tailored to the WireXpert product. Compatibility is defined by manufacturer number 228025 and type WX_AC_HARDCASE.

Mounting and installation

The case requires no mounting or installation. It is simply opened, the device is placed into the inlay, and the lid is closed. Handling is intuitive and requires no tools or additional mounting components. The closure mechanism is not described in detail, but the construction is designed to securely hold the device inside.

Advantages in operation

The case provides reliable protection for the network test device during transport and storage. The robust hard-shell construction prevents damage from mechanical impacts, while the inlay ensures secure positioning of the device. The material selection ensures long service life and resistance to environmental influences, increasing operational reliability. The case is thus a practical tool for professionals using their measurement devices under harsh conditions.
