Aerospace

Yes. AMCO offers enclosure solutions with EMI/RFI shielding options designed for sensitive aerospace and avionics applications.

AMCO rack systems are designed to support environments requiring vibration, shock, and environmental performance in accordance with applicable standards.

Yes. AMCO supports custom integration of displays, panels, and specialized electronics as part of spec-driven enclosure designs.

Lead times vary based on project requirements. AMCO works with customers early in the design process to establish realistic development and production schedules.

Financial

Secure financial environments benefit from lockable, tamper-resistant racks with strong structural integrity and support for airflow management.

Yes. AMCO offers custom rack configurations to support space constraints, branding standards, and operational requirements.

Lead times vary by configuration, but AMCO supports predictable manufacturing timelines for both standard and custom solutions.

AMCO Enclosures delivers engineered rack solutions designed for reliability, compliance, and long-term performance in financial IT environments.

Education

For classrooms and small closets, we recommend our compact enclosures. They save floor space and can be equipped with sound-dampening features to minimize noise disruption during lectures.

Yes. We offer a variety of frame sizes, including shorter height (12RU) units that fit under workbenches or on countertops, making them perfect for electronics labs and testing stations.

Absolutely. We have the manufacturing capacity to handle large-volume orders for district-wide upgrades, aligning with academic calendars and summer construction projects.

Security is a priority. All AMCO enclosures can be fitted with keyed or electronic locks. We also offer side panels and doors designed to prevent unauthorized access, which is essential for equipment located in student-accessible areas.

Government & Military

Yes. AMCO designs enclosures to meet specified military standard level requirements.

AMCO provides custom labeling, serialization, and documentation aligned with defense procurement needs.

Shielded enclosure options are available for EMI/RFI-sensitive applications.

AMCO supports NDA- and security-compliant engineering processes for sensitive programs.

Telecom

Our telecom line is engineered to support NEBS Level 3 criteria, including GR-63-CORE (Physical Protection) and GR-1089-CORE (EMC and Electrical Safety). We also offer UL-listed solutions for general safety compliance.

Absolutely. We work closely with Original Equipment Manufacturers to design custom enclosures that house specific telecom hardware. We can modify dimensions, mounting rails, and cooling profiles to create a “perfect fit” for your proprietary equipment.

Yes. We offer versatile cable management accessories that can segregate fiber and copper runs. This prevents crushing or bending of delicate fiber optics while managing the bulk and weight of copper bundles.

Because we manufacture in the USA, we offer competitive lead times compared to global suppliers. For standard NEBS-ready configurations, we can often ship quickly. Custom designs will follow a specific project timeline, which we will define during the consultation phase.
