Looking for a small form factor enclosure for a Mercury EP-1501 board. POE power will be sufficient for power, so all I need is an enclosure to house and mount the board.
Trove panels seem like extreme overkill, and Life Safety Power are also not necessary due to not needing power.
What are all you professionals using in this type of application?
If you have an account at an electrical supply house or telecom supplier, they usually have a selection of hinged metal enclosures to pick from, ie:
I've used a '3R' type NEMA enclosure with padlock dog, but you can find keyed ones and ones that aren't NEMA rated.
I used to use Altronix battery cabinets when I needed generic enclosures. Still do, actually, just hid a mess of power supply cables in one in my garage. They're reasonably priced (BC100 is ~$30), have knockouts so you don't have to drill them yourself like a lot of cheaper cabinets, and you can put a lock on them.
Why not use the LSP E5 can which is designed to hold one 1501 controller?
A 1501 will fit in a 3-gang electrical box.
