Combination extruded and cast metal outdoor electronics enclosure

An electronics enclosure, the enclosure comprising:

• an extruded backplane having a first length, the backplane comprising first slots on opposing sides of the backplane and along the first length, the backplane further including an extruded hinge feature along the first length;
• at least two cast metal plates coupled to opposing ends of the extruded backplane, each of the cast metal plates comprising a second slot that aligns with the first slots of the backplane to form a continuous channel for inserting a seal;
• and
• at least one door panel of the first length, the door panel comprising an extruded hinge for pivotally coupling the door panel to the extruded hinge feature of the extruded backplane.

An enclosure for electrical equipment, configured to enclose electronic components and dissipate heat to an external environment, the enclosure comprising:

• an extruded backplane configured to secure one or more electronic components in place, the backplane having a first length, the backplane comprising first slots on opposing sides of the backplane, wherein the first slots extend along the first extruded length;
• a first door panel of the first length coupled to a first side of the extruded backplane and configured to rotate between an open position and a closed position with extruded hinges;
• a second door panel of the first length coupled to a second side of the extruded backplane and configured to rotate between an open position and a closed position with extruded hinges;
• at least two cast metal plates coupled to opposing ends of the backplane, each of the cast metal plates having a second slot that aligns with the first slots of the extruded backplane to form a continuous channel for inserting a seal;
• and
• wherein each of the first and second door panels comprise a first extruded section and a second extruded section which form an angle such that, when in the closed position, the first and second door panels interconnect with each other and together abut at least three sides of the at least two cast metal plates to enclose the one or more electronic components.
