UM1000 Malco Hinge – Stainless Steel Lift-Off Hinge for Outdoor FTTC Cabinets & Telecom Enclosures | Infinite Engineering Ltd

Product Overview:

• The UM1000, also referred to in the industry as the Malco Hinge, has been a trusted choice for outdoor electronics enclosures since its inception in the 1990s.
• Commonly used in FTTC cabinets, 5G networks, and telecom enclosures, it’s a top choice for manufacturers across the UK and Europe.
• Known for its high durability, weather resistance, and vandal-proof features.

Built for Tough Environments:

• Engineered to endure extreme weather and resist external damage.
• Constructed with solid cast 304 stainless steel for long-lasting reliability.
• Designed with four rear bosses that pass through the panel, providing robust support.
• Secured with two 4mm thick backing plates made from pressed stainless steel, held by stainless steel cap screws.

Material Improvements for Extra Strength:

• The original cast stainless steel backing plates were replaced with pressed stainless steel for better resistance to stress and abuse.
• The hinge pin, once part of the lower hinge, is now a separate pressed stainless steel component, boosting overall strength and simplifying the production process.

Modern Adaptations for Thinner Cabinets:

• As outdoor enclosure designs now often use thinner gauge materials, a 1mm precision-cut gasket was introduced to ensure the hinge maintains a tight, secure fit.
• This addition guarantees a proper seal even with thinner panel constructions.

Leading Industry Choice:

• The UM1000 Malco Hinge continues to be widely specified for outdoor enclosures across various industries.
• Despite minor material upgrades, the core design remains unchanged, proving its reliability in hundreds of applications across the UK and Europe.
