Continued maritime threats including territorial disputes, smuggling, and piracy are driving countries to make greater investments in their naval capabilities. This includes adoption of the latest satellite communication technology as well as focusing on smaller vessels with enhanced weapon systems. Commercial marine operators are also enhancing their electronic security and communication systems.

For over three decades, Foremost Electronics Ltd, a Platinum Distributor for nVent SCHROFF has been a world leader among developers and manufacturers of electronics packaging components and systems. Whatever challenges customers may have to overcome, partnering with Foremost will deliver the right solution.

Wide range of dimensions

Wide range of accessories

HF shielding

Reduced development and manufacturing costs

19" standard, in accordance with RoHS.

A cabinet for individual requirements can be quickly and easily developed and validated by numerical simulation, saving lengthy and expensive tests in a laboratory. The elastic suspension is specially adapted to the mechanical environment and the resilience of the components. And at the same time, the dimensions and weight of the cabinet are tailored to any specific integration requirements. The final design is further validated using a model that has been calibrated in real tests using a finite element calculation.
