DataComm Electronics Launches New Structured Media Enclosure Design

DataComm Electronics has introduced a newly redesigned line of structured media enclosures engineered to improve installation efficiency and reduce overall project costs for both multifamily and single-family construction.

Available in four sizes—15”, 21”, 30”, and 42”—the new enclosures provide flexibility across a wide range of residential applications. A key enhancement is the built-in rear mounting system, which supports cable management and device mounting directly inside the enclosure, eliminating the need for additional accessories and helping contractors reduce material and labor costs.

The enclosure also features side mounting tabs, allowing for easier retrofit installations and wall depth adjustments in the field. Designed with multifamily construction in mind, the packaging minimizes job-site footprint and waste, while the cost-efficient design makes the enclosures an attractive option for single-family homes as well.

This new enclosure design reinforces DataComm Electronics’ commitment to delivering practical, installer-focused solutions that simplify construction workflows while supporting today’s connectivity needs.

UNV IP Speaker transforms traditional video monitoring into an active deterrence solution, enhancing overall situational awareness and site safety.

Support Is Part of the Design

In many network projects, support is treated as something that happens after installation—when an issue appears and someone gets called. But in reality, the quality of support an integrator can deliver is largely determined during the design phase. Modern networks now carry voice, video, automation, POS systems, and cloud applications that clients rely on every day. When problems arise, the challenge isn’t just fixing them—it’s identifying the cause quickly and restoring normal operation without disruption.

At WhyReboot, we treat support as a design requirement. The networks we engineer are built to be easier to understand, isolate, and recover. Segmentation limits the blast radius of failures, thoughtful architecture speeds troubleshooting, and capacity planning reflects how sites actually operate over time—not just on day one. These choices are intentional because they directly affect how efficiently a network can be supported long after installation.

That same mindset extends to how we support integrators. At WhyReboot, our team provides 24/7/365 support with real humans who understand the networks we design and the environments they operate in. Because support is built into both the architecture and the partnership, issues are resolved faster, escalations are simpler, and integrators aren’t left managing uncertainty. When design and support work together, networks stay reliable, integrators stay confident, and clients experience systems that simply work.

Wisdom Audio’s new All Weather Line Source loudspeakers deliver more consistent sound pressure levels and improved horizontal dispersion compared to point source speakers, providing more even coverage and a better listening experience, ideal for outdoor spaces.
