Protect cameras, lenses, photographic and optical equipment, mobile electronics, and other valuables from excessive moisture, dirt, and dust with the Ruggard EDC-50L-WO Electronic Dry Cabinet. The cabinet's fast-acting TE Cooling Wafer regulates the interior's relative humidity from 60-35% to help prevent fungus and corrosion that can damage delicate gear and other sensitive materials. Humidity adjustments take place over a 1- to 3-hour period.

The large LCD screen displays ambient temperature (in Fahrenheit or Celsius) and the relative humidity. The cabinet is gasket-sealed to maintain humidity levels.

The door features a keyed lock that keeps the cabinet contents safe and secure, and prevents unauthorized access to your equipment. The lock comes complete with two keys.

The Electronic Dry Cabinet has no fan or compressor to make noise, so it provides silent operation. It is also dripless, eliminating the need for a messy water tray that requires draining. The cabinet is powered by an included multi-voltage power supply.
