25" (63.5cm) Standard Controller Cabinet for Hydro-X Plus

What It Is

The SCC-3 is a modular electrical enclosure and wire management system designed specifically for TrolMaster's Hydro-X Plus (HCS-3) environmental controller. At 25 inches long, it is the standard-footprint cabinet in TrolMaster's SCC line — sized to house the HCS-3 controller alongside its associated device stations, power supplies, and RJ12 cable runs in one contained unit.

A pre-cut opening in the cabinet door accommodates the Hydro-X Plus main controller panel directly, so the touchscreen remains accessible while the internal wiring stays enclosed. Multiple pre-installed splitter boards provide over 40 aggregate RJ12 ports across five groups, giving you organized termination points for temperature stations, humidity stations, CO2 stations, lighting adapters, and programmable timer devices — all within the same box.

Who It's For

Any licensed cultivation operation running the TrolMaster Hydro-X Plus system should treat a dedicated controller cabinet as infrastructure — not an accessory. When you have multiple device stations daisy-chained across a grow room on RJ12 cables, a loose rack-mount or wall-mount installation creates real risk: cable pull-out, moisture ingress, and difficult troubleshooting during a room audit or state inspection.

The SCC-3 is especially relevant for facilities that require a clean, codified control panel layout — multi-light rooms, phased canopy builds, or any operation where an inspector or insurance auditor needs to see organized, protected electrical infrastructure. The IP56 rating means the enclosure holds up in humid cultivation environments where condensation and irrigation overspray are routine.

Key Features

The cabinet is rated IP56 — equivalent to NEMA 4X — meaning it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. To maintain this rating, the included controller rubber gasket must be fitted between the HCS-3 controller body and the cabinet door. The enclosure operates across 32°F–104°F (0°C–40°C), covering standard commercial grow room conditions.

Internal splitter board capacity breaks down across five groups: Board #1 (10 ports, top), Board #2 (6 ports, top), Board #3 (17 ports, top), Board #4 (2×4 detachable splitter bars, middle), and Board #5 (6 ports, bottom) plus 2 device ports — totaling a 4+1+6 power outlet configuration. Four long RJ12 cables, 16 short RJ12 cables, four OA6-series power cables, and a screw set are included in the box for a complete installation out of the gate.

The detachable design allows sections of the cabinet to be removed for maintenance or system reconfiguration without dismounting the full enclosure. This matters in a running facility where minimizing downtime during a device station swap or wiring change is a real operational consideration.

How It Fits a Build

The SCC-3 is the right-size cabinet for single-zone Hydro-X Plus builds where the controller and associated device stations can be consolidated in one 25-inch footprint. If your HCS-3 system is running near capacity — up to 8 temperature stations, 8 humidity stations, 4 CO2 stations, and 12 programmable device stations — and you need more internal real estate, TrolMaster's SCC-2 scales to 35 inches for Hydro-X Pro builds.

For facilities currently spec'ing out a new room or retrofit, the SCC-3 should be quoted alongside the HCS-3 controller and the device stations for that zone. Mounting the entire control stack into a single IP56 enclosure from day one is significantly cleaner than adding cable management retroactively.
