This is a listing of Equipment Enclosures and Transport Case
manufacturers. The types of products or equipment they produce are listed
under the company name, in alphabetic order. There are a number of terms,
which all mean the same thing, used to describe an electronic enclosure
which hold circuit cards: Case, Chassis, Crate, Mainframe, and Enclosure.
The enclosures may also be sub-divided into Rack-Mount, Wall-mount,
Tower, or table-top; Commercial, Industrial, Rugged, or Military. A
Sub-rack is not a complete electronic enclosure and may only include a
metal frame and a card cage. A Card Cage has no enclosure at all and is
just a frame [with card guides] to support the particular CCA form factor
used.
If the Chassis is produced for a particular card form factor, for example
cPCI, then you can also check that
particular BUS page for more data.
Also check the
COTS card vendors page for a listing of
CCA manufacturers.

The types of products or equipment they produce are listed under the company name, in alphabetic order.
There are a number of terms, which all mean the same thing, used to describe an electronic enclosure which hold circuit cards:
Case, Chassis, Crate, Mainframe, and Enclosure, not including sub-rack or other terms just relating to a card cage.
The enclosures may also be sub-divided into Rack-Mount, Wall-mount, Tower, or table-top; Commercial, Industrial, Rugged, or Military.
A Sub-rack is not a complete electronic enclosure and may only include a metal frame and a card cage.
A Card Cage has no enclosure at all and is just a frame [with card guides] to support the particular CCA form factor used.
An inverted case is a transport case which has the lid as the base, the smaller fixed portion is at the bottom.
Footlocker cases are of course cases that would fit the conception of a footlocker, but in this instance are also transportable.
