What it is
A Facebook post from Chatsworth Products mentions that as power density increases in edge computing environments to 5–10 kW per enclosure, the enclosure itself becomes a thermal constraint. The excerpt snippet repeats the opening line but provides no additional detail.
Why it matters
The 5–10 kW power density range represents a thermal threshold for edge enclosures, potentially affecting IT/network engineers planning edge deployments. However, without details on power distribution, cooling integration, UPS constraints, or installation tradeoffs, the relevance to FMP distribution and install practices cannot be established.

Open questions
- What power distribution or UPS constraints emerge at this density threshold?
- How do thermal limits affect enclosure placement and circuit planning in edge environments?
