Aquapac Large VHF Classic Waterproof Case — IPX8 Submersible Large Radio Protection

Aquapac Large VHF Classic Case: Submersible Field Protection for Full-Size Transceivers

The Aquapac Large VHF Classic Case is an institutional-grade submersible protective enclosure engineered for full-sized handheld VHF radios, satellite phones, and extended two-way transceivers. Designed specifically to accommodate radios with longer whip antennas or bulky high-capacity batteries, this case ensures unbroken, clear voice communications for commercial marine crews, coast guard units, public safety teams, and industrial site personnel working in extreme aquatic and foul-weather conditions.

Manufactured from high-durability, UV-stabilized Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) with high-frequency die-welded seams, the case features symmetrical optically clear panels to accommodate both left- and right-handed antenna placements. The flexible TPU material is acoustically transparent, allowing full speaker output and microphone voice capture directly through the sealed enclosure with no perceptible loss in audio clarity. Sealed via Aquapac's patented rustproof Aquaclip 4-lever twist-lock system, the Model 248 provides certified IPX8 waterproofing down to 10 meters (30 feet) and provides positive buoyancy to prevent device loss if dropped overboard.

Key Benefits:

• IPX8 Continuous Submersion: Certified waterproof up to a depth of 10 meters (30 feet), ensuring complete hermetic defense against deep submersion, high-pressure spray, and saltwater corrosion.
• Expanded Capacity Design: Sized specifically for large marine VHF radios, satellite handsets, and transceivers equipped with long whip antennas or high-capacity battery packs.
• Uninhibited Voice & RF Transmission: Material density permits full acoustic clarity for clear voice communications and zero radio frequency signal interference.
• Ambidextrous Antenna Alignment: Dual-sided clear housing design allows seamless installation of radios with left- or right-side mounted antennas.
• Inherent Over-Water Buoyancy: Trapped air space ensures the sealed unit floats on the water surface for easy recovery during maritime operations.
• Patented Polymer Aquaclip Seal: Corrosion-proof, injection-molded lever mechanism provides a positive, repeatable seal resistant to sand, mud, and salt deposits.
• 5-Year Commercial Warranty: Backed by Aquapac's 5-year warranty, satisfying fleet procurement standards for institutional and agency buyers.
