IP55 indicates an ingress protection rating. The first "5" represents dust protection: dust ingress is not entirely prevented, but must not interfere with safe, normal operation. The second "5" indicates protection against water jets from any direction.

IP55 is neither fully dust-tight nor submersible. When selecting IP55 rack enclosures, electrical enclosures, or outdoor signage enclosures, verify doors, gaskets, cable glands, vents, and viewing windows. Final protection depends on model-specific specs or test reports.
