Witam!

Jak należy przetłumaczyć szafa/szafka dystrybucyjna w kontekście elektryki.

Przykład zdania:Instalacja logiczna doprowadzona będzie z lokalnych szafek dystrybucyjnych do poszczególnych punktów dostępowych.
Chodzić o logiczną siec komputerową.

Z góry dziękuję.

distribution cabinet
Explanation:
I've worked as an Electrical Engineer (US English native) for over 15 years in the telecommunications industry. The proper translation is "distribution cabinet". "Frame" and "Panel" are wrong, since these are not enclosures (szafa is a type of enclosure). "Box" is somewhat better, but the normal industry term is "distribution cabinet".

disagree  Paul Denisowski: "Szafa" is a cabinet (i.e. an enclosure). A distribution frame is not a "szafa" Do a Google images search of "distribution frame", "distribution cabinet", and "szafka dystrybucyjna" (I've been an Electrical Engineer in telecom for 15+ years)

neutral  Paul Denisowski: A distribution board is not the same as a distribution box. "Box" is closer, but the correct word is "cabinet"
