Rittal VX 5301.246 Side Panels for VX IT Enclosures - IP20
Part Number: 5301246
Quick Summary
Rittal VX 5301.246 Side Panels protect VX IT enclosures while ensuring clean access and airflow. Installers often grapple with maintaining IP protection while swapping panels in tight spaces, which can lead to downtime. Key certifications commonly associated with such enclosures include IP ratings (IP20) and CE marking, reinforcing safety and compliance in industrial settings. These panels use a powder-coated finish in RAL 7035 on sheet steel to survive harsh environments and maintain a professional look. For procurement and maintenance teams, the predictable fit, included mounting hardware, and straightforward assembly translate to faster project execution and lower lifecycle costs. Designed for VX IT enclosures up to height 2000 mm and depth 800 mm, they standardize configurations across sites and simplify future upgrades.
