FAQs
To install, slide the partition into the bay with a 3 mm baying gap and align the left and right corners so the Ø40 mm entry holes line up. Use the external baying connector as specified (3 mm). The included two cover caps seal the holes to preserve the IP20 rating. Ensure the partition sits securely before reassembling adjacent panels.
Key specs include sheet steel, zinc-plated construction for durability, a single Ø40 mm hole on each of the left and right corner areas for cabling, and a supplied set of two cover caps. The part is designed for rack mounting between VX IT enclosures and is rated IP20 when caps are fitted.
Yes. The partition provides a dedicated cabling channel between bayed VX IT enclosures, improving organization and airflow. It supports scalable rack configurations, reduces cable clutter, and simplifies future reconfigurations—beneficial in automation, machinery control panels, and data-center simplified rack setups.
The partition carries an IP20 rating with fitted caps, addressing dust exposure in typical environments. It also aligns with ETIM EC002525 and ECLASS 27189234 for standardized procurement and cataloging, with the product traceable by EAN 4028177954809.
Using the partition reduces time spent on cable rerouting during reconfigurations and minimizes downtime. The durable zinc-plated steel withstands industrial environments, and the integrated caps preserve protection. Overall, this translates to lower maintenance costs and faster changeovers in VX IT baying scenarios.
