Rittal VX IT gland plate module VX 5301.344 - Zinc-Plated
Part Number: 5301344
Quick Summary
Rittal VX IT gland plate module is a versatile gland plate system designed for 800 mm wide VX IT enclosures, enabling flexible cable entry layouts. Engineers often confront rigid, one-piece gland plates that force compromises in routing and serviceability; this multi-piece design lets you freely sequence base modules and the sliding panel to match exact wiring paths. While industry standards commonly reference CE marking, IP ratings, and SIL integrity for control cabinet components, the VX IT gland plate module provides robust sheet steel with a zinc-plated finish to withstand demanding environments and provide long service life. The modular approach supports faster installation, predictable lead times, and lower lifecycle costs, delivering clear value for panel builders and integrators in manufacturing and data-center settings.

Product description
VX IT gland plate module, multi-piece, solid, for width 800 mm, W x D 800 x 1000 mm, sheet steel
Multi-piece gland plate set with a sliding panel enables bespoke cable entry paths, reducing rework when wiring changes occur. The base modules are solid, depth 237.5 mm each, while a deeper 275 mm module provides flexibility for internal cable routing. This configuration reduces the risk of crowding and improves cooling by avoiding unnecessary cable bends, resulting in faster commissioning and easier future upgrades. Sheet steel with a zinc-plated finish delivers corrosion resistance in demanding environments, extending enclosure longevity and lowering maintenance costs. The supply includes sealing tape and assembly parts, simplifying procurement and on-site assembly while improving seal integrity and reducing installation errors. Compatibility with VX IT enclosures of 800 mm width and 1,000 mm depth minimizes layout changes during cabinet modernization, helping engineers maintain consistent cabinet standards across plants. A modular sequence approach also supports standardized parts usage, reducing stock variety and improving procurement efficiency. The payload-friendly design supports easier handling during installation and retrofit projects, with a total pack weight of 7.96 kg and a single-pack configuration that aligns with common warehouse and field service workflows. In practice, customers see measurable gains in installation speed, reduced downtime, and predictable maintenance cycles.

FAQs
Begin by preparing the 800×1000 mm VX IT enclosure, then assemble the gland plate as a sequence of modules: place two base plates at 237.5 mm depth, fit the 275 mm depth base plate, and attach the 115 mm sliding panel. Apply sealing tape around the entry points, secure all assembly parts, and verify cable routing before commissioning.
The set is designed specifically for VX IT enclosures with width 800 mm and depth 1000 mm. It includes two 237.5 mm depth base modules, one 275 mm depth base module, and a 115 mm sliding panel, plus sealing tape and mounting parts, enabling free sequencing for customized cable entry without enclosure modification.
The provided data does not list explicit CE, IP, or SIL certifications for this exact gland plate module. Typical users should verify with Rittal or the supplier for current compliance. The product does specify environmental and classification details (ETIM EC002620, ECLASS 27189261) and uses a zinc-plated sheet steel build suitable for industrial environments.
Yes. The modular gland plate design permits tailored cable entries without fabricating custom plates, reducing rework. Included sealing tape and assembly parts speed up on-site setup, while the 7.96 kg pack weight aids handling. Standardized module sequencing minimizes parts diversity, cutting procurement time and waste during upgrades or maintenance.
The product reports a cradle-to-gate PCF of 30.3 kg CO2 eq (Category B), reflecting its metal-based construction and packaging. Sustainable benefits arise from modularity, which lowers upgrade waste, and from using zinc-plated sheet steel, which extends service life and reduces replacement frequency in harsh environments.
