Rittal 5301446 Door for VX IT Enclosures - 85% Ventilated
Part Number: 5301446
Quick Summary
Rittal 5301446 door for VX IT enclosures provides a ventilated replacement for secure IT rack access. Engineers often struggle with heat buildup and uneven airflow when existing doors restrict ventilation. Typical approvals for industrial components include CE conformity and IP-rated protection, with a note that SIL requirements apply to control hardware rather than doors. This VX IT door is designed to support robust cooling, corrosion resistance, and reliable operation in harsh environments. The combination of 85 percent vented surface and precise fit minimizes pressure differentials while enabling straightforward installation, delivery of consistent airflow, and reduced maintenance downtime. Together, these features translate into improved system availability and lower total cost of ownership.

Product description
Aluminium / sheet steel door, ventilated for VX IT, to replace existing doors. The vented surface area is approx. 85% perforated. For enclosure width 800 mm, for enclosure height 2,000 mm
Ventilated surface provides approx. 85% perforation, enabling high air exchange and reduced hotspot risk inside VX IT enclosures. Business impact: lower enclosure temperatures, enhanced component longevity, and more stable operating conditions in crowded data/industrial environments. Application: ideal for VX IT enclosures sized at 800 mm wide by 2,000 mm tall, where consistent cooling is critical. Material composition combines a robust extruded aluminium frame with a sheet steel vent grille, plus anodised vertical profiles and spray-finished horizontals. This yields a durable, lightweight door that resists corrosion while supporting straightforward maintenance and serviceability. The hardware package includes three 180° hinges, a comfort handle, and a security lock (3524 E), enabling secure, user-friendly access and faster installation. Compatibility with existing mounting schemes reduces installation time and spare-part inventory. For baying, a 180° hinge is required, with stand-alone siting limited to 240° for safe, predictable door operation. Pack contents are 1 unit per pack, weighing 11.2 kg, with a documented environmental footprint of 42.7 kg CO2 eq (Cat B).

FAQs
The DK 5301.446 is designed specifically to replace doors on VX IT enclosures and fits enclosure widths of 800 mm and heights of 2000 mm. It mounts using the standard VX IT hinge and frame interfaces, enabling a straightforward, bolt-on replacement with no bespoke fabrication required. This compatibility minimizes downtime during retrofit projects and preserves existing mounting arrangements.
The vented surface, at approximately 85% perforation, significantly increases air exchange between the enclosure interior and the ambient environment. In practical terms, this reduces hot spots, improves component cooling, and supports higher-density IT deployments. For systems operating at higher thermal loads, this design helps maintain stable temperatures and reduces the need for additional cooling equipment.
Yes. The package includes three 180° hinges and mounting parts designed for quick replacement on VX IT doors. The door is intended as a direct replacement, aligning with standard VX IT mounting interfaces. If you plan baying between cabinets, a 180° baying hinge is required. For stand-alone installations, the door opening angle is limited to 240° to ensure safe operation.
The product carries industry-standard data such as ETIM 9 (EC000747) and ECLASS 8.0 (27182204), with a defined PCF category (Cat B: 42.7 kg CO2 eq per pack). While CE conformity and IP ratings are commonly relevant for enclosure components, verify overall system compliance for your region and application. The door is designed to meet typical industrial practice for durable, ventilated enclosure access.
Replacing a non-ventilated or aging door with the 85% vented DK 5301.446 door improves cooling efficiency, reducing the risk of component failure due to overheating. This translates to lower energy usage for auxiliary cooling, reduced downtime, and longer service intervals for the enclosure interior. The lightweight yet durable construction also minimizes installation effort and spare-part requirements, supporting a favorable total cost of ownership.
