Product description
VX IT, 19" mounting angles, standard, front and rear, vented, WHD: 800 x 1200 x 1000 mm, 24 U
The VX IT enclosure uses standard 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles, mounted at both front and rear, enabling rapid integration of a wide range of 19" equipment and simplifying cable management for clean, organized layouts. This directly reduces installation time and risk of misalignment, while supporting scalable configurations for future upgrades. In practice, the result is predictable airflow paths and easier maintenance in busy control rooms and data centers. The vented front door and roof surface promote passive cooling, lowering energy consumption and extending component life in hot environments, with airflow optimization for dense IT loads. This is especially valuable in manufacturing environments where equipment heat output fluctuates and space is at a premium.
