Product description
VX IT, 19" mounting angles, standard, front and rear, glazed door, WHD: 800 x 1200 x 1000 mm, 24 U
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VX IT enclosure provides 24 U of mounting space with 19" mounting angles (482.6 mm) front and rear, enabling rapid IT rack deployments and standardized equipment fitment across automation networks. This translates to faster project timelines, reduced commissioning risk, and improved cable management for scalable industrial IT setups. Application-wise, it suits dense control cabinets and data-hungry network racks in factory floors where reliability matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A glazed aluminium front door with vertical sections and a robust sheet-steel rear door offers clear visibility and solid protection, delivering heightened security without compromising access. This supports quick maintenance cycles and minimizes device exposure during service in manufacturing environments. Application-wise, it is ideal for visual monitoring of critical IT gear in control rooms and data centers. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The roof plate is prepared for a fan mounting plate with side cable entry and spacers to elevate a cover plate for passive cooling, reducing energy use by supporting passive cooling strategies and lowering fan-related maintenance. Application-wise, it enables optimized thermal management for dense IT loads in automated systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A load capacity of up to 15,000 N (12,000 N static per UL 2416) and IK08 protection deliver rugged mechanical resilience, minimizing unplanned downtime due to equipment misalignment or impact on the factory floor. This is particularly valuable for remote installations or floor-mounted cabinets in industrial environments. Application-wise, it supports robust protection for critical IT infrastructure in manufacturing, oil & gas, and process automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Comprehensive supply includes mounting angles, spares for passive cooling, screws, and a durable roof plate, simplifying installation logistics and reducing on-site procurement needs. This makes deployment faster and more cost-effective for system integrators and OEMs. Application-wise, it streamlines project handoffs and long-term maintenance planning in automation projects. The enclosure uses standard dimensions and finishes (W 800 mm x H 1200 mm x D 1000 mm; 24 U; RAL 7035 frame; front door in RAL 9005 accents) to ensure compatibility with a wide range of industrial IT equipment and accessories.
