Product description
VX IT, 19" mounting angles, standard, front and rear, glazed door, WHD: 800 x 2000 x 800 mm, 42 U
19-inch rack compatibility with standard 482.6 mm mounting angles provides a flexible, plug-and-play integration path for network gear. Business impact: faster deployments and fewer field modifications. Application: data centers, automation racks in control rooms. Glass front door for visibility and lockable access reduces maintenance cycles and enhances security, enabling quick visual checks without compromising airflow. This front/rear glazing supports monitoring and serviceability in busy environments. The enclosure uses rugged materials—a sheet steel frame, aluminum front door, and powder-coated rear/roof components—delivering durability in industrial settings and extending service life, which lowers replacement costs. With a load capacity of 8,000 N, it safely supports dense server and switch configurations while maintaining structural integrity during peak operations. Dimensions of 800 mm width, 2,000 mm height, and 800 mm depth (42 U) align with standard rack footprints, easing cabinet planning and future expansions. Mounting angles positioned at the 482.6 mm (19") level front and rear enable flexible internal layouts and easy retrofits. The roof is prepared for fan mounting and side cable entry, supporting both passive cooling and active airflow strategies, which translates into stable operating temperatures and reduced energy use.

FAQs
The VX IT enclosure uses standard 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles and supports 42 U of rack space, making it straightforward to mount common networking switches, servers, and storage. With front and rear mounting options, you can optimize cable routing, optimize airflow, and simplify future expansions without custom fabrication.
The rear roof design is prepared for a fan mounting plate and includes spacers to raise a cover plate above the fan cut-out, enabling passive cooling or the addition of active cooling. This facilitates controlled airflow, minimizes hot spots, and helps maintain stable internal temperatures in dense IT deployments.
Yes. With a 42 U capacity, 800×2000×800 mm footprint, front glazing, and robust IK08-rated construction, it serves both data center racks and automation cabinets. The sturdy sheet steel construction and powder-coated finish withstand industrial conditions, while lockable doors and secure mounting options meet facility security and reliability requirements.
The enclosure carries IK08 impact resistance and UL 2416-compliant load performance, confirming durability against physical impacts and reliable structural integrity for network equipment. While CE marking and other certifications may be present for broader compliance, IK08 and UL 2416 specifically address mechanical robustness and safe static loading in challenging environments.
The durable finishes, modular 19" mounting rails, front/rear access, and ready-for-fan mounting reduce maintenance time and downtime during upgrades. Its 8,000 N load capacity supports growing hardware footprints, enabling longer asset lifecycles and lower total cost of ownership by delaying cabinet replacement and simplifying service events.
