Rittal VX 5308.190 VX IT Enclosure - IP55
Part Number: 5308190
Quick Summary
Rittal VX IT enclosure provides rugged climate-controlled housing for electrical and automation assemblies in industrial settings. It protects sensitive equipment from dust, moisture, and temperature swings while delivering easy access for maintenance. In tight production areas, mounting inside a standard 482.6 mm (19 in) interior isn't always feasible; VX IT can be ordered without this interior installation to let you configure your own rack layout. The front is a glazed aluminium door with visibility into the cabinet, while the rear is a solid sheet steel door with robust hinges, supporting flexible access. With IP55 protection and IK08 impact resistance, this cabinet supports reliable operation in harsh environments. The 42U capacity and carefully chosen materials make it a scalable, cost-efficient solution for IT and automation projects.

Product description
VX IT, without 482.6 mm (19") interior installation, glazed door, WHD: 600 x 2000 x 1000 mm, 42 U, IP 55
Feature: The VX IT enclosure measures 600 mm wide, 2,000 mm high, and 1,000 mm deep, delivering a 42 U interior that accommodates standard 19 in racks and a generous breathing space for cabling. Business impact: This capacity reduces the need for multiple cabinets, minimizes wiring complexity, and speeds up changes in line configurations without sacrificing accessibility. Application: Ideal for housing PLCs, drives, power distribution, and control electronics in manufacturing, utilities, and building automation environments. Feature: It uses sheet steel construction with an aluminium glazed front door and a 3 mm safety glass, finished by dipcoat priming and powder coating for durability and corrosion resistance. Business impact: The robust shell maintains visibility into the internal components and resists the wear of busy plant floors, reducing maintenance intervals. Application: Suitable for front-of-line cabinets and IT equipment that require clear monitoring, robust sealing, and long service life in demanding environments. Feature: The front door is glazed aluminium with 180° hinges, while the rear door is solid sheet steel with 130° hinges. Business impact: This dual-door design delivers flexible access from either side, easing component installation, hot-swapping, and routine maintenance in tight spaces. Application: Particularly beneficial when cabinets are mounted against walls or between equipment rows where access angles matter and service efficiency matters. Feature: IP55 protection, achievable in conjunction with baying seal or screw-fastened side panels, and IK08 impact resistance. Business impact: The combination minimizes dust ingress, water exposure, and mechanical shocks, extending mean time between failures and reducing unplanned downtime. Application: Essential for industrial automation, chemical or dust-laden environments, data and power distribution cabinets, and outdoor-adjacent sites. Feature: Supplied with a base tray with gland plate, a one-piece roof plate, lockable handles for front and rear, 12 x 482.6 mm (19 in) fasteners, and 25 conductive screws, plus a baying seal kit. Business impact: Speeds up installation, ensures reliable grounding and EMI performance, and simplifies later upgrades with standard 19 in equipment compatibility. Application: Ready-to-run 19 in equipment support with modular accessories for customization and scalable IT/automation deployments.

FAQs
To install the VX 5308.190 without the 19 inch interior, begin by placing the empty enclosure on a stable base tray and attaching the gland plate. Then mount 19 inch equipment with the supplied fasteners and seal entries with the baying seal. Ensure rear and front doors are correctly oriented and locked. Finally complete cable routing and verify IP55 sealing.
Key specifications include dimensions of 600x2000x1000 mm, a 42U interior, IP55 protection, IK08 impact resistance, and a glazed aluminium front door with 180° hinges. The rear door is solid steel with 130° hinges, base tray with gland plate, and roof plate. Weight is 86.4 kg per pack; EAN is 4028177945043; packaging is 1 unit per pack.
Yes. The VX IT enclosure is designed for direct climate control in industrial IT and automation applications. It offers IP55 protection with proper sealing and a glazed front for visibility, along with 42U of mounting space and standard 19 inch rails to accommodate cooling components, controllers, and power distribution within a compact footprint.
The enclosure provides IP55 protection and IK08 impact resistance, combined with a 3 mm safety glass front door. This ensures robust ingress protection against dust and water when used with the appropriate seals, along with mechanical protection suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Key ROI drivers include reduced downtime from enhanced protection and easier access, consolidated 42U capacity reducing the number of cabinets, and faster deployment aided by supplied base tray, gland plate, and fasteners. Durable finishes and seals lower maintenance costs, while standard 19 inch compatibility minimizes upgrade expenses over the equipment lifecycle.
