Rittal VX 5309.136 IT Enclosure - 42U Front/Rear Glazed IP55
Part Number: 5309136
Quick Summary
Rittal VX 5309.136 IT enclosure protects critical network and server gear in climate-controlled environments. Operators often struggle with tight spaces, uneven cooling, and difficult cable routing in compact data centers, leading to downtime and maintenance headaches. With IP55 protection when baying seals are used and IK08 impact resistance, this cabinet delivers rugged reliability in harsh environments while CE-compliant construction ensures regulatory alignment. The 42U capacity, front and rear 19" mounting rails, and a glazed front door simplify expansion, service, and long-term total cost of ownership for IT rooms and industrial facilities. It integrates with standard 19" equipment and supports scalable, future-ready configurations.

This design supports easy integration of standard 19" equipment while maintaining secure cable routing and alignment within a 800 x 2000 x 1000 mm footprint.
The enclosure achieves IP55 protection when used with the baying seal or screw-fastened side panels, protecting interior components from dust and water ingress in exposed or harsh environments. This makes it suitable for industrial IT rooms and semi-outdoor installations where environmental protection is critical.
The cabinet provides 42 U of usable space across an 800 mm width, 2000 mm height, and 1000 mm depth. 482.6 mm (19") mounting levels are positioned front and rear with a 720 mm distance between levels, enabling organized, scalable layouts and straightforward upgrades of IT and network gear.
The enclosure supports a load capacity of up to 15,000 N with a maximum static load of 12,000 N per UL standards. It carries IK08 impact resistance for rugged environments. These ratings ensure reliable support for densely populated racks and heavy equipment while maintaining structural integrity during service operations.
Key components are made from sheet steel with aluminium front door and a powder-coated rear/roof and primed inner elements. The general color is RAL 7035, with front doors in silver-colored vertical sections and RAL 9005 accents for interior components. The combination provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that withstands industrial use while maintaining a professional data-center appearance.
