Product description
VX IT, 19" mounting angles, dynamic, front and rear, glazed door, WHD: 800 x 2000 x 1000 mm, 42 U
42U capacity and precise 800×2000×1000 mm dimensions provide ample room for current and future IT gear, enabling consolidations and fewer cabinet spares while maintaining efficient airflow. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 42U IT enclosure with a 482.6 mm (19") mounting frame front and rear offers scalable rack integration for multi-vendor gear, reducing deployment time and simplifying maintenance in data centers and industrial IT rooms. The dynamic mounting angles facilitate quick reconfiguration to accommodate changing load and cooling needs, improving uptime and reducing downtime during upgrades. The glazed front door in aluminium combines visibility with security, allowing operators to monitor activity while protecting delicate components; the solid rear door adds robust cabinet integrity for rugged environments such as manufacturing floors. Material and finish choices—sheet steel, aluminium, safety glass, and powder-coated components—deliver long service life and reduced maintenance costs, with a corrosion-resistant surface suitable for mixed indoor environments. The roof plate is prepared for fan mounting and includes spacers for passive cooling, enabling energy-efficient cooling options without compromising enclosure integrity. The included 12× 482.6 mm fasteners, 25 multi-tooth screws, and spacers simplify installation and ensure a stable, grounded assembly, reducing retrofit risk. Weight and transport considerations are addressed with a per-pack weight of 122 kg and a clear pallet-ready packaging approach, supporting safer handling and site readiness. This enclosure aligns with standard 19" equipment footprints, easing procurement of compatible IT hardware and accessories while offering a professional, standards-aligned solution for climate-controlled IT housing. Compatibility with standard 19-inch rack gear and the option for fan-assisted cooling make it suitable for data centers, edge computing deployments, and industrial control rooms where reliable protection and serviceability matter.

FAQs
Begin by aligning the VX IT 5309.826 enclosure with the 482.6 mm (19") mounting frame in the front and rear. Use the supplied 12 × 482.6 mm fasteners to secure the frame to the base or rack system, then attach the 19" mounting angles top and bottom as specified. Verify cable entry and door clearance before powering up. The dynamic mounting angles simplify reconfiguration if you add or move equipment later, reducing downtime during expansion.
Key specs include a 42U cabinet with dimensions 800 mm wide, 2000 mm high, 1000 mm deep; front glazed aluminium door and solid rear door; IK08 impact protection; weight around 122 kg per pack; load capacity up to 18,000 N (static 15,000 N per UL 2416); and a roof plate designed for passive or active cooling with fan mounting options.
Yes. The enclosure is designed for direct climate control tailored to the enclosure, with a roof plate prepared for a fan mounting plate and spacers for passive cooling. This enables efficient cooling for high-density IT deployments while preserving equipment integrity and serviceability in data centers or industrial IT rooms.
Absolutely. The front is a glazed aluminium door with 180° hinges, and the rear is a solid sheet steel door with 180° hinges, allowing full front and rear access. This design supports convenient installation, cable management, and maintenance without relocating the cabinet.
The enclosure features IK08 impact protection and UL 2416 compatibility for static load performance, aligning with demanding safety and reliability requirements in industrial and data-center environments.
