FAQs
The VX 5310.128 uses standard 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles, mounted front and rear, allowing direct installation of 19" equipment. Its 600 mm width, 2,000 mm height, and 1,200 mm depth yield 42U of space. Free mounting space is 150 mm at the front and 330 mm at the rear, with a 720 mm distance between levels to accommodate diverse rack configurations.
Key specifications include IK08 impact protection and UL 2416 compliance for load capacity. The enclosure supports up to 15,000 N load capacity (with a static limit of 12,000 N per UL 2416) to withstand harsh industrial conditions, while the robust sheet steel construction and glazed front door contribute to reliable operation in demanding environments.
The supply includes the VX enclosure frame with doors and roof plate, glazed front door with 180° hinges, comfort handle and security lock, 482.6 mm mounting angles, spacers for passive cooling, required fasteners, and a multi-piece roof plate with cable entry. Packaging includes a pallet and necessary hardware to support straightforward installation and serviceability.
Ideal for edge data centers, manufacturing automation cabinets, and controlled IT rooms requiring robust climate management. The combination of front/rear access, 19" mounting compatibility, and passive cooling options makes it well-suited for scenarios needing reliable thermal control, visual access, and scalable IT/OT integration.
With front and rear access, 19" mounting levels, and included spacers for passive cooling, maintenance windows are shortened and airflow is easier to manage. The 42U capacity supports more equipment in a single cabinet, reducing rack footprint and installation costs while UL 2416 and IK08 ratings boost equipment reliability and lifetime value.
