Rittal VX IT 5311.126 Enclosure - IK08, 42U, 19in
Part Number: 5311126
Quick Summary
Rittal VX IT 5311.126 enclosure provides climate-controlled 19" IT racks for data centers and industrial control rooms. Facility teams often struggle with space constraints, inconsistent cooling, and complex cable routing during upgrades or expansions. Key protections include IK08 impact resistance and UL 2416 compliance, helping to mitigate risk in harsh environments. With front and rear access, glazed front for visibility, and standard 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles, it supports scalable IT deployment while maintaining predictable airflow. This enclosure delivers repeatable performance, simplifies procurement, and reduces total cost of ownership through modular design and robust build.

FAQs
Yes. The enclosure uses standard 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles with front and rear mounting levels, matching most 19" network and server gear. It supports front and rear access, 42U of space, and includes the required hardware to streamline initial rack assembly and future expansions.
Key specs include a 42U unit with dimensions of 800 × 2000 × 1200 mm, IK08 impact protection, a maximum static load per UL 2416 of 12,000 N, and a full front glazed aluminium door plus a rear sheet steel door. The weight per pack is 116 kg, with a robust sheet steel frame and aluminium components for durability.
It is ideal for data centers, industrial control rooms, and mixed IT/OT environments where reliable climate control, 19" rack mounting, and secure access are needed. The unit supports passive cooling options with spacers and is designed for scalable IT deployment with front and rear accessibility for maintenance and upgrades.
The product explicitly features IK08 protection and UL 2416 compliance for load ratings. ECLASS 8.0 and ETIM 9 identifiers are listed (27180207 and EC002499, respectively). CE marking is not stated in the provided data, so verify regional requirements for European installations where CE might be expected.
Pre-supplied mounting angles, connectors, and spacers reduce initial install time, while front and rear access simplify ongoing maintenance. The durable finish and robust construction help minimize replacement cycles in demanding environments, contributing to lower long-term maintenance costs and a favorable total cost of ownership for mid-to-large scale IT deployments.
