FAQs
The enclosure uses front and rear 482.6 mm mounting angles that screw to the top and bottom of the depth stays. Begin with the frame alignment, attach mounting angles, then secure with the supplied 12 x 482.6 mm fasteners and 25 multi-tooth screws to ensure a rigid, vibration-resistant install suitable for industrial environments.
Key specs include 800 mm width, 2,000 mm height, 1,200 mm depth, 42 U of mounting space, load capacity up to 18,000 N (static 15,000 N to UL 2416), IK08 impact resistance, and CE compliance. The glazed front door and rear sheet-steel door provide secure access and visibility for critical equipment.
While well-suited for industrial automation and manufacturing floors, the VX IT enclosure's climate control, modular 19" mounting, and front/rear access also make it compatible with data centers and hybrid facilities that require robust, scalable IT/OT cabinets with reliable cooling and quick maintenance access.
The enclosure carries CE conformity, IK08 impact resistance, and UL 2416 compatibility for static loads, which matter for regulatory compliance, asset protection in vibration-prone environments, and reliable performance within mixed IT/OT installations.
ROI is driven by reduced downtime due to better cooling and easier access, lower maintenance labor from front/rear serviceability, and compliance-driven risk reduction. The product's 42 U capacity and dynamic mounting support scalable configurations, minimizing refresh cycles and supporting longer asset lifecycles.
