Rittal VX 5312.114 Enclosure - 19in, vented, 47U
Part Number: 5312114
Quick Summary
The Rittal VX 5312.114 enclosure provides vented 19” IT network/server housing for data centers and industrial automation racks. Engineers struggle with heat buildup and limited mounting space that slow deployment and complicate maintenance. Key standards include UL 2416 load rating, ETIM 9 classification, and ECLASS 8.0 alignment to support procurement and interoperability. This solution blends robust mechanical design with standard 482.6 mm mounting angles and a scalable footprint, delivering reliable cooling, easy integration into existing IT and automation ecosystems, and a lower total cost of ownership. By supporting front and rear access and passive cooling options, it reduces energy use and accelerates installation in retrofit projects.
