Product description
VX IT Compartment Rack, vented, 19" mounting angles front and rear, 2 compartments, 2 x 23 U, WHD: 600x2200x1000 mm, enclosure frame and panels: RAL 7035, interior components: RAL 9005
Two independent compartments with 19\" mounting angles front and rear (482.6 mm rails), adjustable independently, enable separate configuration and secure cabling for IT and control systems, reducing cross-talk and maintenance time while supporting compliant, modular installations in industrial enclosures. This layout is ideal for applications requiring distinct access control and cabling paths, such as mixed IT/OT deployments or shared data rooms. The vented front and rear doors per compartment improve thermal management, lowering cooling costs and minimizing equipment hotspots in high-density racks, a critical factor for uptime in automation environments. Construction uses sheet steel with a durable RAL 7035 frame and panels and RAL 9005 interior finish, ensuring long‑life protection in harsh facilities. These design choices support easy upgrades and future expansion without sacrificing organization or airflow.

FAQs
Installation begins with securing the two independent compartments using the 19" mounting angles at both front and rear. Install the center gland plate and route cabling through the divided gland areas before mounting IT and control devices. A vertically mounted rear PDU (IEC C20) can be fitted up to 1000 mm, with access maintained via the vented doors for each compartment. Ensure proper earthing and use the pull-out base for service access, then verify door opening angles and cable bend radii align with your installation standards.
Each of the two compartments includes 482.6 mm (19") mounting rails front and rear, with two 23 U levels per compartment. The rails are independently adjustable, allowing different equipment heights to be accommodated within the same enclosure. This arrangement supports mixed equipment inventories, simplifies upgrades, and maintains consistent hardware alignment for reliable hot-swapping and serviceability in production or data floor environments.
Yes. The VX IT Compartment Rack is specifically designed for two physically independent installation compartments, enabling separate access control and independent cabling. This setup reduces cross‑access risk and simplifies maintenance when IT and control gear share a single enclosure. With vented doors on both sides per compartment and central gland plates, it supports clean separation of power and data paths while providing scalable, modular growth for evolving automation architectures.
The enclosure aligns with CE conformity and follows industry classifications such as ETIM EC002499 and ECLASS 8.0 27180207 for procurement and interoperability. While exact IP or SIL ratings aren’t specified in this data sheet, the robust sheet‑steel construction, vented doors, and defined mounting standards reflect common European enclosure practices designed to support compliant installations in industrial automation and IT environments.
The independent compartments simplify cabling management, reducing troubleshooting time and improving uptime. Independent cabling paths, pull-out base design for service access, and central PDU installation options streamline routine maintenance and upgrades, lowering total cost of ownership. The dual‑compartment layout also supports future capacity growth without needing a new enclosure, delivering a favorable return on investment through extended hardware life and easier scalability.
