Rittal VX 5313.813 IT Enclosure - 47U Ventilated
Part Number: 5313813
Quick Summary
The VX IT enclosure provides rugged 19" IT rack housing for data centers and network rooms. Engineers often struggle with heat buildup, space constraints, and cable management; this enclosure improves cooling airflow with vented front and rear panels and depth-variable 482.6 mm mounting angles. Key standards accompany the design, including UL 2416 static load compliance, plus ETIM EC002499 and ECLASS 27180207 classifications to simplify procurement and integration. The 47 U capacity supports dense server, switch, and patch-panel configurations, while the modular mounting and passively cooled roof options support efficient airflow and serviceability. This combination delivers faster deployment, lower maintenance costs, and scalable, future-proof IT infrastructure for growing data centers and edge deployments. Partnering with Rittal VX IT also helps ensure future-ready infrastructure with predictable spare parts and straightforward upgrades.

Product description
VX IT, 19" mounting angles, dynamic, front and rear, vented, WHD: 600 x 2200 x 1000 mm, 47 U
The VX IT enclosure uses 19" dynamic mounting angles at the front and rear, enabling quick, precise installation and reliable, repeatable rack alignment across deployments. This translates to reduced field errors and faster time-to-value when expanding IT cabinets in data centers and telecom rooms. Ventilated front and rear doors provide approximately 85% perforation, which improves cooling efficiency, reduces hotspot formation, and lowers fan speeds for meaningful energy savings in high-density racks. With a capacity of 47 U in a 600×2200×1000 mm footprint, it consolidates equipment and minimizes the footprint required for growing IT ecosystems, while front and rear 482.6 mm rails support scalable configurations and clean cable management. The robust construction uses sheet steel with an aluminium front door, finished to RAL 7035, offering long service life in challenging environments and straightforward maintenance. A multi-piece roof with corner cable entries enables efficient passive cooling and tidy cable routing, minimizing airflow disruption. The enclosure supports heavy equipment thanks to an 18,000 N load rating (15,000 N static to UL 2416) and 180° door hinges for maximum access during maintenance. Spacers, height-adjustable 50 mm, and 12×482.6 mm fasteners plus 25 multi-tooth screws are included to simplify field installation and ensure reliable performance. The packaging uses an IPPC pallet, and the PCF of 219.3 kg CO2 eq (Cat B) supports responsible sourcing and lifecycle planning. This combination gives IT teams a scalable, durable solution that balances performance, cost of ownership, and sustainability in rugged environments.
