Product description
VX IT, 19" mounting angles, dynamic, front and rear, vented, WHD: 800 x 2200 x 1000 mm, 47 U
47 U, 800x2200x1000 mm footprint delivers maximum rack density in a single enclosure, enabling efficient space planning and reducing cabinet sprawl in IT rooms. This space advantage translates to lower facility footprint, easier cabling, and improved airflow management for critical equipment. The front and rear vented doors with approximately 85% perforation optimize cooling performance, helping to prevent hot spots and extend component life in demanding environments. Dynamic 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles provide installation flexibility, allowing depth-adjustable configurations and simpler upgrades without removing the cabinet from the floor. A robust load rating of 18,000 N supports heavy servers and network gear while maintaining structural integrity; static rating up to 15,000 N per UL 2416 ensures可靠 performance under peak loads. Roof plate is prepared for a fan mounting plate and spacers (50 mm) are supplied to raise a cover plate for passive cooling, improving energy efficiency by enhancing natural convection. The enclosure uses a durable material mix (sheet steel with aluminium components) and finishes designed for operational longevity and corrosion resistance, while the included rails, screws, and spacers streamline installation and future maintenance. Overall, the VX IT enclosure delivers a modular, service-friendly solution that reduces downtime, simplifies upgrades, and aligns with enterprise IT and industrial automation environments.

FAQs
VX 5314.816 includes 12 x 482.6 mm (19") fasteners and mounting angles designed for 19" equipment. The unit provides 87 mm of free mounting space at the front and rear and features 700 mm between levels, ensuring compatible spacing for standard 19" racks and accessories.
The enclosure supports up to 18,000 N load capacity, with a static rating up to 15,000 N per UL 2416, ensuring structural integrity for dense server deployments. Front/rear venting and a roof plate prepared for a fan mounting plate enable proactive cooling, while spacers permit passive cooling enhancements.
Yes. At 800 mm wide, 2,200 mm high, and 1,000 mm deep (47 U), with vented doors and 19" mounting angles front and rear, it is well-suited for data centers and industrial IT rooms requiring robust airflow management, secure access, and scalable expansion.
The product data references UL 2416 for load performance, and includes ETIM 9 (EC002499) and ECLASS 8.0 (27180207) classifications for procurement data. Specific CE or IP certifications are not listed in the provided data, so verify with the supplier for your regional compliance requirements.
Durable materials (sheet steel with aluminium components), front/rear access, and a design prepared for future cooling upgrades (fan mounting, spacers) minimize downtime during maintenance and upgrades. The 47 U capacity and standardized mounting reduce cabinet sprawl, while UL 2416-rated strength assures long-term reliability in demanding environments, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
