Rittal 5315175 VX IT Compartment Rack - Dual-compartment
Part Number: 5315175
Quick Summary
The Rittal VX IT Compartment Rack provides dual, independent compartments for secure IT and control equipment in factory automation environments. Managing mixed IT and automation gear in a single enclosure often leads to shared cabling and access bottlenecks; with two independently configurable compartments, it reduces cross-talk and risk. This enclosure aligns with ETIM EC002499 and ECLASS 27180207 standards, supporting reliable procurement and interoperability across your supply chain. By offering pre-configured 19\" mounting angles and centralized gland plates, it speeds installation while delivering scalable IT and control expansion for growing facilities.

Feature: Dual independent compartments with front and rear 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles. Business impact: Enables physically separate IT and control domains, reducing risk from shared cabling and improving security. Application: Data/industrial networks on the factory floor where isolated zones are required. Feature: Vented front and rear doors for each compartment. Business impact: Improves thermal management and airflow, reducing cooling costs and failure risk. Application: High-density equipment hosting in mixed IT/OT environments. Feature: Center-divided gland plate and integrated air baffles. Business impact: Streamlines cable routing and EMI control, enabling faster maintenance and cleaner installations. Application: Centralized power distribution and cabling along the rack depth. Feature: Robust sheet steel construction with defined finishes (RAL 7035 frame/panels; RAL 9005 for interior components). Business impact: Durable, industrial-grade enclosure that withstands harsh environments, reducing replacement cycles. Application: Industrial automation and IT deployments in manufacturing settings. Feature: Two front doors and two rear doors with a 130° opening angle. Business impact: Simplifies access for service and upgrades, minimizing downtime. Application: Routine maintenance and component replacement in constrained spaces. Feature: Vertically installed PDU option in the rear area (IEC C20, up to 1000 mm). Business impact: Flexible power distribution integration without compromising enclosure integrity. Application: Power management for multi-rack configurations. Feature: Roof design with dual cable entry in the center and a solid base with integrated gland plates. Business impact: Improves cable ingress management and simplifies siting. Application: New builds and retrofits in controlled environments. Feature: 2 x 23 U per compartment with 740 mm level spacing. Business impact: Clear provisioning for mixed equipment heights, improving airflow and accessibility. Application: Configurations that separate network gear from industrial controllers.

FAQs
The VX IT Compartment Rack is designed around standard 19" mounting angles (482.6 mm) located at the front and rear of each of the two independent compartments. This enables seamless integration of existing 19" equipment, minimizes retrofitting, and supports clean, industry-standard rack layouts for IT and control hardware.
Key specs include two independent 23U compartments with 19" mounting angles, 600 mm width, 2,200 mm height, and 1,200 mm depth, plus vented front and rear doors. A center gland plate and integrated air baffles optimize cable routing and airflow, reducing thermal bottlenecks and EMI concerns in busy industrial environments.
Yes. The design provides dual compartments that isolate IT from control hardware while sharing a common enclosure. This separation supports consolidated management, improved security, and streamlined maintenance for mixed IT/OT deployments on the factory floor.
The VX 5315.175 aligns with recognized industry classifications such as ETIM EC002499 (relevant for data and enclosure components) and ECLASS 8.0 27180207, ensuring compatibility in procurement systems and interoperability across suppliers and customers.
Modularity and dual independent compartments reduce downtime during maintenance by localizing work to a single compartment. Pre-configured mounting, gland plates, and accessible PDU integration simplify installation, which lowers labor costs and accelerates project timelines, delivering faster ROI in expansion or upgrade projects.
