Product description
VX IT Compartment Rack, vented, 4 compartments, 19" mounting angles front and rear, 4 x 11 U, WHD: 600x2200x1000 mm, enclosure frame and panel parts: RAL 7035, interior components: RAL 9005
Feature → Business Impact → Application: VX IT Compartment Rack offers four independent installation compartments, each with 482.6 mm (19") mounting rails front and rear. This enables separate configurations and uninterrupted operation for IT and automation devices, reducing cross-talk and downtime. The business impact is improved maintainability and streamlined change management in multi-user environments, such as data centers and machine halls where shared enclosures are common. Application: ideal for centralized, shared enclosures that require distinct access control and independent cabling per compartment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Vented front and rear doors and a one-piece roof plate with dual cable entry enable efficient airflow and easy cable routing. This improves thermal management, reduces cooling costs, and simplifies upgrades in dense rack layouts. Application: suitable for high-density IT and control cabinets in manufacturing floors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 19" mounting angles pre-configured at front and rear for each compartment simplify installation and ensure repeatable mounting tolerances. This lowers commissioning time and accelerates rollout in multi-zone projects. Application: compatible with standard 19" equipment, compatible with phased deployments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gland plate divided centrally and pull-out base frame with pre-assembled gland plate provide organized, compliant cable management and easy service access. Application: supports clean installation of power, network, and IO cables while maintaining segregation between compartments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Prepared earthing strap attachment and multiple locking keys enhance security and electrical safety, reducing risk during maintenance. Application: advantageous in regulated environments where access control and grounding integrity are required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Note on door opening angle and independent compartments informs installers about application flexibility and potential installation constraints. Application: helps plan layouts in restricted spaces and aligns with site-specific access requirements. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Material and finish (sheet steel construction, RAL 7035 exterior, RAL 9005 interior) provide durable protection in harsh environments, with aesthetic consistency. Application: suitable for industrial enclosures exposed to dust, impacts, or temperature variations.

The rack features four vented doors, a one-piece roof with central cable entry, and a central gland plate. These specs enable predictable space planning and straightforward top- or bottom-entry cable routing.
Yes. The design supports independent compartments with dedicated cabling and access control, allowing IT gear and industrial controllers to co-exist in a single enclosure without compromising security or airflow. The vented doors and robust sheet-steel construction are well-suited for industrial settings.
The product is classified under ETIM 9 (EC002499) and ECLASS 8.0 (27180207). While not a direct certification, these classifications help ensure correct categorization for procurement systems and enable consistent specification across projects.
Independent compartments simplify cable management, reduce cross-group interference, and speed component swaps without disturbing other zones. The modular structure lowers downtime during upgrades, improves airflow management, and delivers a clear TCO benefit by enabling phased deployments and easier scaling.
