FAQs
Install using the 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles, front and rear. Attach the rails to the enclosure frame, align with the rack’s mounting points, and secure with the provided screws (12 x 482.6 mm fasteners). Use the 50 mm spacers when a roof fan mounting plate is needed for passive cooling. Ensure balanced weight distribution and verify clearance for 47 U of equipment.
The enclosure supports 47 U of equipment with dimensions 800 mm wide, 2,200 mm high, and 1,200 mm deep. It is vented front and rear, enabling convection cooling, with a load capacity of up to 15,000 N and a maximum static load of 12,000 N. It ships with necessary mounting hardware and is designed for front/rear access and passive cooling configurations.
Yes. Its 19" mounting rails and vented doors suit both data center IT cabinets and industrial control rooms. The 47 U height supports dense equipment layouts, while front/rear access simplifies servicing. The roof plate preparation and spacers enable passive cooling upgrades, reducing energy use. The robust frame and lockable doors help protect sensitive equipment in demanding environments.
The provided data lists ETIM 8 EC002499, ETIM 7.0 EC011217, and ECLASS 8.0 27180207, along with the product EAN 4028177945388. Explicit CE, IP, or UL certifications are not shown in the dataset; verify with Rittal or the supplier for current compliance markings. Use these standards as a baseline for interoperability and maintenance in regulated environments.
The enclosure combines durable sheet steel with aluminium front, modular 19" mounting, and front/rear access, enabling extended service life and simplified upgrades. Passive cooling options reduce fan energy, while standardized 47 U capacity supports future growth without casing changes. When paired with existing IT gear, it lowers deployment time, maintenance costs, and overall risk for data centers and automation facilities.
