Product description
VX IT Compartment Rack, vented, 19" mounting angles front and rear, 2 compartments, 2 x 23 U, WHD: 800x2200x1200 mm, enclosure frame and panels: RAL 7035, interior components: RAL 9005
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Independent two‑compartment design enables separate cable routing and access control for IT hardware and process‑control equipment, reducing cross‑talk and downtime in automation environments. This supports faster maintenance windows and clearer security boundaries in mixed IT/OT installations; ideal for data/edge computing cabinets used in manufacturing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles front and rear per compartment, independently adjustable, simplify server, switch, and PLC mounting while preserving airflow and serviceability; engineers can configure racks for mixed equipment without reworking cabinet frames, useful in control rooms and machine bays. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ventilated front and rear doors plus a center gland plate provide superior thermal management and neat cable management, lowering cooling costs and improving fault isolation in high‑density enclosures. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Vertical rear PDU option (IEC C20, up to 1000 mm) supports streamlined power distribution for IT and automation devices, reducing cabling clutter and improving electrical safety in line control cabinets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Durable sheet steel construction with RAL 7035 frame/panels and RAL 9005 interiors offers long‑term corrosion resistance and easy integration into existing plant color schemes, aiding standardization across multiple enclosures in a plant floor or data hall. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Two independent compartments with 2x23U each and 800x2200x1200 mm WHD fits most 19" equipment, enabling future expansion without additional cabinet purchases, making it a cost‑effective solution for growing industrial installations.

Yes. Each compartment includes 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles front and rear, pre‑configured to accept standard 19" equipment. The two compartments use integrated dividers and allow independent mounting rails per side, enabling clean, organized layouts for servers, switches, and PLCs while preserving service accessibility.
The rack provides two independent 23U compartments with vented doors, ensuring solid cooling pathways and airflow. A center gland plate supports centralized cabling, while the roof entry and adjustable depth accommodate varied cable types. Vertical rear PDU option (IEC C20, up to 1000 mm) streamlines power distribution for IT and automation equipment.
Absolutely. The VX IT Compartment Rack is designed for dual‑space operation, enabling separate access control and cabling for IT gear and process/automation hardware within a single enclosure. This separation reduces cross‑talk, improves security, and streamlines maintenance—ideal for machines, PLCs, and industrial servers deployed in the same cabinet.
The data includes ETIM classifications (EC002499) and ECLASS (27180207), indicating alignment with industry data standards. While explicit CE or IP certification marks aren’t listed here, the enclosure’s robust sheet‑steel construction, vented doors, and modular design reflect typical compliance expectations for industrial enclosures used in controlled environments.
Independent compartments simplify updates and replacements, reducing downtime during service. The vented doors and standardized 19" rails improve airflow and mix IT/OT equipment without extensive rework, lowering total cost of ownership. The ready‑configured gland plate and PDU options further streamline installation, enabling faster ROI in projects with evolving equipment layouts.
