Rittal VX 5316.185 VX IT Compartment Rack - 4 Compartments
Part Number: 5316185
Quick Summary
The VX IT Compartment Rack from Rittal accommodates IT and instrumentation in a single, secure enclosure. Designers and technicians often wrestle with cross-cabinet cabling and inconsistent access control across multiple enclosures. In this class of enclosures, CE marking is essential for electrical safety, and industry classifications such as ETIM EC002499 and ECLASS 27180207 help streamline procurement and compliance. The VX 5316.185 delivers four independent compartments with shared, adaptable mounting, improving scalability and reducing installation time. For IT/OT deployments, the combination of vented doors, standardized 19" mounting angles, and configurable cable routing translates into measurable efficiency gains and lower risk.

FAQs
Install requires positioning the four independent compartments with their front and rear 19" mounting angles, attaching the central gland plate, and securing each compartment with the included ignition of earthing straps. Route cables through the roof entry and gland plates, then mount devices in the 11U levels per compartment. The process is designed for rapid deployment with pre-configured components and standardized hardware.
It provides four independently configurable compartments, each with 11U mounting space, vented doors for airflow, and centralized gland plates to simplify cabling. The design supports secure access control and modular growth, reducing risk of cross-talk and downtime in mixed IT and automation applications.
The rack uses a one-piece roof plate with central cable entry, divided gland plates, and integrated air baffles on the front mounting angles. This configuration improves airflow, minimizes cabling congestion, and allows different user groups to route cables independently while maintaining system integrity.
The model aligns with industry classifications such as ETIM EC002499 and ECLASS 27180207, and follows standard enclosure practices that support CE considerations for electrical safety and integration within regulated environments. Its modular design further aids in compliant documentation and procurement processes.
Benefits come from reduced deployment time due to pre-configured mounting angles and gland plates, easier maintenance with pull-out base frames, and improved uptime from independent compartments that prevent cascading outages. The 4x11U per compartment layout also enables higher density within a single enclosure, lowering footprint and total cost of ownership.
