Product description
VX IT, 19" mounting angles, dynamic, front and rear, vented, WHD: 800 x 2200 x 1200 mm, 47 U
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dynamic 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles in VX IT provide flexible, front and rear rail alignment, enabling quick reconfiguration as equipment evolves in growing data centers and machine rooms. This translates to lower downtime during upgrades and improved cabinet utilization in telecom and control rooms. Feature → Application: Ventilated front and rear doors with approximately 85% perforation deliver efficient air exchange for IT gear and control electronics, reducing thermal hotspots and supporting passive cooling strategies in production lines and data centers. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 47 U of vertical space and dimensions 800 mm wide by 2,200 mm high permit dense equipment loading, accommodating substantial server, switch, and controller density for edge, rack, and IT closets. Feature → Application: 18,000 N load capacity (dynamic 18000 N; static 15000 N per UL 2416) ensures safe mounting of heavy servers and power distribution units, limiting deflection and extending component life in industrial facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Mixed frame materials (sheet steel with aluminium front doors) plus Dipcoat-primed/ powder-coated surfaces deliver durability and corrosion resistance in harsh environments, reducing maintenance cycles and total cost of ownership in manufacturing plants. Feature → Application: Supplied mounting rails, height spacers, screws, and 12 x 482.6 mm rails streamline installation, enabling rapid deployment with minimal shop-floor disruption in system integrator projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Roof plate prepared for fan mounting and additional spacers support active cooling strategies, helping plants meet cooling targets while preserving enclosure integrity during high-heat cycles in control cabinets and data rooms.

FAQs

Plan for front and rear 19" mounting rails, allow clearance for 482.6 mm levels, and use the supplied spacers to adapt to passive cooling needs. The unit ships with 12 rails and conductive fasteners to simplify alignment, while the roof plate is ready for fan mounting if active cooling is required.
Yes. The VX IT enclosure features 19" mounting angles front and rear and 47 U of space, with 80 cm width and 2.2 m height, providing ample mounting depth for switches, servers, and controllers. Front and rear doors (vented) allow orderly cabling and accessible service without sacrificing integrity.
The vented front and rear doors support efficient passively cooled configurations, and the roof is prepared for a fan mounting plate. Spacers included allow raising a cover plate for optimized airflow, making it suitable for high-heat environments in automation and data centers.
Key references include UL 2416 for static load capacity (18,000 N). Classification references include ETIM EC002499 and ECLASS 27180207 to aid procurement and maintenance workflows. Packaging uses IPPC-compliant pallets, and the product footprint aligns with industry-typical DIN 19" rack standards.
Weight per pack is 118 kg, with one pack per enclosure. Plan for appropriate lifting gear and crew size during on-site assembly. The enclosure supports heavy hardware up to UL 2416 limits, reducing the need for frequent replacements and improving installation predictability.
