Product description
VX IT, 19" mounting angles, standard, front, glazed door, WHD: 600 x 1200 x 600 mm, 24 U
Feature → Business Impact → Application: 24 U of mounting space in a 600x1200x600 mm footprint enables dense IT hardware deployment, reducing rack footprint and simplifying cable management for data-critical lines on the plant floor. This translates to lower ceiling height constraints and faster rack densification in automation projects. Feature → 19-inch mounting angles front placement → Installation efficiency and scalable upgrade paths: standard 482.6 mm (19-inch) mounting angles allow seamless integration of standard IT equipment and future expansion without rework, ideal for machine builders and data centers supporting edge computing in production lines. Feature → Front glazed aluminium door → Visual access and security: glazed front door provides easy status checks while maintaining protection, reducing downtime for routine inspections and minimizing operator disruption. Feature → Robust materials and IK08 rating → Reliability and longevity: sheet steel with aluminium components and reinforced finishes resist industrial wear, improving mean time between failures (MTBF) and lowering replacement costs. Feature → Passive cooling readiness and roof plate with fan mounting prep → Thermal performance and energy efficiency: spacers and mounting provisions support passive cooling and future fan upgrades, helping meet climate-control targets and reduce energy use. Feature → Comprehensive packaging and accessories → Fast, correct installation: included mounting angles, spacers, screws, and IPPC pallet streamline site readiness, minimize waste, and support consistent field assembly across multiple units.

FAQs
The VX 5326.121 uses standard 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles, front-mounted, to align with common 19" equipment racks. With 24 U of space, it supports dense IT hardware while preserving accessible cable routing and cooling paths. When retrofitting, verify ceiling height and ensure rear cable entry space, roof plate clearance, and fan mounting clearance are available for optimal airflow.
The enclosure provides a load capacity of up to 7,500 N, with a maximum static load of 6,000 N per enclosure per UL 2416 guidelines. This ensures safe support for heavy IT hardware and power distribution units inside the cabinet, maintaining structural integrity under operational loads and preventing sag or misalignment over time.
Yes. VX IT enclosures are designed for direct climate control with features such as a glazed front door, appropriate sealing, and compatibility with passive cooling spacers and a roof plate prepared for a fan mounting plate. This supports reliable thermal management for sensitive IT gear in manufacturing floors, reducing overheating risks and improving uptime.
The enclosure carries IK08 impact resistance, indicating robust mechanical protection. It is classified in ETIM as EC002499 and in ECLASS 8.0 as 27180207, aiding procurement systems and interoperability with downstream components. These identifiers support consistent specification, stocking, and integration across industrial supply chains.
Benefits include improved uptime due to reliable climate control and front-access maintenance, reduced footprint from high-density 24U deployment, and easier future upgrades thanks to standard 19" mounting. Sustainability metrics such as cradle-to-gate PCF (127.6 kg CO2 eq for the pack) help inform environmental and cost considerations, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the cabinet’s lifecycle.
