Rittal VX 5327.121 IT Enclosure - IK08, 38U, Front Glazed
Part Number: 5327121
Quick Summary
Rittal VX 5327.121 IT enclosure provides secure, climate-controlled IT housing for 19-inch equipment in harsh industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with space for cooling, cable routing, and front-access maintenance in dusty factories, especially when integrating active cooling or fan modules. Key standards include IK08 mechanical robustness and UL 2416 load certification, underpinning long service life and predictable performance under vibration and shock. Designed for easy installation, this enclosure combines front glazed aluminium doors with standard 19-inch mounting angles, enabling rapid deployment, simpler cable management, and scalable IT infrastructure.

FAQs
The VX 5327.121 IT enclosure uses 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles and front mounting level, designed to accommodate standard 19" hardware with front access. It ships with dedicated mounting brackets, spacers for elevation above roof cut-outs, and conductive fasteners to ensure reliable grounding and alignment during installation in industrial environments.
Key specifications include IK08 mechanical robustness for impact resistance, a high static load capacity (up to 6,000 to 7,500 N depending on configuration), and UL 2416 compliance for safe, durable enclosures. The glazed front door and durable surface finishes further protect sensitive IT equipment from dust and incidental contact.
Yes. The roof plate is prepared for a fan mounting plate and includes horizontal rear cable entry, with spacers to elevate a cover plate for passive cooling. This enables a scalable cooling strategy that can start with passive cooling and expand to active cooling as processing loads increase.
The enclosure carries IK08 mechanical robustness, UL 2416 load rating, and complies with the product descriptions and classifications listed (ETIM EC002499, ECLASS 27180207). These standards support reliable performance under vibration, shock, and heavy equipment loads in industrial settings.
Investing in VX 5327.121 yields longer equipment life, reduced downtime due to improved accessibility and airflow, and a scalable 19" IT cabinet for growing automation needs. The reinforced structure and robust finishes lower maintenance costs while enabling faster deployment and upgrade cycles in manufacturing and process environments.
