Product description
VX IT, 19" mounting angles, standard, front, vented, WHD: 600 x 2000 x 600 mm, 42 U
Feature: 42U capacity and 600 x 2000 x 600 mm footprint maximize rack density for servers, switches, and storage in a single cabinet. Business impact: minimizes floor space while maintaining accessible service clearances, supporting efficient cable routing and airflow. Application: data centers, telecom rooms, and office/server rooms with high heat density benefit from this layout. Feature: Front and rear vented doors with approx. 85% perforation enhance natural cooling and airflow management. Business impact: reduces cooling energy and improves component longevity, supporting scalable IT infrastructure. Application: environments with elevated heat load and dense equipment stacks benefit from improved passive cooling. Feature: Roof plate designed for horizontal cable entry at the rear and a removable fan mounting area, plus spacers to raise a cover plate for passive cooling. Business impact: simplifies cable management and enables targeted cooling strategies, lowering maintenance time. Application: equipment with rear cable entry and mixed fan configurations. Feature: 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles, standard, with front mounting level, plus top and bottom screw-fastened attachments. Business impact: rapid, repeatable installation and easy retrofits in existing 19" rack rows. Application: instrument panels, servers, and network gear deployment in multi-rack facilities. Feature: Robust steel/aluminium construction with powder-coated/reliably finished interior, and a front door with 180-degree hinge for ergonomic access. Business impact: durable enclosure that resists wear in busy data centers while simplifying component replacement. Application: frequent maintenance cycles and space-constrained rooms. Feature: Load capacity up to 7,500 N (static up to UL 2416) and compact overall footprint. Business impact: supports high‑density devices and future growth without cabinet reinforcement. Application: telecom rooms and data centers with dense blade servers and network appliances.

FAQs
To install, mount the VX enclosure using the 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles at the front. Align the front rail with the rack EIA standard, tighten top and bottom screws, and verify the 150 mm front / 449 mm rear free mounting space. Use the 180-degree hinge doors to access both sides during equipment installation and cabling.
Key specs include 42U total; dimensions 600 mm wide, 2000 mm high, 600 mm deep; weight per pack 59.6 kg; load capacity 7,500 N (static 6,000 N). It features vented front and rear doors, 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles, and a removable roof plate for passive cooling and cable entry at the rear.
Yes. The enclosure uses vented doors with high perforation, a removable roof plate for fan mounting and cable access, and spacers to raise a cover plate for passive cooling. This combination supports efficient airflow, organized cable routing, and flexible cooling strategies in dense IT deployments.
The enclosure is designed to meet UL 2416 load requirements for safe static loading. It aligns with ETIM 9 and ECLASS 8.0 data standards for procurement. While CE marking is common for European products, verify the specific CE documentation for your project to ensure full compliance.
The VX 5329.111 consolidates equipment into a high-density 42U cabinet with robust airflow and easy maintenance, reducing cooling energy use and downtime. Its modular 19" mounting, front/rear access, and efficient cable management lower maintenance time, simplify future upgrades, and improve overall system reliability and uptime.
