Product description
VX IT, 19" mounting angles, standard, front, glazed door, WHD: 600 x 2000 x 600 mm, 42 U
Feature: 42 U interior, 600 mm width, 2000 mm height, 600 mm depth with 19" mounting angles at the front. Benefit: Maximizes available equipment density in a single cabinet while simplifying rack mounting of servers, switches, and storage in a compact footprint. Application: Data centers, industrial network rooms, and machine warehouses seeking efficient space utilization. Feature: Front glazed aluminium door and solid rear steel door with 180° hinges. Benefit: Clear visibility for active components while maintaining secure, durable access from either side. Application: Maintenance-friendly IT cabinets in high-traffic environments where quick service is essential. Feature: Roof plate with horizontal rear cable entry and prepared for a fan mounting plate. Benefit: Optimizes airflow and cable routing; enables passive cooling or fan-assisted cooling as needed. Application: Environments with variable cooling loads or increasing heat density from dense IT gear. Feature: 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles and compatible spacers. Benefit: Provides precise, vibration-minimized rack mounting and efficient air distribution; simple, tool-assisted installation. Application: Standard 19-inch IT equipment deployments requiring reliable top/bottom support. Feature: Material, finish, and colour specifications (sheet steel, aluminum, dip/ powder coat, and RAL 7035). Benefit: Long-term durability in harsh environments with consistent aesthetics and corrosion resistance. Application: Industrial facilities with exposure to dust, temp fluctuations, and handling. Feature: Load capacity up to 7,500 N and UL 2416 compliance guidance. Benefit: Safe support for heavy equipment and predictable structural performance under static loads. Application: High-density IT racks housing multi-server blades, large storage units, and network gear.

FAQs
The VX IT enclosure uses 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles with front mounting rails designed for standard 19" equipment. It supports a front installation configuration with 42U of usable space and includes screws and spacers to speed mounting. This simplifies adding servers, switches, or storage while ensuring stable, vibration-free operation.
This enclosure provides 42U of internal space within 600x2000x600 mm dimensions. It offers a maximum load capacity of 7,500 N (static 6,000 N per UL 2416) to accommodate dense rack configurations. The closed frame design and rear/roof components support reliable weight distribution for multi-processor servers and telecom equipment.
Yes. The VX IT enclosure is purpose-built for direct climate control in data centers and industrial environments. It features a glazed front door for visibility, robust door mechanics, 19" mounting rails, and a roof/cable-entry design optimized for cable routing and airflow—ideal for deployments combining IT and control equipment.
Key certifications and standards include IK08 impact resistance and a UL 2416 load reference for safe structural performance. The unit uses standard ETIM 9 and ECLASS 8.0 classifications, with materials and finishes specified to deliver durable protection. Always verify CE conformity with the supplier if your project requires formal CE marking.
Included hardware (mounting angles, spacers, screws) and ready-to-use roof plate with cable entry streamline installation. Front and rear door access, 180° hinges, and modular components reduce maintenance time and service downtime. The option for passive cooling with a fan mounting plate further lowers energy consumption and ongoing operating costs.
