Product description
VX IT network/server enclosure dynamic, WHD: 600 x 2450 x 1200 mm, 52 U, aluminium / sheet steel door, ventilated at the front, sheet steel door ventilated at the rear, vertically divided, 180° hinges front and rear
Dynamic 482.6 mm (19 inch) mounting angles in the VX IT enclosure deliver flexible, depth-safe mounting for 19” equipment. This design minimizes misalignment and vibration, extending component life and reducing maintenance intervals. It’s particularly beneficial in data centers and server rooms where upgrades happen regularly. Ventilated front and rear doors (approximately 85% perforated) enable improved airflow with passive cooling. The result is lower inlet temperatures, fewer hotspots, and reduced fan power, which translates to energy savings and longer hardware life. Suitable for dense compute clusters and storage arrays in IT rooms with variable heat loads. The 52 U inner height with width 600 mm and depth 1200 mm provides substantial mounting space and easy scalability. Free mounting space to 482.6 mm level front and rear (150 mm / 325 mm) allows cable management and accessory installation without sacrificing access. The 725 mm distance between levels supports diverse server heights. Material combination of sheet steel and aluminium with powder-coated frame and anodised front doors delivers durability in challenging environments. It supports heavy loads up to 18,000 N and up to 15,000 N static per UL 2416, ensuring the enclosure maintains alignment with heavier equipment. Comprehensive supply includes: enclosure frame with doors and roof plate, vented front/rear doors, hinges, lock handles, mounting angles, spacers, fasteners, and, cables. This reduces on-site procurement time, accelerates deployment, and lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) by simplifying installation and future migrations. Compliance and compatibility considerations: the unit is specified with ETIM 9 EC002499 and ECLASS 8.0 27180207 classifications; its 19” mounting and 482.6 mm level alignment integrate with standard rack systems and accessories.

FAQs
VX 5332.818 uses dynamic 482.6 mm (19 inch) mounting angles designed for standard 19" equipment. With 52U of space and front/rear mounting support, it integrates seamlessly with common rack rails, spacers, and cable management accessories, enabling straightforward upgrades and flexible terminations in data centers and server rooms.
The enclosure is rated for up to 18,000 N load capacity, with a static per-enclosure limit of 15,000 N per UL 2416. This provides ample margin for dense server stacks, storage arrays, and power distribution hardware while preserving cabinet alignment and door integrity.
Yes. The front door is aluminium/sheet steel and vented (about 85% perforated), with a rear vented door as well, supporting effective airflow. Paired with 482.6 mm mounting and interior spacing, it facilitates passive cooling and reduces hot spots, contributing to lower fan speeds and energy usage in variable workload scenarios.
The enclosure supports industry-standard classifications such as ETIM 9 EC002499 and ECLASS 8.0 27180207. It also provides UL 2416-compliant static load capabilities for safe heavy equipment deployment. While specific CE IP ratings aren’t listed in this dataset, the product’s construction and certifications align with common European and North American IT cabinet requirements.
The package includes 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles, spacers (height 50 mm), 12 x 482.6 mm fasteners, 25 multi-tooth screws, and other hardware. These components support immediate commissioning, reduce on-site hunting for compatible parts, and shorten deployment time while ensuring the enclosure remains robust under heavy loads.
