Rittal VX 5333.816 IT Enclosure - Dynamic Ventilated 52U
Part Number: 5333816
Quick Summary
The Rittal VX 5333.816 IT enclosure protects network equipment in data centers and IT rooms. Tight spaces, heat buildup, and complex cable routing often slow deployment and threaten uptime. Critical certifications to verify for equipment cabinets generally include CE conformity and appropriate IP ratings; consult the VX 5333.816 datasheet for confirmed values. With dynamic 482.6 mm (19") mounting rails and 52U capacity, it supports scalable IT infrastructure and helps tighten space planning and cooling efficiency in data center applications. Secondary considerations include 19" mounting compatibility, modular fan-ready roof, and practical access for service and expansion in challenging environments.

Product description
VX IT network/server enclosure dynamic, WHD: 800 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
Large 52U IT enclosure provides ample rack space, enabling consolidated equipment and streamlined cable management, which reduces deployment time and downtime risk in data center environments. The dynamic 482.6 mm (19") mounting rails offer front and rear positioning, increasing installation flexibility for mixed equipment such as servers, switches, and storage arrays while lowering total installation costs. Front and rear vented doors promote improved airflow and passive cooling, supporting higher thermal efficiency and energy savings across dense IT cabinets. A robust load capacity of up to 18,000 N (with UL 2416 static rating at 15,000 N) ensures long-term stability for high-density gear and future upgrades, minimizing rework and ensuring compliance with heavy-duty data center standards. Supplied components—mounting angles, spacers for roof fan mounting, and multiple fasteners—simplify on-site assembly and reduce vendor coordination efforts. The enclosure design also supports fan installation plates and side cable entries, which accelerates thermal management optimization during expansion projects and new deployments in data centers and network rooms.

FAQs
Begin by aligning 482.6 mm (19") mounting rails front and rear to the enclosure frame. Use the supplied 12 x 482.6 mm fasteners and 25 multi-tooth screws to secure rails, then mount the enclosure onto the rack structure. Install spacers as needed for the roof fan plate and verify 150 mm front and 325 mm rear free mounting space for eventual cable management and airflow. The 180° hinges on both doors simplify installation in tight rooms and allow quick service access.
The enclosure is 800 mm wide, 2,450 mm high, and 1,200 mm deep, providing 52 U of mounting space. It uses 482.6 mm (19") mounting levels front and rear and is designed for dynamic rail positioning. The 52U capacity supports dense IT gear, while the maximum load capacity of 18,000 N ensures structural integrity for heavy configurations.
Yes. The front aluminium/sheet steel door and rear sheet steel door are vented (front door ≈85% perforated; rear door vented), with a roof plate prepared for fan mounting. The design supports side cable entry and a roof-mounted fan, enabling efficient passive and active cooling. This makes it ideal for servers, switches, and storage with heat dissipation requirements.
