Rittal VX 5381.830 Cable management enclosure - WHD 300 x 2000 x 1200 mm

The VX IT cable management enclosure delivers a defined 300 mm width by 2000 mm height and 1200 mm depth, with a front and rear door configuration and 180° hinges. This feature provides orderly cable pathways and rapid access for maintenance, reducing labor time during re-terminations. It is ideally used as a cable management rack between fully configured network and server racks in data centers and industrial IT cabinets. The enclosure uses an aluminium basic material with the option of sheet steel, offering a lighter yet durable frame that supports long-term reliability and easier installation in busy data centers. The surface finish includes dipcoat-primed frames and powder-coated doors and roofs, delivering corrosion resistance and a professional appearance suitable for harsh environments. These finishes extend the equipment’s life, minimize touch-up costs, and maintain cleanroom-like aesthetics in IT rooms. Supplied with front and rear doors, 180° hinges, a comfort lock system, roof and base plates, and three VX punched sections with mounting flanges, this package enables rapid, repeatable assembly with standardized hardware, reducing project risk and enabling faster rack-to-rack integrations. The design supports structured cable routing with dedicated sections and mounting options, allowing scalable layouts as cabling needs grow and new servers are added. Weight per pack is 84.4 kg, and the enclosure’s environmental footprint is quantified at 207.9 kg CO2 eq (Cat B), supporting sustainability targets and lifecycle planning. Note the specification states that a side panel is required for positioning at the start or end of an enclosure suite, which can simplify phased deployments and modular expansions. This enclosure is compatible with network and server racks, and the overall system approach helps data centers streamline maintenance, improve airflow, and reduce cable management complexity in demanding IT environments.
