Rittal 5503010 Fan Module - 280 m³/h for VX IT IP20
Part Number: 5503010
Quick Summary
Rittal 5503010 Fan Module is a speed-controlled ventilation unit designed for active cooling inside VX IT enclosure systems. In IT cabinets, engineers often struggle to balance cooling performance with energy use and space constraints. Its IP20 protection rating and a universal 100–240 V supply help ensure reliable, worldwide installations, while operating temperatures from 5 °C to 55 °C broaden application scope. The module ships fully wired for connection and includes easy-to-install accessories, reducing commissioning time. By delivering precise airflow (280 m³/h) and low power draw (about 21.5 W), it lowers total cost of ownership and supports scalable cooling in compact industrial environments.

FAQs
Yes, the SK 5503.010 is designed for VX IT enclosures and supports installation across multiple VX IT sizes. It measures 550 mm in width, 42 mm in height, and 220 mm in depth, matching standard VX IT mounting footprints. Install options include configurations for 600 x 600 mm to 800 x 600 mm enclosures, allowing flexible integration within compact cabinet layouts.
The fan module delivers 280 m³/h of air throughput at the operating point and maintains a sound level of 46 dB(A). These specifications enable effective cooling for IT equipment while minimizing acoustic impact in office-adjacent or noise-sensitive environments. The unit operates at 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz, with speed control to match cooling demand.
The SK 5503.010 is rated for 2 fans, with the option to extend to 3 fans for higher airflow. This scalability supports varying IT heat loads across VX IT enclosures, enabling targeted cooling for dense equipment configurations. The increased fan count raises airflow capacity while maintaining manageable power consumption and noise levels for balanced performance.
The SK 5503.010 carries an IP20 protection rating, offering protection against solid intrusion while immersed in normal indoor environments. This rating is suitable for typical IT cabinet environments and helps ensure reliable operation in controlled industrial settings. The unit is designed for 100–240 V operation and complies with the enclosure and electrical standards commonly used in VX IT installations.
Installation is streamlined by a simple connection system and fully wired configuration, reducing commissioning time and wiring errors. With a modest power draw of 21.5 W and a fixed pre-fuse of 10 A, running costs are predictable. The combination of scalable airflow, IP20 protection, and compatibility with VX IT enclosures supports a favorable return on investment in cooling efficiency and TCO reduction.
