This panel is IP54-rated, made from zinc‑plated 1.5 mm sheet steel, and fits VX enclosures with a height of 1800 mm and depth of 400 mm, aligning with ETIM EC002525 and ECLASS 27182102 classifications. The combination of durable corrosion protection and included assembly parts accelerates panel builds, reduces downtime, and supports predictable service life—delivering measurable value across industrial automation projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
8609200 Rittal: VX Divider panel, for HD: 1800x400 mm
Article number
VX 8609.200
Product description
For shielding individual enclosure cells. Thanks to the symmetry of the frame system, the divider panel can also be used at the rear. All-round, double fold for stability and to hold the seal.
Benefits
The divider panel may also be fitted at the rear. This allows, e.g. frequency converters for heat dissipation to be installed in a divider panel with the cooling units facing outwards and protected/finished off with a cover.

Product description
VX Divider panel, for HD: 1800x400 mm
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Shielding and rear-mount capability improve isolation between enclosure cells, which reduces cross-talk and EMI concerns while enabling heat-dissipation strategies with cooling units facing outward. This translates to more reliable performance for drive systems and frequency converters in VX systems, especially in compact layouts. Application: shielded VX HD enclosures, with improved heat management and protected seals. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Material and finish—sheet steel at 1.5 mm with zinc-plated surface yield high durability in dusty, humid industrial environments, lowering corrosion-related maintenance costs. Application: long-term enclosure protection in manufacturing environments.Feature → Business Impact → Application: Exact fit for VX outer mounting level and compatibility with internal or external baying brackets; installation is streamlined, reducing installation time and field adjustments. Application: quick deployments on VX controllers and distributed drives with standard mounting hardware.Feature → Business Impact → Application: Included assembly parts and clear mounting instructions minimize technician errors during baying and panel integration, increasing first-time right installations. Application: panel integration during enclosure baying and system upgrades.Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP54 protection ensures reliable operation against dust and water splashes at the enclosure level, supporting compliance for standard industrial enclosures. Application: environments with splashing liquids or dusty production floors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The option to bay with internal 8617500 or external 8617502 brackets supports scalable modular layouts, enabling future expansions without replacing shield panels. Application: retrofit projects and scalable VX installations.

FAQs
Yes. VX 8609.200 is designed for VX enclosure types with a height of 1800 mm and depth of 400 mm, and it supports mounting on the outer mounting level. For baying, use internal bracket 8617500 or external bracket 8617502, enabling fast, secure assemblies without modifying existing enclosure frames.
Key specs include HD compatibility 1800x400 mm, material 1.5 mm sheet steel, zinc-plated surface, IP54 protection, and a weight of 8 kg per pack. The product is sold as a single piece with assembly parts included and is identified by VX 8609.200 (EAN 4028177817746).
The panel supports rear mounting and is compatible with divider configurations that place cooling units facing outward, aiding heat dissipation and protective finishing with covers where applicable, especially in compact VX enclosures where space is at a premium.
The divider panel is IP54-rated per IEC 60529, with ETIM 9 EC002525 and ECLASS 8.0 classification (27182102). The zinc-plated steel construction meets typical industrial enclosure requirements and integrates smoothly with VX system components and procurement classifications.
The zinc-plated steel and 1.5 mm construction offer durable protection against corrosion, reducing replacement frequency. Quick installation, predefined assembly parts, and compatibility with standard VX mounting levels shorten project lead times and minimize labor, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the panel’s service life.
