Product Information
Extended Description
8609204 Rittal: VX Divider panel, for HD: 2000x500 mm
Article number
VX 8609.204
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.

FAQs
Install the divider panel on the outer mounting level of the VX enclosure. The kit includes assembly parts and requires baying brackets 8617500 (internal) or 8617502 (external) for proper baying. Follow the installation instruction to align with the enclosure’s 2000 mm height and 500 mm depth—ensuring a secure, sealed fit.
Yes. The divider panel can be positioned to face cooling units outward when baying is used, enabling effective heat dissipation while maintaining panel protection. This design supports configurations where frequency converters or heat-generating components are mounted behind the panel with the cooling system positioned for optimum airflow.
Key specs include a 2000 x 500 mm size, 1.5 mm sheet steel construction, zinc-plated surface, IP54 protection, and a weight of 11 kg per pack. Each pack contains 1 piece, designed to fit VX enclosure types with height 2000 mm and depth 500 mm.
Industries with automated machinery, packaging lines, and process automation benefit from the VX 8609.204. It provides robust shielding for individual cells, supports rear mounting for heat management, and simplifies baying in standardized VX cabinet systems, improving reliability and serviceability.
The panel offers IP54 protection and is CE-compliant, supporting European machinery directives. It also aligns with ETIM 9 (EC002525) and ECLASS 8.0 (27182102) classifications to ease procurement data and system integration.
