Rittal VX 8609.206 Divider Panel for VX Enclosures - IP54
Part Number: 8609206
Quick Summary
Rittal VX 8609.206 divider panel shields individual enclosure cells within VX frame systems, enabling clean separation and improved airflow. In compact cabinets, tangled cabling and heat hotspots frequently slow maintenance and undermine reliability. This accessory features IP 54 protection and a zinc-plated 1.5 mm sheet steel construction, with assembly parts included to simplify field installation. Designed for the HD footprint of 2000x800 mm, it supports rear mounting when paired with the right baying brackets, delivering modular cooling options. By streamlining enclosure architecture, it reduces downtime, lowers service costs, and supports scalable automation projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
8609206 Rittal: VX Divider panel, for HD: 2000x800 mm
Article number
VX 8609.206
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: 2000x800 mm
The divider panel provides precise shielding between enclosure cells, promoting independent heat and cable management. This reduces cross-talk and helps direct airflow where it is needed most, which is critical in mixed load cabinets. Application: Fits VX enclosures with the 2000x800 mm footprint and supports rear installation when paired with appropriate baying brackets. Material and finish: 1.5 mm sheet steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, delivering a robust, maintenance-friendly solution. Business impact: Longer service life and lower replacement costs in damp or dusty environments. Application: Compatible with standard VX accessories and assembly parts included. Installation flexibility: Mount on the outer mounting level, with internal or external baying brackets 8617500 or 8617502, enabling fast retrofits. Impact: Accelerates project timelines and reduces on-site engineering. Application: Works with HD: 2000x800 mm. Protection and compliance: IP 54 rating protects against dust and splashing water, safeguarding drives, controllers, and wiring. Impact: Improves reliability and reduces maintenance interventions. Application: Fits VX configurations requiring sealed separation. Value proposition: Assembly parts included, with a 19 kg weight per pack enabling stable distribution and simpler handling during installation. Impact: Lower total cost of ownership through simplified logistics and fewer consumables. Application: Can be deployed as a modular enclosure accessory across VX configurations.

FAQs
To install the VX 8609.206 divider panel, mount it on the outer mounting level of the VX enclosure and align with the enclosure’s internal baying options. For baying in, use internal baying bracket 8617500 or external baying bracket 8617502 as required. Ensure the panel is positioned to shield the targeted cells, then secure with the supplied assembly parts. The process supports rear mounting for optimized cooling with cooling units facing outward.
Key specifications include a 1.5 mm sheet steel construction with a zinc-plated finish, an IP rating of IP 54, and a footprint designed for VX enclosures at 2000x800 mm. The product is sold in packs of one and weighs 19 kg per pack. The article number is VX 8609.206, and it is compatible with the VX enclosure family along with standard assembly parts.
Yes. The divider panel can be used with rear-facing cooling configurations to separate heat-generating components from other circuits, improving airflow and heat dissipation. When needed, pair the panel with appropriate baying brackets to enable rear mounting and ensure the cooling units face outward, helping maintain optimal operating temperatures for frequency converters and drives.
The divider panel carries an IP 54 rating under IEC 60529, providing dust and splash protection for industrial environments. It uses zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance and aligns with VX enclosure standards. The product also integrates with ETIM 9 and ECLASS 8.0 classifications for system cataloging, and its EAN is 4028177817807 for streamlined procurement.
Using the VX 8609.206 divider panel improves reliability by reducing ingress risk and enabling modular, scalable enclosure layouts. It streamlines installation with included assembly parts, supports efficient heat management, and reduces maintenance and downtime. These benefits translate to lower total cost of ownership and faster project delivery in automation and electrical cabinet applications.
