Quick Summary
The VX 8618.541 side panel is a ready-to-install finish for top-mounting modules in VX enclosures. Without a dedicated side panel, enclosure edges can collect moisture and dust, risking performance and uptime during service. This panel carries UL 50E Type 1 rating and aligns with ETIM EC002524 and ECLASS 27182101 classifications, while the sheet steel core (1.5 mm) and textured RAL 7035 coating resist abrasion and corrosion. By matching VX enclosure specs and including assembly parts, it supports quick, compliant installations and a consistent aesthetic across your equipment fleet.
