Rittal VX 8618.821 EMC Gland Plate - Shielded Contact

EMC performance for shielded cables up to 20 mm diameter is achieved through combined EMC contacting and cable fastening, delivering a low-resistance shield connection that limits EMI leakage. The business impact is tangible: fewer field issues, improved signal integrity, and lower warranty costs. In practice, this is ideal for VX enclosure installations where shielding reliability directly affects process control and data integrity. Compatibility and installation are streamlined because the kit fits VX enclosures with an 800 mm width, and the package includes one gland plate with T-head punching, one sliding gland plate, and two EMC seals, reducing on-site part counts and simplifying sourcing. The material choice—sheet steel with a zinc-plated finish—ensures corrosion resistance in factory and outdoor environments, lowering maintenance requirements over the system life. Depth support spans 400, 500, 600 and 800 mm, with a per-pack weight of 2.72 kg, enabling predictable handling and mounting. Note the IP protection category is not supported, so align with appropriate enclosure ratings; ETIM EC002620 and ECLASS 27189261 mappings aid procurement and cataloging. This solution also supports quick commissioning and repeatable shielding performance across multiple VX cabinet configurations.
