Product description
VX base/plinth corner piece with trim panel, front and rear, H: 100 mm, for W: 850 mm, sheet steel
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VX 8660.004 base/plinth corner piece delivers a robust 100 mm high corner configuration that enhances overall stability of the base/plinth assembly, reducing wobble and misalignment in multi-base setups. This translates to faster, more reliable cabinet alignment during installation and ongoing maintenance, especially in high-vibration environments found in industrial facilities. It also supports cleaner interior layouts, improving cable routing efficiency and reducing risk of strain on connectors. Feature → Compatibility and installation: With front and rear trim panels made of sheet steel and plastic corner covers, the unit integrates quickly into VX, VX IT, VX SE, TX CableNet, TS, TS IT, TP, PC, IW, and CX families, accommodating 850 mm widths. This streamlines procurement and minimizes field modification. Feature → Sustainability and cost: Each pack weighs 5.55 kg with two packs per order; PCF of 21.1 kg CO2 eq per pack aligns with Cat B sustainability goals, supporting green initiatives while lowering lifecycle costs through reduced maintenance and downtime. Industry context: The supplied assembly parts and corner covers enable rapid retrofits without dedicated hardware kits, a common need in expanding facilities or reconfiguring layouts.

FAQs
Start by verifying the enclosure width is 850 mm and height aligns with the 100 mm corner pieces. Unpack the four corner covers, two front/rear trim panels, and the base/plinth corner pieces. Align each corner piece with the enclosure base, secure using the supplied assembly parts, then attach the front and rear trim panels. Replace corner covers to complete the secure, flush base. This reduces installation time and ensures consistent stability across multiple bases.
This corner piece is designed for VX family enclosures with a width of 850 mm and a height of 100 mm, including VX, VX IT, VX SE, TS variants, TX CableNet, TP, PC, IW, and CX lines. The kit includes assembly parts and four corner covers to ensure a precise fit and reliable base stabilization for compatible models.
VX 8660.004 carries UL 50E Type 1 certification for enclosure type compliance, and aligns with ETIM EC000721 and ECLASS 27182003 standards. This combination supports regulatory compliance, cross-brand compatibility, and accurate catalogue classification across supplier ecosystems.
The base/plinth corner pieces and trim panels are primarily sheet steel, with corner and baying covers in plastic, delivering robust mechanical strength and resistance to wear. The RAL 9005 finish integrates with standard enclosures for consistent aesthetics and corrosion resistance, while the plastic components help absorb minor impacts during handling and installation.
By improving stability and cable routing, installation time decreases and maintenance interruptions are reduced. With a per-pack weight of 5.55 kg and two packs per order, logistics are straightforward, and PCF of 21.1 kg CO2 eq per pack supports sustainability goals. Overall, faster installs, fewer reworks, and better lifecycle durability translate to lower total cost of ownership.
