Product description
VX base/plinth corner piece with trim panel, front and rear, H: 200 mm, for W: 1800 mm, sheet steel
Feature: Enhanced stability and rigidity come from a robust sheet steel base/plinth corner piece, front/rear trim panels, and durable corner covers. Business impact: This reduces base movement, protects cables, and minimizes alignment drift during vibration, transport, and temperature cycling. Application: Ideal for long VX enclosure runs in factory floors, data centers, and outdoor-rated cabinets where consistent seating and panel alignment matter. Cable entry management is enhanced by the front and rear trim panels. The integrated design guides wiring and allows cleaner interior layouts, which speeds assembly and improves electrical integrity. In practice, technicians experience fewer service calls related to cable pinch points or misrouted conductors when configuring VX cabinets. Complete kit and installation efficiency: The supply includes 4 corner covers, 4 base/plinth corner pieces, 1 front/rear trim panel, and 2 trim panels, plus assembly parts. With a weight of 16.2 kg per pack and two packs per bundle, logistics are straightforward. The fit supports VX widths of 1,800 mm and a height of 200 mm, reducing the need for custom fabrication. Durability and appearance: The base/plinth corner piece and trim panels are sheet steel for strength, while corner and baying covers are plastic for damping and aesthetics. The color is RAL 9005, a standard black texture that resists wear in industrial environments. This combination simplifies stocking and improves visual consistency across whole-line enclosures. Environmental and standards alignment: UL 50E Type 1 certification is addressed by the design, and the product data sheets provide mounting clearances to ensure compliance during integration. The PCF value of 61.7 kg CO2 eq per cradle-to-gate unit supports sustainability reporting, while the 94039910 customs tariff guarantees traceability during international shipment.
