Product description
VX Distribution enclosure (ISV), WHdepth 850x2000x400 mm, sheet steel, single-door
Rigid sheet steel construction with a dipcoat-primed frame and a powder-coated exterior delivers long service life and corrosion resistance in harsh environments. This reduces maintenance costs and downtime while providing predictable performance across demanding production environments. The VX 9666.956 offers 850 mm width, 2,000 mm height, and 400 mm depth, supporting ISV module layouts and 600 mm distribution configurations with room for cabling and accessories. The right-hand door is standard but can be swapped to the left, enabling retrofit flexibility during plant expansion or relocation projects. Supplied gland plates, rear panel, and roof plate simplify cable entry and regulatory compliance, streamlining installation and reducing commissioning time. The enclosure’s IP 55 and NEMA 12 ratings, together with IEC 61439-1/-2 readiness, provide clear assurance for electrical safety and system integrity in industrial settings. Finish quality, zinc-plated gland plates, and sturdy construction reduce maintenance intensity and extend service intervals in corrosive or dusty environments. Sustainability considerations are reflected in PCF metrics and responsible packaging practices, supporting corporate ESG goals while preserving total cost of ownership.

FAQs

The VX 9666.956 provides a right-hand hinge by default with a single door and can be swapped to a left-hand orientation to suit site layouts or retrofits. This flexibility simplifies retrofit projects and reduces downtime when reconfiguring existing ISV installations. The enclosure is designed to integrate with standard VX accessory sets for seamless mounting of ISV modules.
Dimensions are Width 850 mm, Height 2000 mm, Depth 400 mm, with a single door. Protection ratings include IP 55 per IEC 60 529 and NEMA 12, ensuring dust ingress protection and splash resistance suitable for harsh industrial environments. The unit is finished in RAL 7035 and uses sheet steel construction for durability.
For 600 mm wide distribution enclosures, Rittal recommends using VX basic enclosures rather than the ISV variant. The VX 9666.956 is optimized for ISV configurations within the 850 mm width framework, offering modular installation and integrated gland plates, but users planning 600 mm wide layouts should evaluate VX basic options to ensure proper fit and access.
The supply includes the enclosure frame, one door hinged on the right (swap to left if required), gland plates, rear panel, roof plate, and a 3 mm double-bit lock. This complete kit supports straightforward installation, with doors and gland plates pre-fitted where possible to minimize on-site assembly time.
The enclosure carries IP55 and NEMA 12 ratings and complies with IEC 61439-1/-2 readiness, supporting safety and regulatory compliance for industrial control applications. Sustainability metrics are provided as PCF per pack (273.5 kg CO2 eq, Category B), with zinc-plated gland plates and dipcoat powder-coat finishes contributing to longer service life and reduced lifecycle environmental impact.
