Socket safety cover Rittal 2482.310, grey, protective cover for electrical sockets, 1 pc

Rittal 2482.310 is a grey socket safety cover supplied as a single unit and designed to protect electrical sockets and interfaces in enclosures and cabinets. The cover provides a physical barrier against accidental contact, dust and debris while allowing rapid access to sockets when required. It is suitable for use in industrial cabinets, maintenance environments and other installations where socket protection and controlled access are necessary.

Advantages

The protective cover features a mounting frame with an adjustable flap that snaps into position at opening angles between 90° and 180°, enabling controlled access and secure positioning. A snap fastener provides reliable sealing and can be locked to prevent unauthorised opening. The design allows rotation of connected SUB-D interfaces while the cover is in use, maintaining connection flexibility without compromising enclosure protection.

Suitable for

• Protection of electrical sockets and connections in industrial enclosures
• Cabinet and rack installations where rapid access to interfaces is needed
• Maintenance areas requiring a barrier against dust and accidental contact
• Applications needing a lockable cover to limit unauthorised access

Key specifications

• Colour: grey
• Quantity: 1 piece
• Mounting frame with flap adjustable between 90° and 180° opening angles
• Snap fastener for sealing; option to lock
• Allows rotation of SUB-D interfaces while in use

How to use

Install the cover on the enclosure or cutout according to the cabinet manufacturer's mounting requirements. Place the mounting frame over the socket area and secure it so the flap aligns with the socket interface. When connecting devices, open the flap to the required angle (between 90° and 180°) where it will snap into position. Use the snap fastener to seal the cover when closed; engage the lock if restricted access is desired. The cover permits rotation of SUB-D plugs during operation without removing the protective frame.

Usage recommendations

Use the cover in environments where mechanical protection and restricted access are required; ensure the mounting and locking are compatible with your enclosure's dimensions and material. Regularly inspect the snap fastener and flap mechanism for wear and clean debris to maintain reliable sealing and operation.
