Socket-outlet VGA Rittal 2482.510, white, SUB-D9 interface insert

The Rittal 2482.510 is a white socket-outlet designed as a SUB-D9 (VGA/D-Sub 9) interface insert for control cabinets and enclosures. It provides a standard VGA or D-Sub 9 connection for analog video or compatible serial signals, mounted flush to a panel to allow secure, panel-mounted signal routing and easy access for displays or connected equipment. The insert keeps the housing closed when not in use, protecting internal components from environmental effects and limiting unauthorized access.

Advantages

This interface insert offers a compact, panel-mounted solution for integrating a SUB-D9 connection into a control cabinet or enclosure. The hinged cover opens across a range of angles from 90° to 180°, allowing flexible cable routing and convenient access. A snap-fit closure provides a reliable seal when closed, and the cover can be locked if required. The design allows the SUB-D connector to be rotated within the insert, enabling alignment to the installation and simplifying connection of mating plugs.

Suitable for

• Mounting a VGA or D-Sub 9 serial connection on control cabinets and electrical enclosures
• Applications requiring protected panel access to analog video or serial interfaces
• Industrial and automation cabinets where dust, splash protection and limited access are needed
• Service panels and equipment racks where occasional connection of displays or diagnostic tools is required

When it may not be suitable

This SUB-D9 insert is intended for analog VGA or D-Sub 9 compatible signals and is not suitable for high-speed digital interfaces (for example, HDMI or DisplayPort) or connectors requiring shielded multi-pin ground arrangements beyond the standard SUB-D9 design. It is also not a full enclosure solution for applications requiring IP ratings above what the panel system provides; check the overall cabinet or panel sealing specifications if a specific ingress protection level is required.

Key specifications

• Connector type: SUB-D 9 (D-Sub 9) for analog VGA or compatible serial signals
• Color: white
• Mounting: panel-mounted interface insert for control cabinets and enclosures
• Cover mechanism: hinged cover with adjustable opening angle (approx. 90°–180°)
• Closure: snap-fit seal; can be locked for restricted access
• Connector orientation: rotatable SUB-D insert for alignment during installation

How to use

Install the insert into the prepared cut-out of a compatible control cabinet or enclosure panel following the cabinet manufacturer’s mounting instructions. Secure the insert so the hinged cover operates freely and aligns with the panel surface. Connect the SUB-D9 cable or mating connector to the internal socket; use the cover to protect the connector when not in use. If required, engage the locking feature to prevent unauthorized access. Ensure cable routing does not stress the connector and that any panel-level seals meet the site's environmental protection needs.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a SUB-D9 interface meets the signal requirements (analog VGA or serial) for your device
• Verify panel cut-out dimensions and compatibility with your control cabinet or enclosure
• Check required environmental protection or ingress rating for the overall assembly
• Consider whether locking the cover is necessary for security or restricted access

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate mating SUB-D9 cables and secure cable strain relief inside the cabinet to prevent connector damage. If used in dusty or wet environments, confirm the cabinet’s sealing and consider additional protective measures for cables and terminations. Rotate the insert for optimal alignment before final fastening to simplify connector access and reduce insertion force.
