Rack plate Rittal 3088.000 – ABS grey housing, pack of 4

Rittal 3088.000 rack plate is an ABS grey housing accessory supplied as a pack of four plates. Designed for use in server and equipment racks, the plate fits common enclosure openings and provides a neat, durable cover for unused rack spaces. The RAL 7035-like colour and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene construction make it suitable for IT and industrial environments where consistent appearance and impact resistance are required.

Advantages

The ABS material offers good mechanical strength, dimensional stability and resistance to many common chemicals, while the grey finish ensures a uniform look in typical rack installations. Supplied in a pack of four, these plates allow for multiple closures or replacements and are lightweight for easy handling and installation. Their flat design enables straightforward mounting for covering openings, organizing cables or attaching small components where non-metallic panels are preferred.

Suitable for

• Capping unused rack or cabinet openings in IT enclosures
• Cable routing and organization within equipment racks
• Mounting small non-load-bearing components or clamps inside cabinets
• Applications requiring an RAL 7035-like grey appearance and non-conductive material

When it may not be suitable

This rack plate is made from ABS and is therefore not intended for structural load-bearing applications or environments requiring high-temperature resistance beyond the material's specification. It does not provide electromagnetic shielding or grounding and should not be used where conductive or metal panels are required for earthing or RF protection.

Key specifications

• Material: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)
• Colour: Grey (RAL 7035-like)
• Quantity: 4 plates per pack
• Intended use: Rack/cabinet paneling, cable organization, mounting small components
• Form factor: Flat plate suitable for covering rectangular openings

How to use

Position the plate over the intended opening in the rack or cabinet and secure it according to the enclosure's existing fixing points or plate clamps. The lightweight ABS construction allows quick placement and removal for maintenance access. Use appropriate non-conductive fasteners or the manufacturer-recommended clamps for conductor connection clamps and plate clamps to ensure a secure fit without damaging the plate. When routing cables, pass them through or alongside the plate opening areas while maintaining strain relief and separation from power conductors as required by installation standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the plate dimensions and compatibility with your rack or enclosure openings.
• Confirm that a non-conductive ABS plate meets your requirements for grounding and RF shielding.
• Ensure the RAL 7035-like grey matches your installation's aesthetic needs.
• Check quantity per pack to match the number of openings to be covered.

Usage recommendations

For reliable installation, use the enclosure manufacturer's recommended plate clamps or non-conductive fasteners and follow local standards for cable routing and grounding. Avoid exposure to solvents or temperatures beyond ABS specifications to maintain mechanical properties and appearance.
