Rittal Blue e Steel Enclosure 400x260x950 mm

The Rittal Blue e steel enclosure (400 x 260 x 950 mm) is a robust indoor cabinet designed to protect electronic and electrical equipment. Constructed from durable steel with a professional grey finish, it provides a secure housing for control units, instrumentation and small switchgear while allowing straightforward installation and maintenance. The enclosure is compatible with Rittal Blue e cooling technology and supports hybrid, energy-efficient climate control solutions.

Advantages

High mechanical stability and corrosion-resistant steel construction ensure long service life and reliable protection for installed components. The compact 400 × 260 × 950 mm footprint fits in constrained technical spaces while offering sufficient internal volume for typical control and distribution equipment. Compatibility with energy-efficient Rittal Blue e cooling systems and the enclosure’s neutral design simplify integration into existing installations.

Suitable for

• Housing small switchgear and control panels in industrial environments
• Protecting electronic instrumentation and PLCs in machine rooms
• Installation where a compact, wall- or floor-mounted steel cabinet is required
• Enclosures that will be paired with active cooling solutions such as Rittal Blue e

When it may not be suitable

This steel enclosure is intended for indoor use and may not be appropriate for outdoor or highly corrosive environments without additional protective measures. It is sized for small to medium internal assemblies; larger switchgear or high-density installations may require a bigger cabinet or a modular enclosure system.

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Finish: grey
• External dimensions (W × D × H): 400 × 260 × 950 mm
• Intended use: indoor electrical/electronic housing
• Compatibility: suitable for integration with Rittal Blue e cooling units

How to use

Mount the enclosure according to local installation standards, ensuring secure fixing to a wall or floor as required. Fit panels, DIN rails and mounting plates inside the cabinet to arrange components before connecting power and control wiring. If active cooling is required, install a compatible Rittal Blue e cooling unit following the manufacturer’s instructions and provide appropriate airflow and cable routing.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify internal mounting space and accessory requirements (DIN rails, mounting plates)
• Confirm indoor installation environment and any need for additional surface protection
• Check compatibility with planned cooling solutions and cable entry points

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, plan component layout to allow sufficient clearance around heat-generating devices and, when using Blue e cooling units, ensure unobstructed air intake and exhaust paths to maximise energy-efficient performance.
