Rittal freestanding rack cabinet 42U VX series, IP55, 19" grey/black (model 5307.134)
Rittal freestanding rack cabinet 42U VX series, IP55, 19" grey/black (model 5307.134) is a 19-inch server cabinet designed to accommodate IT and industrial equipment in environments that require dust and splash protection. The cabinet provides a 42U rack capacity in a durable freestanding enclosure with dimensions of 2000 mm height, 800 mm width and 800 mm depth. Constructed from steel and aluminium with tempered glass elements where applicable, it combines robust physical protection with standard 19" rack mounting to support telecom, data centre and industrial applications.
The cabinet offers IP55 protection against dust ingress and water jets, making it suitable for harsher indoor environments than standard IT racks. With a rated rack capacity of 42U and a load capacity suitable for heavy server and networking equipment, it enables secure, organised installation of multiple devices. Removable front and back doors and side panels facilitate installation and maintenance, while a keyed locking mechanism provides basic physical security. The grey and black finish provides a neutral, professional appearance for mixed IT and industrial settings.
This cabinet is designed for indoor use where IP55 protection is sufficient; it may not be appropriate for outdoor installations or locations that require higher ingress protection (for example IP65 or above) or full climate control. Environments that need specialised seismic anchoring, active cooling integrated at the factory, or very shallow/deep equipment outside the given dimensions may require a different enclosure.
Place the freestanding cabinet on a level, stable surface capable of supporting its loaded weight. Remove packaging and any transport brackets before installing equipment. Fit 19" mounting rails to the required U positions and secure them according to mounting instructions. Install servers, network switches and other 19" devices from the bottom up, observing weight distribution and manufacturer guidance on clearances. Use the removable doors and side panels to gain access during cabling, maintenance and equipment replacement. Lock the cabinet when unattended to maintain physical security.
Distribute weight evenly and mount heavier equipment near the base, ensure adequate ventilation around heat-generating devices, and secure cables with appropriate management hardware. For critical installations, consult Rittal documentation for accessories and options compatible with the VX series to optimise protection and serviceability.
