## Long description

Rittal 5842.600 is a carbon steel electrical enclosure with IP55 protection, sized 1600 x 1800 x 400 mm (W x H x D). Intended for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations, this individual VX SE system cabinet features a stable one-piece body construction with roof and sides formed from a single sheet and a roll-formed frame. It includes two integrated mounting levels, a screw-fastened rear panel and a hinged front door, providing a robust housing for switchgear, control panels and telecommunication equipment. The enclosure is system-compatible and can be expanded with VX25 accessories to accommodate specific installation requirements.
Advantages
The enclosure’s carbon steel construction and roll-formed frame deliver mechanical stability and long service life while weighing 222 kg for a sturdy, vibration-resistant installation. IP55 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and water jets, suitable for many industrial and utility environments. Integrated mounting levels and a screw-fastened rear panel simplify equipment mounting and reduce installation time. Compatibility with VX25 accessories allows flexible expansion and customization without modifying the basic enclosure.
Suitable for (tasks / use cases)
Housing low- and medium-voltage switchgear and distribution components
Mounting control panels and PLCs in industrial automation applications
Protecting telecommunication and networking equipment in sheltered outdoor or indoor technical rooms
Centralising electrical installations where a wide single cabinet reduces the need for bayed suites
When it may not be suitable
This carbon steel IP55 cabinet is designed primarily for indoor or sheltered outdoor locations and is not specified for full outdoor exposure without additional protection. It is a heavy single-piece enclosure (222 kg), so sites with strict weight limits or where frequent relocation is required may need lighter or modular alternatives. For applications requiring higher protection against continuous water ingress or corrosive atmospheres, a cabinet with a higher IP rating or stainless steel construction should be considered.

Protection rating: IP55 (dust-protected, protected against water jets)
External dimensions (W x H x D): 1600 x 1800 x 400 mm

Rear panel: screw-fastened removable rear panel

How to use
Place the enclosure on a prepared, level foundation capable of supporting its weight and secure it according to local mounting regulations. Install internal mounting plates, rails or subpanels using the integrated mounting levels, and attach switchgear, control components and cabling to the screw-fastened rear panel and interior mounting structure. Ensure cable entry points and gland plates are used in accordance with IP55 integrity, and connect earthing/grounding to the designated terminals. If additional components or accessories are required, fit VX25-compatible parts following the manufacturer’s instructions.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that the external dimensions (1600 x 1800 x 400 mm) fit the available installation space and access routes.
Confirm floor or mounting structure load capacity for the enclosure weight (222 kg) plus installed equipment.
Check that IP55 environmental protection and carbon steel material meet the site’s corrosion and weather exposure requirements.
Determine required accessory compatibility (VX25 system) for internal layout and cable entry options.
Usage recommendations
To maintain IP55 performance, ensure all cable glands and seals are correctly installed and periodically inspected. Use VX25 accessories for efficient interior organisation and plan for adequate ventilation or cooling if dissipated heat from installed equipment is significant.
