Enclosure Accessory Rittal CP 6218.150 Grey Plastic profile for CP 180 series

Rittal CP 6218.150 is a grey plastic profile designed for the CP 180 enclosure series. Manufactured from durable plastic, it functions as a mounting and finishing profile that facilitates tidy installations, secure attachment of components and practical cable routing within control cabinets and enclosures.

Advantages

The profile features an open cable duct that allows easy access for servicing and accommodates pre-assembled cables with connectors. Its X-shaped internal profiling increases load capacity while maintaining a slim external form. The upper channel is large enough for cables with bulky connectors such as DVI or VGA and runs consistently throughout the system. Installation uses four self-tapping screws in an integrated screw channel and does not require thread-tapping; the profile can be cut to length as needed.

Suitable for

• Mounting and finishing work on Rittal CP 180 series enclosures and control cabinets
• Routing and securing pre-assembled cables with large connectors (DVI, VGA) inside enclosures
• Industrial and electrical installations that require service-friendly cable access
• Applications where easy on-site length adjustment and simple fastening are needed

When it may not be suitable

This plastic profile is intended as an accessory for CP 180 enclosures; it may not be compatible with other enclosure series or custom cabinets without matching mounting provisions. It is made of plastic and therefore is not intended as a load-bearing structural member for heavy mechanical loads beyond the specified internal profiling capacity.

Key specifications

• Material: durable grey plastic
• Compatibility: designed for CP 180 enclosure series
• Mounting: attachment with 4 self-tapping screws via integrated screw channel
• Cable management: open duct with large upper channel for connectors such as DVI and VGA
• Design features: X-shaped internal profiling for increased load capacity
• Adjustability: can be cut to required length on site; no thread-tapping required

How to use

Measure and cut the profile to the required length using appropriate cutting tools for plastic. Position the profile on the CP 180 mounting points and secure it using four self-tapping screws inserted into the integrated screw channel; no additional thread preparation is necessary. Route cables through the open duct, placing larger-connector cables in the upper channel for clearance. Where required, close or lock the cover section to protect and secure the cables while still allowing future access for service.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your enclosure model and mounting provisions (CP 180 series)
• Confirm that plastic material properties and load capacity meet your mechanical and environmental requirements
• Check required profile length and whether on-site cutting is acceptable
• Ensure the cable types and connector sizes you plan to route fit within the upper channel dimensions

Usage recommendations

For reliable installation, use appropriate self-tapping screws and standard plastic cutting tools. Plan cable routing so that bulky connectors occupy the upper channel and secure smaller cables in the lower sections; routinely inspect mounted profiles for wear or deformation in high-vibration environments.
