Rack rail Rittal IT 7100.400 — steel, grey, pack of 2

Rittal IT 7100.400 rack rail is a pair of steel mounting rails finished in grey, designed for installation of equipment in 19" rack systems. Supplied as a pack of two, these rails provide the structural support required to mount IT hardware and power supplies in server cabinets and network enclosures. The rails are compatible with snap-type mounting for power supply units in Rittal OCP ORV3 racks and are intended to deliver a durable, stable mounting solution for professional IT environments.

Advantages

The steel construction offers high load-bearing capability and dimensional stability under continuous use, while the grey finish provides corrosion resistance and a neutral appearance that fits standard rack interiors. Delivered as a matched pair, the rails simplify installation and ensure proper alignment of mounted devices. Snap-type features allow quick fixation of compatible power supply units without additional custom brackets.

Suitable for

• Mounting power supply units in Rittal OCP ORV3 and compatible 19" rack enclosures
• Supporting network switches, small servers, and other 19" rack-mountable equipment
• Use in server rooms, data centres, telecommunications cabinets, and laboratory racks

When it may not be suitable

These rails are designed specifically for 19" rack systems and snap-type PSU installations; they are not intended for free-standing equipment or non-rack environments. If your hardware requires custom brackets, non-standard depths, or proprietary mounting interfaces, these standard rails may not provide the necessary fit or attachment points.

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Finish: grey
• Pack contents: two identical rails
• Mounting standard: for 19" rack systems
• Compatibility: snap-type mounting for compatible power supply units in Rittal OCP ORV3 racks

How to use

Install the pair of rails into the front and rear mounting positions of a 19" rack following the cabinet manufacturer's instructions. Align rail mounting holes with the rack's U-space and secure them with appropriate fasteners (screws or cage nuts) supplied with the enclosure. For snap-type power supplies, position the PSU on the rail and engage the snap mechanism until the unit is held firmly. Verify stability and electrical grounding after installation before powering connected equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your rack depth and the Rittal OCP ORV3 mounting geometry
• Ensure the rails can support the weight of the intended equipment
• Check that your power supply or device uses a snap-type interface compatible with these rails
• Verify required fastening hardware is included with your rack or available separately

Usage recommendations

Use the rails in matched pairs and follow rack and equipment manufacturer guidance for load distribution and grounding. For heavy or vibration-prone installations, verify load ratings and consider additional support brackets or cable management to reduce strain on mounting points.
