Rittal 7494.000 is a grey rack accessory supplied as a pack of three. Designed for Data Rack applications, it functions as a connection and attachment component to join or extend rack units in server rooms, network cabinets and data-centre installations. The components are intended for mechanical joining of enclosures and support straightforward assembly of rows of distributor frames while facilitating cable routing between adjacent racks.
Advantages
The pack of three connection pieces offers a consistent finish in RAL 7035 grey and is made to integrate with Data Rack systems, reducing the need for custom fabrication. These rack connectors provide a stable mechanical link between enclosures to maintain alignment and spacing, and they simplify the alignment process during installation. Being purpose-made for Data Rack use, they help preserve the structural integrity of assembled rows and create repeatable mounting points for further accessories or panels.
Suitable for
- Joining multiple Data Rack enclosures to form continuous rows
- Extending existing rack installations where additional length or support is required
- Maintaining alignment and spacing in server rooms and network cabinets
- Cable routing between adjacent racks as part of structured cabling setups
When it may not be suitable
These connectors are intended specifically for use with compatible Data Rack systems; they may not fit non-Rittal or non-Data Rack enclosures. They are mechanical joining components and do not provide electrical bonding, earthing, or load-bearing capabilities beyond typical rack alignment and support. For structural modifications requiring engineering approval or where weight-bearing brackets are needed, alternative products should be evaluated.
Key specifications
- Colour: RAL 7035 (grey)
- Pack quantity: 3 pieces
- Intended application: Data Rack enclosure connection and alignment
- Primary function: Mechanical joining/attachment for rack rows and cable routing support
How to use
Install the connectors at the interface between two Data Rack enclosures following the rack manufacturer’s assembly sequence. Position the connector pieces to align mounting holes, secure with the appropriate fasteners supplied or specified for the enclosure system, and confirm that adjacent panels and doors operate correctly after installation. Use the connectors to create consistent gaps for cable entry or to align further accessory mounting points. Always follow any torque and fastening guidelines in the Data Rack installation manual.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm compatibility with your specific Data Rack enclosure model and mounting hole pattern
- Verify that the grey RAL 7035 colour matches other installed equipment if visual consistency is important
- Ensure pack quantity and number of connectors meet the length and number of joining points required
Usage recommendations
Use these connectors as intended: for mechanical joining and alignment of Data Rack enclosures in controlled data-centre and network-cabinet environments. Combine with correct fasteners and follow the Data Rack assembly instructions to maintain enclosure integrity and cable management pathways.
