## Long description

The Rittal VX 8438.000 42U freestanding rack is a grey server cabinet designed for installations that accept 482.6 mm (19") assemblies and slide-in equipment. It provides front and rear mounting options with 19" adaptor sections integrated into the front frame, rear door, roof plate and divided gland plates, enabling standard rack-mounted components to be installed and accessed from both sides.
Advantages
This freestanding rack supports a full 42U mounting height in a compact footprint and features 19" adaptor sections at key access points for straightforward installation of standard server, networking and electronic equipment. The integrated divided gland plates and roof plate simplify cable entry and routing, while the grey finish offers a neutral appearance suitable for data rooms and technical environments.
Suitable for
Server and network equipment installations using 19" rack-mount hardware
Telecommunications and IT cabinets in server rooms and data centres
Electronic control systems and industrial automation racks
When it may not be suitable
This rack is built for standard 482.6 mm (19") assemblies; it is not suitable for non-standard or proprietary mounting widths without additional adapter hardware. If you require a different mounting depth, specialised airflow management, or a colour other than grey, consider alternative enclosures that match those specific needs.

What to consider before purchase
Confirm that your equipment uses the 482.6 mm (19") rack standard and fits within a 42U mounting height
Check the internal depth of the rack against the depth requirements of your servers and components
Consider cooling and cable management needs for your planned configuration
Ensure floor loading and footprint are appropriate for the installation site
