Rack rail Rittal SZ 8617.750 — metallic, pack of 4, model 8617750

Rittal SZ 8617.750 metallic rack rails are supplied as a pack of four and are intended for installation inside 19" server and network cabinets. These metallic mounting rails provide stable support for servers, switches and other rack-mount equipment. They are designed to enable interior compatibility between VX SE and VX25 cabinet systems when used as adapter rails, and can be cut to length to accommodate customised cabinet depths.

Advantages

These metallic rack rails deliver robust mechanical support for mounted equipment while maintaining standard 19" rack spacing. Supplied as a set of four, they simplify the installation of multiple units and help ensure a consistent mounting plane. The design allows adaptation between VX SE and VX25 interiors, reducing the need for separate proprietary parts, and the rails can be trimmed to the required length for bespoke cabinet configurations.

Suitable for

• Mounting 19" servers, switches and patch panels in network and server cabinets
• Adapting VX SE and VX25 cabinet interiors for compatibility
• Custom cabinet depths where rails must be cut to length
• Professional IT racks and data centre enclosures requiring metallic support rails

When it may not be suitable

This pack contains only metallic mounting rails and does not include corner posts, screws, cage nuts or other fasteners; these must be sourced separately to complete an installation. It may not be suitable for applications that require pre-drilled, fixed-length rails without modification, or for lightweight consumer equipment that does not need rigid metallic supports.

Key specifications

• Material: metallic construction suitable for rack mounting
• Quantity: pack of four rails for complete internal support
• Compatibility: designed for 19" rack equipment and for adapting VX SE to VX25 interiors
• Adjustability: rails can be cut to length for customised cabinet depths

How to use

Measure the internal depth of the cabinet and determine the required rail length before any cutting. Secure the rails to the cabinet frame or mounting points using appropriate fasteners (screws, cage nuts or bolts) compatible with 19" racks. Install equipment by aligning rack-mount ears or brackets with the rails and fasten with suitable hardware. If adapting between VX SE and VX25 systems, confirm alignment and mounting planes before final trimming to ensure correct fit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify internal cabinet depth and whether the rails must be trimmed to length
• Confirm compatibility with your cabinet system (VX SE, VX25) and mounting points
• Ensure you have or obtain the correct fasteners and tools for installation
• Check load requirements of mounted equipment to confirm rails meet strength needs

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow safe metal-cutting practices when trimming rails. Pre-fit rails and equipment before final tightening, and distribute load evenly across rails to maintain cabinet stability and reliable equipment mounting.
