Rack rail Rittal 8617.760 — metallic rack accessory, pack of 4

Rittal 8617.760 — metallic rack accessory, pack of 4 is a set of four adapter rails designed to create compatibility between VX SE and VX25 interior installations. Supplied as a metallic rail set, these components are intended for mounting and supporting equipment in server, network and industrial cabinets. The adapter rail for VX compatibility can be cut to length to suit customised configurations and to integrate existing equipment into standard 19" rack layouts.

Advantages

The metallic construction provides structural support and durability for mounted equipment while maintaining dimensional compatibility with VX series enclosures. Supplied as a pack of four, the set offers multiple mounting points and consistent spacing for professional IT, telecom and industrial applications. The ability to cut the adaptor rail to length allows straightforward customisation on site without requiring special replacement parts.

Suitable for

• Mounting servers, switches and patch panels in VX SE and VX25 compatible cabinets
• Converting interior installations between VX SE and VX25 rack systems
• Industrial control equipment mounting inside network or server cabinets
• Custom cabinet configurations where shortened rails are required

When it may not be suitable

This set is intended as an adapter rail for VX series compatibility and is not a complete rack frame or standalone cabinet. It does not include fasteners, cage nuts or toothless rails unless specified separately by the enclosure manufacturer. For installations that require finished rails with integrated mounting rails at non-standard depths or load-bearing specifications beyond typical server equipment, consult the cabinet documentation or select dedicated mounting rails designed for higher load ratings.

Key specifications

• Material: metallic construction suitable for equipment support
• Pack contents: four adaptor rails for VX compatibility
• Compatibility: designed to enable interior compatibility between VX SE and VX25 systems
• Customisation: adaptor rail can be cut to length for customised configurations
• Application areas: server racks, network racks, industrial cabinets

How to use

Position the adaptor rails inside the enclosure to align with existing mounting points for VX SE or VX25. If required, measure and mark the rail and cut to the desired length using appropriate metal cutting tools, then deburr the cut edges to remove sharpness. Attach the rails to the cabinet frame using compatible fasteners and verify alignment and level before mounting equipment. Confirm that the chosen fasteners and mounting method match the enclosure manufacturer's recommendations and the weight of installed devices.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify cabinet compatibility with VX SE and VX25 series prior to ordering
• Check required rail length and whether cutting on site is acceptable
• Confirm needed fasteners and accessories are included or must be purchased separately
• Ensure the material and load capacity meet the weight of intended equipment

Usage recommendations

For safe installation, use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or deburring rails, select corrosion-appropriate fasteners for the cabinet environment, and follow the enclosure manufacturer's assembly guidelines to maintain warranty and structural integrity.
