Rack rail Rittal 8617.830 stainless steel 1200 mm for server and network racks

Rittal 8617.830 rack rail is a 1200 mm mounting rail for 19" server and network cabinets, produced in steel with a stainless-steel finish. The rail profile measures 48 x 26 mm and is designed to support servers, switches and other 19" rack equipment. This accessory provides a robust, corrosion-resistant mounting surface for use in industrial enclosures and IT racks where reliable load support and stable installation are required.

Advantages

The stainless-steel finish improves corrosion resistance and helps maintain a professional appearance in technical environments. The 48 x 26 mm profile offers a balance of rigidity and compatibility with standard 19" mounting hardware. At 1200 mm length, the rail accommodates deeper equipment and enables flexible installation positions within the rack. Constructed of steel, the rail provides secure load-bearing capacity and long-term durability for continuous operation.

Suitable for

• Mounting 19" servers and rackmount switches
• Supporting storage units and network appliances in 19" cabinets
• Use in industrial enclosures, data centres and telecommunications racks
• Retrofit or new installations requiring stainless-steel finish and extended depth

When it may not be suitable

This rack rail is intended for use with standard 19" rack equipment and may not be suitable for non-standard or custom mounting systems that require different profiles or hole patterns. It is a structural accessory and does not include rails with sliding mechanisms or built-in cable management; applications that require integrated slides or cable trays may need additional components.

Key specifications

• Material: steel with stainless-steel finish
• Profile dimensions: 48 x 26 mm
• Length: 1200 mm
• Compatibility: for 19" rack equipment mounting
• Application environment: industrial and IT cabinets, server rooms

How to use

Install the rail inside a compatible 19" cabinet using appropriate mounting points and fasteners. Align the rail at the required height and depth, secure both ends to the cabinet frame to ensure stable load distribution, and then mount 19" equipment using standard rack screws and cage nuts or captive nuts, depending on the cabinet design. Verify that the rail is level and firmly fixed before placing heavy devices; use two rails per equipment unit for balanced support.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm cabinet depth and available mounting positions to ensure the 1200 mm length fits correctly
• Check compatibility of mounting holes and hardware (rack screws, cage nuts) with your cabinet
• Assess required load capacity and whether additional rails or support brackets are needed
• Decide if a stainless-steel finish is required for corrosion resistance or aesthetic reasons

Usage recommendations

For stable installation, use matched pairs of rails for each rackmount device, distribute weight evenly, and fasten rails to the cabinet frame at multiple points. Add supplementary supports for very heavy equipment and combine with separate cable management or sliding rail kits if required by the application.
