Blank panel Rittal VX 8618.451 — grey, width 650 mm, height 29 mm

Rittal VX 8618.451 is a grey blank panel designed for VX series enclosures. The panel is non-ventilated and supplied as a single piece with an installation width of 650 mm and a height of 29 mm. It is intended to close unused openings, create neat internal divisions and provide protection for internal components in control cabinets and switchgear.

Advantages

The blank panel offers a smooth, uniform surface that simplifies cabinet layout and improves internal cable management. Its non-ventilated design prevents dust and debris ingress through unused openings and helps maintain separation between compartments. The panel’s compatibility with VX series enclosures ensures a clean fit and consistent appearance across modular installations.

Suitable for

• Closing unused openings in VX series control cabinets and distribution enclosures
• Creating internal partitions or mounting surfaces for small components and cable runs
• Protecting sensitive electronics from accidental contact and dust inside switchgear

When it may not be suitable

The panel is non-ventilated, so it is not suitable where airflow or forced ventilation through the opening is required for thermal management. It is a simple cover piece without integral mounting hardware; if additional structural support or special fastening is needed, separate accessories must be used.

Key specifications

• Color: grey
• Type: blank, non-ventilated panel
• Width (installation): 650 mm
• Height: 29 mm
• Supplied quantity: single piece

How to use

Position the panel over the unused opening inside a VX series enclosure and align it with the enclosure’s mounting points or rails. Secure the panel using the appropriate fasteners or retaining strips supplied separately or provided with the enclosure. Ensure edges are seated evenly to maintain a flush interior surface and check that no wiring is trapped between the panel and cabinet walls.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the panel’s installation width (650 mm) and height (29 mm) match the enclosure opening dimensions
• Confirm VX series compatibility with your cabinet model to ensure correct fit
• Consider ventilation needs; choose a ventilated panel if airflow is required
• Plan for any additional fasteners or mounting accessories if they are not included

Usage recommendations

Use the blank panel to close unused spaces and maintain a tidy internal layout; verify fitment and secure with suitable fasteners. For applications requiring heat dissipation, select ventilated panels or incorporate active cooling rather than using this non-ventilated cover.
