Rittal Sockelblende VX with Brush Strip for B/T 1200mm

The Rittal Sockelblende VX with Brush Strip for B/T 1200mm is a front plinth panel designed to fit base units with a width/depth configuration of 1200 mm. It provides a tidy finish at the base of enclosures and cabinets while integrating a brush strip that allows cables to pass through the plinth without leaving large gaps. The brush strip reduces ingress of dust and debris and helps maintain a professional appearance for server racks, control cabinets and industrial housings.

Advantages

This Sockelblende VX combines mechanical protection and cable management in a single component. The brush strip offers controlled cable entry and helps prevent dust accumulation inside the cabinet. Its dimensions match B/T 1200 mm base units for a flush fit that improves the overall look of installations. The design supports easier cleaning at the plinth area and reduces the risk of cable damage at the cabinet floor.

Suitable for

• Server racks and IT cabinets with B/T 1200 mm footprint
• Electrical and control cabinets in industrial environments
• Telecommunications and network equipment enclosures
• Enclosures where dust protection and tidy cable routing at the base are required

Key specifications

• Compatibility: designed for base units with width/depth 1200 mm
• Feature: integrated brush strip for cable passage
• Function: dust and debris reduction at cabinet base
• Application area: plinth / base panel for enclosures and cabinets

How to use

Mount the Sockelblende VX to the cabinet base following the enclosure manufacturer’s assembly instructions. Align the panel with the cabinet plinth opening and secure it using the designated mounting points or fasteners. Route cables through the brush strip so that they pass cleanly through the plinth while the bristles close around them to limit dust ingress. Verify the fit is flush and that the brush strip contacts cables without excessive compression.

Usage recommendations

To maintain performance, periodically inspect the brush strip for accumulated debris and clean with a soft brush or low-pressure air. Avoid forcing oversized cable bundles through the brush; use multiple entry points if necessary to prevent wear and preserve dust protection.
