## Summary description

Rittal VX 8685.000 is a freestanding server/equipment rack designed for secure, dust- and splash-protected housing of electrical and electronic components. It features a key lock for controlled access and IP55 protection rating for protection against dust and water jets. Finished in grey, it is suitable for industrial and commercial installations requiring robust enclosure protection.

## Long description

The Rittal VX 8685.000 freestanding rack is a durable grey enclosure designed for industrial and technical installations. It features a robust frame with a single front door, a rear panel, a mounting plate and a roof plate, as well as divided gland plates to organise cable entry points. Rated to IP55, the cabinet protects internal components from dust ingress and water jets, and the unit includes a key lock for basic security. Its 600 x 1800 x 500 mm exterior dimensions and a weight of approximately 90 kg make it suitable for stable floor-mounted installation where reliable protection and structured internal fitting are required.
Advantages
The VX enclosure provides a stable, modular frame that simplifies interior assembly and wiring, with separated gland plates to help route and protect cables. Its IP55 protection level and solid construction offer dependable protection in industrial environments, while the keyed lock adds a straightforward access control measure. The grey finish and standardised dimensions support compatibility with common rack-mounted equipment and accessories.
Suitable for
Industrial control cabinets and switchgear installations
Server and network equipment in non-climate-controlled rooms
Machine-mounted electrical distribution and PLC enclosures
Applications requiring organised cable entry and IP55 protection
When it may not be suitable
This freestanding rack is not intended for outdoor installations where higher ingress protection or additional environmental sealing is required beyond IP55. It may also be unsuitable when very high physical security or heavy anti-corrosion coatings are needed; in such cases, specialised enclosures with greater protection ratings or materials should be considered.

Internal space and mounting plate layout for your components and wiring

Usage recommendations
For best results, plan the internal layout before installation, separate power and signal cables using the divided gland plates, and ensure the cabinet is grounded and mounted on a level, load-bearing surface. Regularly inspect seals and locks to maintain IP55 performance.
