Wall-mounted rack Rittal CS 9791.035, IP55 protection, grey

The Rittal CS 9791.035 wall mounted rack is an IP55-rated outdoor enclosure designed for mounting on walls or poles. It uses an enclosure-within-an-enclosure concept and features a grey exterior with ventilation louvres integrated into the rear and side panels. The outer enclosure includes a bottom cut-out to accommodate cabling and connections while maintaining protection against dust and water jets.

Advantages

This wall mounted rack provides robust environmental protection for electronics and network equipment with its IP55 rating. The enclosure-within-an-enclosure design improves thermal separation and protection of internal components, and the integrated louvres support passive ventilation without exposing equipment to direct weather. The bottom cut-out simplifies cable routing and installation for outdoor or semi-outdoor deployments.

Suitable for

• Outdoor mounting on walls where protection against dust and water jets is required
• Pole mounting for network or communications equipment in outdoor locations
• Housing small to medium-sized electronics, active network devices or controllers

When it may not be suitable

This enclosure is IP55 rated, which protects against dust and water jets but is not fully waterproof for prolonged submersion or high-pressure wash-downs. It is intended for small to medium installations; larger server racks or high-density equipment may require a bigger or more specialized cabinet.

Key specifications

• Type: Wall mounted rack
• Protection rating: IP55

• Mounting options: Wall or pole
• Design feature: Enclosure-within-an-enclosure with rear and side louvres for ventilation and bottom cut-out for cabling

How to use

Install equipment inside the inner enclosure, ensuring adequate clearance for ventilation through the integrated louvres and that cable entries do not compromise the protective rating.

What to consider before purchase

• Required internal dimensions and mounting depth for your equipment
• Environmental conditions at the installation site and whether IP55 protection is sufficient
• Mounting method (wall or pole) and suitable hardware

Usage recommendations

For reliable outdoor operation, verify that installed devices fit within the internal space, use proper cable seals at the bottom cut-out, and avoid placing the enclosure where it may be submerged or exposed to high-pressure cleaning.
