19" Network Cabinet Rittal TX CableNet 42U 600x800 mm with glazed and solid doors, 2-fan unit and PDU

The Rittal 19" Network Cabinet TX CableNet 42U (600x800 mm) is a rack solution designed for mounting 19" servers, switches and network devices in server rooms, communication closets and edge installations. This bundle includes a glazed front door and a solid sheet-metal rear door, a 2-fan ventilation unit and a power distribution unit (PDU), providing basic active airflow management, secure equipment housing and integrated cable routing features. The cabinet supports standard 19" mounting rails and offers a 42U usable height for dense equipment deployment.

Advantages

The TX CableNet cabinet combines a transparent front door for visual inspection with a solid door to protect cables and rear equipment. Integrated cable routing and entry points simplify organised cabling while the included 2-fan unit provides forced airflow to assist heat dissipation from rack-mounted devices. The supplied PDU allows centralised power distribution inside the cabinet, reducing the need for external power strips. The 600x800 mm footprint balances depth for most rack equipment with a smaller floor area for constrained rooms.

Suitable for

• Small to medium server rooms and IT closets requiring 42U mounting capacity
• Edge sites and branch offices where a compact 600x800 mm cabinet is preferred
• Deployments that need basic active cooling and centralised power distribution
• Installations requiring a mix of visible front access and protected rear access

When it may not be suitable

This cabinet is not intended for environments requiring dedicated high-capacity cooling, such as high-density compute clusters or data centres with strict redundancy and airflow management requirements. It may also be unsuitable when very deep equipment (greater than the cabinet's 800 mm depth allowance plus mounting clearance) or specialised seismic or outdoor enclosures are required.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19" free-standing network cabinet
• Usable height: 42U
• Footprint (W x D): 600 x 800 mm
• Doors: glazed front door and solid sheet-metal rear door
• Cooling: included 2-fan ventilation unit for forced airflow
• Power: included PDU for internal power distribution
• Cable management: integrated routing and entry points
• Mounting: adjustable 19" mounting rails

How to use

Position the cabinet on a level floor in a location with adequate room for front and rear access. Assemble and secure the cabinet according to the manufacturer's instructions, install the adjustable 19" mounting rails to the required U positions and mount servers, switches and other 19" equipment. Route cables through the cabinet's provided entry points and organize them using the built-in cable management features. Install the included PDU inside the cabinet and connect it to an appropriate mains supply following local electrical regulations. Use the 2-fan unit to assist airflow; monitor device inlet temperatures and add further cooling if required for higher thermal loads.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the depth of your rack equipment to ensure fit within the 800 mm cabinet depth plus clearance
• Check total power draw of installed equipment to verify the PDU and electrical supply meet capacity and outlet type requirements
• Assess cooling needs—high-density configurations may require supplemental cooling solutions
• Ensure the installation site provides sufficient space for door opening, ventilation and cable access

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, balance equipment load across the rack, maintain clear airflow paths front-to-back, fasten heavy devices to lower U positions for stability, and plan cable routes to avoid obstructing ventilation. Regularly inspect fan operation and PDU connections as part of routine maintenance.
