Why Choose the Rittal VX IT 5301.310 External Baying Connector?

The Rittal VX IT 5301.310 is an external 3 mm baying connector designed for joining Rittal VX IT enclosure frames where a defined separation between adjacent racks is required. It is particularly suited to installations incorporating partition walls or applications where racks and Rittal LCP cooling equipment may need to be exchanged retrospectively.

The connector maintains the required 3 mm baying distance, providing the clearance needed for subsequent modifications to a bayed enclosure suite. This makes it possible to replace racks or LCP devices and to retrospectively install or remove one-piece slide-in partitions without dismantling the complete enclosure arrangement.

Manufactured from durable zinc-plated sheet steel, the VX IT 5301.310 is supplied as a complete installation set containing 4 external baying connectors, an 8 m baying seal and the necessary assembly parts. When used in the specified VX IT configuration, the maximum achievable enclosure protection rating is IP20 to IEC 60529.

Flexible Baying for VX IT Infrastructure

Bayed IT enclosure systems often need to accommodate future changes to rack layouts, cooling equipment and partition arrangements. The Rittal VX IT 5301.310 creates a controlled 3 mm separation between adjacent frames, providing the clearance required to carry out these modifications while maintaining a structured enclosure installation.

This arrangement is particularly valuable in data centres and IT facilities where equipment configurations may change throughout the life of the installation. By supporting retrospective rack or LCP replacement and the installation or removal of slide-in partitions, the VX IT 5301.310 helps provide a more adaptable infrastructure for evolving IT and cooling requirements.

Typical Applications

  • Rittal VX IT bayed enclosure systems.
  • Data centre server and network rack installations.
  • VX IT frames separated by partition walls.
  • Retrospective replacement of server or network racks.
  • Rittal LCP cooling system integration and replacement.
  • Installation or removal of one-piece slide-in partitions.
