Why Choose the Rittal VX IT 5307.157 Network/Server Rack?
The Rittal VX IT 5307.157 is a pre-configured VX IT network and server rack with a 482.6 mm (19-inch) swing frame, designed for professional server, networking and telecommunications installations.

The enclosure provides 40 U of usable installation height within an 800 mm wide × 2000 mm high × 800 mm deep cabinet.

Flexible 19-Inch Access for Professional IT Infrastructure
The integrated 19-inch swing frame is a key advantage of the Rittal VX IT 5307.157. By allowing the complete equipment mounting level to swing forwards through approximately 130°, technicians can gain direct access to rear connectors, cabling and installed components without requiring unrestricted access behind the enclosure.
This configuration is particularly useful for network, telecommunications and server installations where regular maintenance or cable changes are required. The glazed front door, removable side panels, cable-entry roof and integrated base/plinth further support organised installation and servicing, while the closed cabinet format enables climate control to be tailored directly to the enclosure.
