Why Choose the Rittal VX IT 5315.818 Dynamic Network/Server Rack?
The Rittal VX IT 5315.818 is a professional vented 47 U network and server rack featuring dynamic 482.6 mm (19-inch) mounting angles for flexible equipment installation. Designed for room-level climate control, it provides a robust infrastructure platform for servers, storage systems, network hardware and telecommunications equipment in demanding data centre environments.
With dimensions of 600 mm wide × 2200 mm high × 1200 mm deep, the enclosure combines a compact 600 mm footprint with substantial depth for modern server hardware, cabling and power distribution. Dynamic 19-inch mounting angles are installed at the front and rear, with a factory-set distance of 725 mm between the mounting levels and depth-variable positioning for adaptable rack configuration.
The VX IT 5315.818 incorporates a vented aluminium/sheet-steel front door and vertically divided vented sheet-steel rear door, each providing approximately 85% perforated surface area for effective front-to-rear airflow. A substantial 18,000 N load capacity, multi-piece cable-entry roof and RAL 7035 enclosure finish make it well suited to high-density professional IT infrastructure.

Dynamic 19-Inch Mounting with High-Performance Airflow
The dynamic mounting system is a key feature of the Rittal VX IT 5315.818. Its depth-variable front and rear 19-inch mounting angles allow the internal equipment levels to be adapted to different server, network and infrastructure requirements, providing greater flexibility when configuring the enclosure for changing hardware platforms.
Thermal management is supported by highly perforated front and rear doors that promote efficient front-to-rear airflow when the rack is used with suitable room climate control. Combined with the generous 1200 mm depth and 18,000 N load capacity, the enclosure provides the space and structural strength needed for densely populated server, storage and network installations.
