Why Choose the Rittal VX IT 5306.190 Network/Server Rack?
The Rittal VX IT 5306.190 is a 42 U network/server rack with glazed front door, supplied as an empty enclosure for individual configuration. With external dimensions of 800 mm wide × 2000 mm high × 600 mm deep, it provides a robust platform for professional server, network, telecommunications and data centre installations.
Unlike preconfigured VX IT variants, the 5306.190 is supplied without 482.6 mm (19") interior installation, allowing the internal mounting system to be selected and configured around the requirements of the application. Its closed enclosure design is intended for direct climate control tailored to the individual rack and can achieve a protection category of IP55 when used with sealing or screw-fastened side panels.
The enclosure combines a VX sheet steel frame with an aluminium glazed front door incorporating 3 mm single-pane safety glass and a solid one-piece sheet steel rear door. The enclosure frame, rear door and roof are finished in RAL 7035, while RAL 9005 details and silver-coloured vertical front-door sections provide the characteristic VX IT appearance.

Flexible Empty-Enclosure Platform for VX IT Infrastructure
The key advantage of the Rittal VX IT 5306.190 is its empty-enclosure configuration. Rather than supplying a predetermined 482.6 mm (19") mounting arrangement, the enclosure provides the VX IT platform for an interior installation tailored to the equipment, mounting position, cable-management strategy and climate-control requirements of the project.
Its closed construction is particularly suitable for installations requiring enclosure-specific climate control. The glazed front door allows visual inspection of installed equipment without opening the rack, while the solid rear door, roof and multi-piece gland plate arrangement support a structured enclosure solution for servers, networking hardware and associated infrastructure.
Typical Applications
- Custom-configured server and network rack installations.
- Data centres and dedicated server rooms.
- Telecommunications and structured network infrastructure.
- IT racks requiring direct enclosure-specific climate control.
- Industrial IT and edge computing installations.
- Projects requiring an empty 42 U VX IT enclosure for individual interior configuration.
