FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Rittal VX 8619.803?
Its primary purpose is to provide an organized and protected entry point for cables and connectors into a 1200mm wide switchgear cabinet.
What does the IP55 rating mean?
An IP55 rating indicates that the enclosure entry is protected against dust ingress (sufficient to be safe) and protected against water jets from any direction. It is not protected against complete immersion.
Can I use any type of cable gland with this plate?
The plate features dedicated cutouts, and you should use cable glands or connector feedthroughs that are designed to fit these openings. The size and type will depend on your specific cabling requirements and desired sealing.
How many cable entries does this plate offer?
The plate features six dedicated cutouts for cable glands and connector feedthroughs.
What material is the cable entry plate made of?
It is made of durable galvanized steel.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
While it offers IP55 protection, which is suitable for many environments, prolonged direct exposure to harsh weather conditions without additional protection may affect the galvanized steel over time. Always consider the specific environmental factors.
Does this plate come with cable glands?
No, this product is the cable entry plate itself. Cable glands and connector feedthroughs need to be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty fitting cable glands
Ensure the cable glands are of the correct size and type compatible with the cutout dimensions. Verify that no debris is obstructing the opening.
Reduced IP rating after installation
Re-check the tightness of all cable glands and connector feedthroughs. Ensure all seals are properly seated and that no wires are protruding unnecessarily.
Plate does not align with cabinet base
Confirm that the cabinet width is indeed 1200mm and that the correct mounting points on the cabinet base frame are being used. Check for any obstructions on the cabinet frame.
