FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Rittal VX 8618.801 cable entry profile?
Its primary purpose is to provide a structured and protected pathway for routing cables into an 800mm wide Rittal VX enclosure, ensuring optimal cable management and preventing damage from sharp bends.
What does the IP55 rating signify?
The IP55 rating means the profile is protected against dust ingress (sufficient to prevent harmful accumulation) and protected against low-pressure jets of water from any direction.
Can this cable entry profile be used with cabinets of different widths?
No, this profile is specifically designed for 800mm wide Rittal VX cabinets. Using it with other widths may result in improper fit or compromised sealing.
What material is the cable entry profile made from?
It is manufactured from die-cast aluminum with PU foam sealing.
How many cable entry profiles are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 2 units of the cable entry profile.
Does this profile help in preventing cable strain?
Yes, by enabling optimal routing and integration with cable catch rails, it helps to manage cables effectively and minimize strain, especially by avoiding increased bend radii.
How do I clean the cable entry profile?
Clean it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the aluminum or the PU foam sealing.
Troubleshooting
Profile does not fit 800mm cabinet width
Verify that the cabinet is indeed an 800mm wide Rittal VX model. This profile is specifically designed for this dimension and may not fit other widths or brands.
Cables are difficult to route
Ensure cables are not too bulky for the profile. Consider using smaller gauge cables or routing them individually. Check that cable catch rails are correctly positioned and not obstructing the path.
PU foam seal appears damaged
Contact Rittal support or your supplier for a replacement part. Damaged seals can compromise the IP55 rating.
Profile feels loose after installation
Re-check the attachment points to the base plate and ensure they are securely fastened. Do not overtighten, which could damage the mounting threads.
