DK5302.051 Rittal CABLE DUCT, VERTICAL, FOR IT, 38 U 38 U FOR H: 1800 MM

Why Choose the Rittal DK 5302.051 Vertical Cable Duct?

The Rittal DK 5302.051 is a professional 38 U vertical cable duct designed for concealed and organised cable routing within Rittal IT infrastructure enclosures. Developed for VX IT, TX CableNet and Data Rack systems, it provides high-density vertical cable management while keeping power and data cabling readily accessible for installation, maintenance and system changes.

The cable duct features covers that are hinged on both sides and removable, allowing convenient access to installed cabling without dismantling the cable management system. Cable entry is possible towards the enclosure interior and through the rear of the duct, while supplied cable retaining bars can be positioned at variable depths on the cable fingers to support different cable volumes and routing arrangements.

With a capacity of 38 U and a cable duct height of approximately 1699 mm, the DK 5302.051 is suitable for compatible VX IT enclosures up to 1800 mm high. The duct combines durable sheet steel construction with UL 94-HB plastic components and a RAL 9005 black finish, making it an integrated cable management solution for professional network, server and data centre installations.

High-Density Vertical Cable Management for IT Infrastructure

Efficient cable management is essential in network and server enclosures where large quantities of copper, fibre and power cabling must be routed without obstructing equipment access or airflow. The Rittal DK 5302.051 provides a dedicated vertical routing space that keeps cables organised while helping maintain a clean and serviceable rack installation.

The variable-depth cable retaining bars can be snapped onto the cable fingers to support different cable bundle sizes, while the removable hinged covers maintain accessibility after installation. The duct may also serve as a partitioning component to help prevent air short circuits in cold aisle containment applications and can be combined with the VX IT brush kit for improved airflow management.

Typical Applications

• Rittal VX IT network and server enclosures.
• Rittal TX CableNet and Data Rack installations.
• Data centre server and network infrastructure.
• High-density structured cabling systems.
• Vertical routing of network, fibre and power cables.
• Cold aisle containment and airflow management applications.
