VX IT5302.001 Rittal VX IT Air Baffle Plate, WxH: 800X1200, Dy
Rittal VX IT 5302.001 air baffle plate for 800 mm wide and 1200 mm deep VX IT enclosures with a 19-inch dynamic mounting system, designed to support effective separation of cold supply air and warm exhaust air.
Why Choose the Rittal VX IT 5302.001 Air Baffle Plate?
The Rittal VX IT 5302.001 is an air baffle plate designed for Rittal VX IT enclosures with a 19-inch dynamic mounting system. It supports effective thermal management by separating the cold-air supply area from the warm-air exhaust area around installed servers, network equipment and other active IT components.
Designed for compatible VX IT enclosures measuring 800 mm wide × 1200 mm deep, the air baffle plate closes lateral spaces between the 19-inch mounting level and the enclosure sides. This helps reduce unwanted bypass airflow and recirculation, encouraging conditioned air to travel through installed equipment before entering the warm-air zone.
The VX IT 5302.001 is particularly useful in data centres and server rooms where controlled airflow is essential for efficient rack cooling. Its design complements the VX IT platform and helps create a structured airflow path for installations using front-to-rear cooled IT equipment.
Key Advantages
- Purpose-designed air baffle plate for Rittal VX IT enclosures.
- Suitable for 19-inch dynamic mounting systems.
- Designed for compatible enclosures measuring 800 mm wide × 1200 mm deep.
- Helps separate cold supply air from warm exhaust air inside the enclosure.
- Reduces unwanted recirculation of heated exhaust air.
- Helps minimise cooling-air bypass around installed IT equipment.
- Supports efficient front-to-rear airflow through servers and network equipment.
- Well suited to professional data centre and server room cooling strategies.
Key Features
- Rittal VX IT airflow management accessory.
- Designed for the 19-inch dynamic mounting configuration.
- 800 mm suitable enclosure width.
- 1200 mm suitable enclosure depth.
- Designed to close lateral airflow paths around the 19-inch mounting level.
- Supports separation of cold-air and warm-air zones.
- Helps direct conditioned air through active IT equipment.
- Suitable for professional server, networking and data centre installations.
Controlled Airflow for Efficient VX IT Rack Cooling
In server and network racks, uncontrolled gaps around the 19-inch equipment plane can allow cooled air to bypass active equipment or permit warm exhaust air to circulate back towards equipment air intakes. The Rittal VX IT 5302.001 helps close these lateral airflow paths, supporting more effective separation between the cold and warm areas of the rack.
This airflow management approach is particularly valuable in higher-density IT environments and installations using hot-aisle or cold-aisle concepts. Used alongside suitable blanking panels, containment and cooling equipment, the air baffle plate can contribute to more predictable rack temperatures and more efficient use of available cooling capacity.
Typical Applications
- Rittal VX IT server enclosures with 19-inch dynamic mounting systems.
- Data centre server and network racks.
- Hot-aisle and cold-aisle installations.
- Climate-controlled server rooms.
- High-density IT equipment installations.
- Network and telecommunications infrastructure.
- Rack installations requiring improved separation of supply and exhaust airflow.
