Why Choose the Rittal VX8618.822 EMC Gland Plate?
The Rittal VX8618.822 is a specialist EMC gland plate for Rittal VX enclosures, designed to provide effective cable shield contacting and secure cable fastening for electromagnetic compatibility applications. Suitable for shielded cables with a maximum diameter of 20 mm, it creates a low-resistance electrical connection between the cable shield and the gland plate.
Designed for 1000 mm wide VX enclosures, the VX8618.822 can be used with enclosure depths of 400 mm, 500 mm, 600 mm and 800 mm in conjunction with the standard gland plates. The combined EMC contacting and cable retention arrangement helps simplify shield termination while providing a mechanically secure cable entry solution.
Manufactured from robust zinc-plated sheet steel, the VX8618.822 is supplied as a complete assembly comprising one gland plate with T-head punching, one sliding gland plate and two EMC seals. The product is intended for one enclosure half, allowing EMC cable entry to be integrated into compatible VX installations without requiring a completely separate cable management system.
