DK5509.790 Rittal Network/server enclosure IT WHD: 800x2000x1000mm 42 U IP 55
Rittal DK 5509.790 is an 800 x 2,000 x 1,000 mm 42 U TS IT network and server enclosure with IP55 protection, a glazed aluminium front door and an empty interior for individual 19-inch rack configuration.
Why Choose the Rittal DK 5509.790 TS IT Network/Server Enclosure?
The Rittal DK 5509.790 is a sealed TS IT network and server enclosure designed for the protected installation of servers, networking equipment and other IT infrastructure with direct enclosure-specific climate control. Offering a nominal 42 U capacity within an 800 mm wide × 2,000 mm high × 1,000 mm deep enclosure, it provides substantial space for individually configured professional IT installations.
Unlike pre-configured rack variants, the DK 5509.790 is supplied as an empty enclosure without 482.6 mm (19") interior installation. This allows system designers, panel builders and IT infrastructure specialists to select and position the required mounting equipment according to the application. Integral system punchings on a 25 mm DIN pitch pattern provide extensive options for installing compatible Rittal interior components.
The enclosure features a glazed aluminium front door with 3 mm single-pane safety glass and a solid sheet steel rear door, providing equipment visibility together with a sealed enclosure concept. A one-piece solid roof plate and multi-piece solid gland plate complete the protected design, with IP55 protection to IEC 60529 achieved when the enclosure is used with the appropriate baying seal or screw-fastened side panels.

Protected and Configurable 42 U IT Infrastructure
The Rittal TS IT platform provides a robust foundation for professional server, network and communications infrastructure.

The sealed doors, solid roof and multi-piece solid gland plate support protected equipment installation and direct enclosure-specific climate control. Automatic potential equalisation of enclosure panels and provision for earthing straps assist with professional electrical integration, while the bayable frame construction allows multiple enclosures to be combined when larger server, network or communications systems are required.
