DK5516.790 Rittal Network/server enclosure IT WHD: 800x2200x1200mm 47 U IP 55
Rittal DK 5516.790 is an 800 x 2,200 x 1,200 mm 47 U TS IT network and server enclosure with IP55 protection, a glazed aluminium front door and an empty interior for individual 19-inch configuration.
Why Choose the Rittal DK 5516.790 TS IT Network/Server Enclosure?
The Rittal DK 5516.790 is a high-capacity, sealed TS IT network and server enclosure designed for the protected installation of servers, networking equipment and other IT infrastructure. With a nominal 47 U capacity and IP55 protection, this deep enclosure is particularly suited to demanding installations requiring direct enclosure-specific climate control and enhanced protection against adverse ambient conditions.
The DK 5516.790 is supplied as an empty enclosure without 482.6 mm (19") interior installation, giving system designers and IT infrastructure specialists extensive freedom to configure the internal mounting arrangement for their application. Integral system punchings on a 25 mm DIN pitch pattern and multiple recessed mounting levels provide a versatile foundation for compatible Rittal installation components.
With dimensions of 800 mm wide × 2,200 mm high × 1,200 mm deep, the enclosure combines 47 U nominal capacity with generous depth for large servers, storage equipment, cabling and power distribution. A glazed aluminium front door, solid sheet steel rear door, solid roof and multi-piece solid gland plate support the sealed design, with IP55 protection to IEC 60529 when used with a baying seal or screw-fastened side panels.
