Why Choose the Rittal VX8617.501 Internal Baying Block?
The Rittal VX8617.501 is a robust internal baying block designed for securely joining compatible Rittal VX and VX IT enclosures at the baying joint. As part of the Rittal VX baying system, it supports flexible positioning and all-round installation, making it a practical solution for constructing professional multi-enclosure suites in industrial control, automation and IT applications.
Manufactured from durable die-cast zinc, the VX8617.501 is designed to provide a strong and dependable mechanical connection between adjacent enclosures. Side mounting creates a flush surface relative to the enclosure extrusion, allowing the available installation space to be used efficiently and helping to prevent collisions with installed equipment.
