Product Information

Full details

This Rittal VX cable router is designed for professionals managing cables in industrial, office, or home environments, offering a robust solution for organized and safe cable management. Its key benefit lies in simplifying cable routing directly to mounting plates, minimizing bending radii and improving enclosure aesthetics. A potential caveat is its specific mounting design, which requires floor plate attachment for optimal use. This pack includes four aluminium router pieces.

Can this router be used with enclosures from other brands?

While designed for Rittal VX enclosures, its basic function as a cable guide might allow for adaptation, but compatibility is not guaranteed and best suited for Rittal systems.

Where is this component typically mounted?

Troubleshooting

Router not securely attached

Ensure appropriate fasteners are used and tightened correctly for floor plate mounting.

Cables are difficult to route

Verify that the cable entry point aligns properly with the router and mounting plate. Ensure no sharp bends are being forced.

Reduced sealing effectiveness

Check that cables are properly seated within the router and that any associated gland plate seals are intact and correctly installed.
