The cable finger DK 5302046 from Rittal is an accessory for the 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) mounting plane, specifically designed for the VX IT 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) profile rail dynamic. It serves structured cable routing and enables organized cable installation in 1 U steps. The product is made of plastic that meets the requirements of UL 94-V0 standard and consists of halogen-free PA6, ensuring high flame resistance and environmental compatibility. The color is RAL 9005, a dark gray tone, which integrates well into standardized IT and electrical installations.
Cable routing in 1 U steps
The cable finger is designed for precise and clear cable routing. It covers a height of 6 U, corresponding to a vertical extension of 261 mm. The width is 25 mm, making it suitable for use in narrow mounting areas. Cable routing takes place directly on the 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) mounting plane, with positioning in 1 U steps to enable flexible and modular arrangement.
Mounting and installation
Mounting is tool-free, achieved by direct snapping into the 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) profile rail. This allows for quick and secure fastening without additional mounting aids. Installation options include both front and side mounting on the profile rails at the front and rear, enabling flexible placement within the rack. The design ensures secure snapping into the rail without tools, providing stable holding.
Material and safety
The material consists of halogen-free PA6 plastic, meeting the UL 94-V0 flame resistance class. This standard guarantees high self-extinguishing properties and reduces smoke development in case of fire, which is particularly important in IT and electrical installations. The use of halogen-free material also reduces toxic by-products and meets modern requirements for safety and environmental compatibility.
Combination with air baffle plates
Cable routing can be combined with air baffle plates. This allows simultaneous optimization of airflow within the rack and cable structuring. Integration with air baffle plates supports the thermal efficiency of the system by improving airflow for device cooling without impairing cable routing.
Applications
The cable finger is designed for use in IT and electrical installations, particularly in racks with 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) mounting planes. It is suitable for all applications requiring organized and structured cable routing to enhance maintainability and clarity of the installation. The tool-free mounting and modular arrangement in 1 U steps make it especially suitable for systems subject to frequent changes or expansions.
Compatibility and accessories
The cable finger is specifically developed for the VX IT 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) profile rail dynamic. It is not intended for other rail types. Combination with air baffle plates is possible, with exact mounting instructions available in the manufacturer's datasheet.
Operational advantages
Structured cable routing improves clarity and maintainability of the installation. Tool-free mounting reduces installation effort and enables quick adjustments. The use of halogen-free material and the UL 94-V0 standard increase operational safety. Combination with air baffle plates supports the thermal efficiency of the system, which is particularly beneficial in densely populated racks.
