This insert rail from Vertiv is a 19-inch accessory specifically designed for installation in 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) enclosures and housings. It serves to securely mount devices in rack format and enables flexible installation through both snap-in and screw-fastening options. The rail is supplied in pairs and includes mounting hardware, allowing installation into existing enclosure structures without additional tools or components. The design is intended for use in enclosure rows, where the rails can be screwed from the inside to ensure a stable connection between adjacent enclosures. Height adjustment allows adaptation to different chassis heights, increasing compatibility with various devices.

Insert rail is the central component of this product, used in 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack systems for mounting IT and network equipment. The rail is made of steel sheet with a thickness of 2.0 mm and features a galvanized surface with a blue chromated finish. This coating provides corrosion protection and ensures long-term durability, especially in environments with high humidity or industrial loads. The maximum load capacity is 1000 Newtons, with the load required to be evenly distributed across the rail to ensure load-bearing capability. This specification refers to static loading under normal operating conditions.

Snap-in design enables quick and easy installation, allowing mounting without tools or additional fastening elements. For applications with higher loads or for permanent, stable fixation, the rail can additionally be screwed in place. The screwing is done from the inside, which is particularly advantageous when used in enclosure rows, as it allows for a mechanical connection between adjacent enclosures. Height adjustment enables adaptation to different chassis heights, increasing flexibility when mounting various devices.

48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) enclosure and 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) housing are the typical environments for this insert rail. The rail is designed for use in standard rack systems commonly found in data centers, server rooms, and IT infrastructures. Compliance with the 19-inch standard ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices manufactured to this standard. The insert depth t of the enclosure or housing must be considered when selecting the rail to ensure correct installation and functionality. The rail is designed for a maximum depth of 665 mm, enabling use in deep enclosures.

Typical applications include mounting network switches, servers, patch panels, and other IT components in rack systems. The rail provides stable fixation, protecting devices from vibrations and mechanical stress. The combination of snap-in and screw-fastening mounting allows flexible adaptation to different requirements, with the screwed version recommended for higher loads. The rail is supplied in pairs, with mounting hardware included. Installation requires a total of 4 pieces of 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) profiles to mount the rails into the enclosure.

Steel sheet with a thickness of 2.0 mm forms the base of the rail, ensuring high mechanical stability. The galvanized surface with blue chromated finish provides additional corrosion protection and ensures long service life. The rail is suitable for indoor use as well as in environments with high humidity, as the coating protects against oxidation and corrosion. The maximum load capacity of 1000 N is achieved with even load distribution, enabling use in standard IT environments. The rail is not designed for dynamic or impact loads, but for static loads under normal operating conditions.

Mounting hardware is included in the delivery scope and comprises the necessary screws and fastening elements for installation. The rails are supplied in pairs, enabling installation in a single enclosure or housing. Installation is performed by snapping the rails into the designated profiles, with additional screwing recommended for higher loads. Height adjustment is achieved by mechanically adjusting the rail position to ensure the correct height for the device to be mounted. The rail is not designed for use in explosive or extreme environments, as no special protection ratings such as IP or Ex are specified.

In summary, the Vertiv insert rail offers a robust and flexible solution for mounting IT equipment in 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack systems. The combination of snap-in and screw-fastening mounting, height adjustment, and high load capacity makes it a universally applicable accessory. The use of steel sheet with galvanized, blue chromated surface ensures long service life and resistance to corrosion. Compliance with the 19-inch standard ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices and systems.
