Finished in black and engineered for compatibility with Rittal rack systems, this plinth cover provides a rigid barrier against dust and debris at the lower section of the cabinet. Its compact dimensions and lightweight construction make it easy to handle during installation and service.

Advantages

Key specifications

How to use

Position the plinth cover at the base of the Rittal rack so that it aligns with the plinth opening and attachment points. Secure the cover following the rack manufacturer’s recommended mounting procedure, using the provided or compatible fasteners. Ensure the cabinet is stable and supported during fitting. After installation, check for even contact along the base and adjust as needed to maintain a continuous seal against dust ingress.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, install the plinth cover on racks located in indoor environments and perform periodic inspections to remove accumulated dust. Avoid exposure to corrosive chemicals and maintain the finish by wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Use genuine Rittal-compatible mounting hardware to ensure secure attachment and alignment.
