Rack plate Rittal SZ 2564.300, plastic housing, light grey, 534×149 mm

Rittal SZ 2564.300 is a rack plate made from light grey plastic, sized 534 × 149 mm and weighing approximately 700 g. Designed for installation in electrical and IT enclosures and racks, the plate provides a lightweight, non-conductive mounting surface for fastening components, accessories and small terminal blocks. Supplied as a single piece, it fits typical rack and cabinet mounting arrangements and allows straightforward mechanical fixing of equipment where a plastic surface is preferred.

Advantages

The plastic construction ensures electrical insulation and reduces weight compared with metal plates while resisting corrosion. The smooth, light-grey surface offers a neutral background for cable routing and component mounting. Its dimensions provide a compact mounting area that can be trimmed or drilled where required, and the single-piece supply simplifies inventory and installation.

How to use

Position the rack plate inside the enclosure or on the rack mounting surface and secure it with appropriate fasteners compatible with the cabinet design. Where required, mark and create fixation points by drilling or punching according to the component mounting pattern. Install components using self-tapping screws, standoffs or insulated fixings to maintain the non-conductive characteristics. For cable entry through the plate, pierce the plastic carefully with a sharp tool and route cables through the resulting opening, then secure wiring with cable ties or clamps to ensure strain relief.

Recommendations

Use fasteners and installation hardware rated for the enclosure environment and avoid exposing the plate to solvents or high temperatures that could deform the plastic. When creating cable entries, make clean holes sized for the cable or use grommets to protect insulation. Regularly inspect mounted components and fixings for proper torque and secure attachment.
