Rack rail Rittal 5501.400

The Rittal 5501.400 rack rail is a pair of steel mounting rails designed to secure equipment inside server and network racks. Finished in silver, each rail provides a 150 mm mounting depth and a compact solution for mounting switches, patch panels, small servers or other 19-inch compatible devices. The set of two rails offers stable support while maintaining a low overall weight, suitable for standard server cabinets and enclosures.

Advantages

Constructed from durable steel with a corrosion-resistant silver finish, the rails deliver reliable load-bearing capacity and long-term dimensional stability. Supplied as a matched pair, they simplify installation and alignment of 19-inch equipment. The modest weight and standard depth make these rails compatible with a wide range of rack systems and reduce strain during handling and installation.

How to use

Install the two rails inside a compatible 19-inch rack or cabinet at the desired mounting height, aligning them with the cabinet’s front and rear mounting points. Secure each rail using appropriate rack fasteners or screws compatible with the cabinet’s thread pattern. Once installed and aligned, mount equipment by sliding or securing devices to the rails according to the device manufacturer’s mounting instructions. Verify that all fasteners are tightened and that the load is evenly distributed across both rails before powering equipment.

Recommendations

Ensure the chosen cabinet or rack provides sufficient clearance and rear support for devices with 150 mm mounting depth. Use the correct fasteners and torque settings for the cabinet type, and consider additional support brackets for heavier equipment to maintain stability and safety.
