Rittal CP 6505.500 Steel cover plate for support-arm connection, black/silver

Rittal CP 6505.500 steel cover plate is designed for neat and durable closure of support‑arm connections with a Ø130 mm interface. Finished in a two‑tone black and silver appearance, the plate provides a protective and visually consistent feed‑through for mounting points on electrical enclosures, control consoles and various industrial assemblies where a tidy support‑arm penetration is required.

Advantages

The steel construction delivers mechanical strength and corrosion resistance suited to industrial environments. The black/silver finish offers a neutral, professional appearance that integrates with standard cabinet and console designs. The Ø130 mm interface ensures compatibility with common support‑arm systems, while the plate’s design conceals mounting hardware to create a clean external surface.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This cover plate is intended for applications with a Ø130 mm support‑arm interface; it may not fit systems with different diameters or non‑standard mounting geometries. It is a passive enclosure component and does not provide electrical insulation, sealing against high pressure or full weatherproofing unless used in conjunction with appropriate gaskets or additional sealing solutions.

Key specifications

How to use

Position the cover plate over the support‑arm interface so the Ø130 mm opening aligns with the arm or conduit. Secure the plate to the cabinet or console using the existing mounting points or fasteners compatible with the plate’s hole pattern. If environmental sealing is required, apply an appropriate gasket or sealant between the plate and the mounting surface before tightening fasteners. Verify that the cover does not obstruct arm movement and that mounting hardware is tightened to prevent loosening in service.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For best results, install the cover plate on a flat, clean mounting surface and use compatible fasteners. When used in outdoor or corrosive environments, pair the plate with suitable gaskets and corrosion‑resistant fixings. Periodically inspect the plate and fasteners for integrity and retighten if necessary.
