New Cabinet Floor Entry KDR-BES-U

It is ideal for individual installations on the control cabinet, IT cabinet or the machine wall. The KDR-BES-U system is now available with a brush depth of 50 mm and complements the existing 35 mm version. Both variants can be installed in Rittal VX25 (the new Rittal cabinet) control cabinets with a clamping profile of 2.5 - 3 mm. Due to the innovative and universal clamping profile, the cable pass-through can be mounted at 90° angles even with beveled metal sheets. The cabinet floor entry is suitable for sheet thickness 1.5 - 2 mm or 2.5 - 3 mm.

The brush can be taken out of the aluminum profile at any time and changed to any other installation position. The KDR-BES-U brush strip can be adapted to almost all standard floor plates from various control cabinet manufacturers. Thus, the new cabinet floor entry is also compatible with the latest control cabinets, such as the Rittal VX25. The floor plates included in the delivery from any control cabinet manufacturer do not need to be replaced, but are used to mount the KDR-BES-U brush strips. The KDR-BES-U will impress with its very simple, fast and tool-free installation. The installation can we varied by by the user at any time. Custom lengths are available up to 1500 mm.
