Written by Rittal | Sep 25, 2025 11:17:28 PM

In an era of data-intensive applications and rapid digital transformation, IT infrastructure must balance performance, scalability, and ease of management. The Rittal FR IT Rack is engineered to deliver on all three fronts, offering a high-capacity, flexible enclosure platform suitable for data centres and edge applications across Australia and New Zealand.

Built for Strength and Flexibility

At its core, the FR IT Rack offers a static load capacity of up to 1500 kg, ensuring stability for dense server installations and UPS systems. With adjustable mounting angles, it provides the flexibility needed for diverse hardware configurations, essential for modern, high-density setups.

Advanced Airflow Design

Effective thermal management starts with design. The FR IT Rack features single vented front doors and vertically split vented rear doors, both equipped with high-density hexagonal mesh providing a 75% vented surface area. This promotes efficient airflow, helping reduce cooling costs and prolonging equipment life.

Economical and Inclusive

A key advantage of the FR IT Rack is that it’s an economical and inclusive solution that reduces both capital and operational expenses. Whether used in large-scale data centres or phased computer room builds in sectors like finance, it delivers long-term value through efficient deployment, lower cooling requirements, and simplified maintenance.

Smart Features for Modern Operations

Rittal understands that installation time and serviceability are critical.

Key design details include:

  • Doors that swing open 130° for convenient access.
  • Tool-free, lockable side panels for secure yet rapid maintenance.
  • Integrated vertical and horizontal cable management options to keep installations organised and accessible.

As data volumes continue to surge, the need for robust, flexible IT infrastructure grows. The FR IT Rack offers the strength, scalability, and modern engineering features required to future-proof your IT environments, whether in a core data centre or a distributed edge installation.
