Vertiv VR Rack Accessory | Pass-Through Side Panel for 48U Racks (1200 mm) – VRA6032

The Vertiv VR Rack Accessory Pass-Through Side Panel, model VRA6032, is a purpose-built solution designed to streamline cable routing in 48U rack environments while preserving airflow and thermal separation. Built to fit 48U Vertiv racks and extending to a generous 1200 mm length, this pass-through panel replaces standard side panels to create a dedicated channel for cable runs between adjacent racks. With brush strips included for tidy cable management, the VRA6032 helps data centers stay organized, scalable, and more energy-efficient by maintaining proper ventilation and reducing hot spots. Whether you’re expanding a growing rack stack or reorganizing legacy cabinets, this pass-through side panel delivers a clean, professional look and reliable performance in demanding IT environments.

• Efficient cabling between racks: The VRA6032 creates a dedicated pass-through pathway that simplifies cable management when expanding or interconnecting multiple racks. Cable routing is streamlined, reducing clutter and the risk of snagging or kinks during maintenance or changes.
• Thermally separated design: By maintaining clear separation between hot and cold air streams, this pass-through side panel helps preserve optimal airflow within the rack enclosure. This design minimizes potential thermal interference and supports more predictable cooling performance across the cabinet row.
• 40/48U compatibility with a 1200 mm length: Specifically engineered for 48U Vertiv racks, the VRA6032 measures 1200 mm to cover the depth and provide ample space for cable bundles without crowding the rear of the cabinet. This sizing makes it ideal for longer cable runs, fiber patches, and power distribution connections.
• Brush strips included for a clean finish: Brush strips help control airflow, prevent dust ingress, and keep the cabling path tidy. The included brushes create a polished appearance while preserving effective separation and airflow dynamics inside and between cabinets.
• Simple replacement for existing panels: The VRA6032 is designed to swap into standard side-panel positions, enabling quick upgrades without extensive modification. This makes it a practical add-on for upgrades, retrofits, or reconfigurations in busy data-center environments.

how to install Vertiv VR Rack Accessory

• Power down or schedule a maintenance window if you are installing the pass-through side panel on an active rack to avoid disruption.
• Remove the existing side panel from the 48U Vertiv rack where you plan to install the VRA6032.
• Align the VRA6032 with the rack mounting points, ensuring the pass-through opening is positioned to align with your cable routing plan.
• Secure the side panel using the standard mounting hardware provided by Vertiv, tightening fasteners evenly to avoid warping and to maintain a clean seal around the panel edges.
• Attach the included brush strips along the interior edge of the pass-through opening to create a neat, dust-limiting channel for cables, and then route cables through the panel as needed to connect to adjacent racks or devices.
• Close the cabinet doors and perform a functional check. Verify that airflow remains unobstructed by cables and that cabling runs do not interfere with doors or hinges.

Frequently asked questions

• What racks does the Vertiv VR Rack Accessory VRA6032 fit? It is designed for 48U Vertiv racks and provides a pass-through side panel option to enhance cable routing and thermal separation within those cabinets.
• Does the VRA6032 require special tools to install? Typically no specialized tools are required beyond standard rack mounting hardware. Use the included brush strips and existing rack screws to attach the panel securely.
• What problem does a pass-through side panel solve? It simplifies complex cabling layouts by allowing cables to move between racks without compromising airflow. It also helps reduce clutter and makes future migrations or expansions easier.
• Will this panel affect cooling performance? When installed correctly, the pass-through design preserves airflow channels and, with the brush strips, minimizes dust infiltration, supporting efficient cooling across a rack row.
• Is the VRA6032 compatible with all 48U racks? It is designed for Vertiv 48U cabinets. For mixed environments or non-Vertiv racks, verify compatibility with your specific chassis and mounting footprint before installation.
