Vertiv VR Rack 42U 800mm Wide Networking Enclosure

The Vertiv VR Rack 42U 800mm Wide Networking Enclosure (VR3105) is an open-frame-style welded steel rack enclosure engineered specifically for high-density networking deployments. The 800mm internal width accommodates the wider footprint of modern top-of-rack and aggregation switches from vendors such as Arista and Cisco, providing clearance for side-cable-exit switch chassis, wide patch panels, and high-density fiber management trays without the lateral constraints of standard 600mm enclosures. The frame is constructed from cold-rolled steel with a durable powder-coat finish and ships fully assembled, eliminating on-site build time in production data center environments.

The VR3105 features a 42U usable rack unit capacity and is designed around a 19-inch EIA-310 mounting rail standard, with adjustable front and rear mounting rails that accommodate varying equipment depths. Four-post mounting support allows independent front and rear rail positioning to match shallow patch panels alongside deep switch chassis in the same enclosure. Integrated cable management provisions, baying hardware compatibility, and knock-out ports in the top and bottom panels support structured cabling practices required in structured spine-leaf and campus-core network fabrics.

Targeted at enterprise data centers, colocation deployments, and network operations environments, the VR3105 is particularly well suited to high cable-density switching fabrics where airflow management, physical cable routing, and equipment accessibility are operational priorities. The enclosure is compatible with the broader Vertiv VR accessory ecosystem, including blanking panels, side panels, roof fan units, and power distribution units, enabling a fully configured, standards-compliant rack build appropriate for Tier II through Tier IV data center environments.

Ideal for

• High-density Arista 7050/7060 series top-of-rack switch deployments requiring 800mm internal width for side-exit cabling
• Cisco Nexus aggregation and spine switch installations in spine-leaf fabric architectures where wider chassis and rear cable management are required
• Structured fiber and copper patch field builds in colocation data halls needing consistent 42U, 800mm-width enclosure standardization
• Network operations center (NOC) and campus-core distribution layer buildouts consolidating patch panels, media converters, and managed switches in a single enclosure
• Enterprise data center refresh projects standardizing on Vertiv VR rack ecosystems for accessory and PDU interoperability across multiple bays
• Edge and satellite data center networking rooms where a fully assembled, immediately deployable 42U enclosure reduces installation labor
