Vertiv VR 48UX1200 Split Side Panels - VRA6012

Vertiv VRA6012 48U Split Side Panels for VR Series Racks

Overview

The Vertiv VRA6012 delivers factory-matched side enclosure panels for the VR open-frame rack series in the 48U x 1200mm depth configuration. If you're building out or completing a VR rack enclosure, these panels close off the sides with RoHS-compliant metal construction — sold as a matched pair so both sides are covered in a single order. They're the correct accessory when your rack depth is 1200mm and your unit height is 48U; choosing the wrong depth variant means the panels won't seat flush against the frame, so verify your rack depth before ordering.

For the 48U x 1100mm depth variant, Vertiv offers the VRA6011 in the Vertiv VR accessories line. For 42U configurations at 1200mm depth, the VRA6010 is the matching part. The rack accessories category covers the full range of Vertiv VR enclosure components including top panels, bottom panels, rail conversion kits, and caster kits if you're building a complete enclosure from open-frame up.

Key Features

• 48U x 1200mm fit: Dimensioned specifically for the VR rack series at 1200mm depth and 48U height — critical because VR side panels are not interchangeable across depth variants. Using the wrong depth model leaves gaps at the front or rear of the frame.
• Sold as a pair (2 pcs): Both left and right panels ship together in a single SKU, eliminating the need to order separately and ensuring panel finish consistency across both sides of the enclosure.
• Metal construction: Steel panel body provides structural rigidity and supports cable management or accessory mounting against the side wall without flex or rattle under vibration — relevant in raised-floor data center environments with active cooling airflow.
• RoHS compliant: Meets EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements, which matters for deployments in EU-regulated facilities or where corporate environmental compliance tracking is required.
• Black finish: Matches the standard VR rack frame color, maintaining visual consistency in mixed-vendor rows where aesthetic uniformity is a facility management requirement.
• Compatible with the VR accessory ecosystem: Pairs directly with VR series rack enclosure components including top panels (VRA6019/VRA6020), bottom panels (VRA6038/VRA6040), and pass-through side panel alternatives (VRA6032) if airflow through the side wall is preferred over solid enclosure.

Integration & Compatibility

The VRA6012 is designed exclusively for the Vertiv VR open-frame rack platform at the 48U x 1200mm depth configuration. If you're using a different Vertiv rack family (e.g., VR 600mm-wide variants or non-VR series), these panels will not fit. The split-panel design means installation does not require removing rack-mounted equipment — each panel half mounts independently, which matters when retrofitting panels onto a populated rack. Pair with the VRA6020 top panel (800mm x 1200mm) and VRA6040 bottom panel (800mm x 1200mm) to complete a fully enclosed 48U footprint. For data center environments where airflow through the side is preferable, Vertiv offers the VRA6032 pass-through side panel as an alternative to this solid panel at the same 48U x 1200mm dimension.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rack series is the VRA6012 compatible with?

A: The VRA6012 is designed for the Vertiv VR open-frame rack series in the 48U x 1200mm depth configuration. It is not cross-compatible with other Vertiv rack families or non-VR series frames.

Q: How many panels are included with the VRA6012?

A: The VRA6012 ships as a pack of 2 panels — one for each side of the rack enclosure.

Q: What is the difference between the VRA6012 and VRA6011?

A: The VRA6011 fits 48U racks with 1100mm depth; the VRA6012 fits 48U racks with 1200mm depth. Verify your rack depth before ordering — the panels are not interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the VRA6012 and the VRA6032?

A: The VRA6032 is a pass-through side panel for 48U x 1200mm VR racks, allowing airflow through the side wall. The VRA6012 is a solid panel that fully encloses the side. Choose based on your airflow management strategy.

Q: Is the VRA6012 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the VRA6012 carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements.

Q: What is the shipping weight of the VRA6012?

A: The packaged weight of the VRA6012 is 24.9 kg for the pair.
