Overview

The nVent ProLine PPB168 is a 100mm high plinth base designed for 600x800mm enclosures. Constructed from durable 16-gauge (1.5 mm) steel with a textured black polyester powder paint finish (RAL 9005), this plinth base elevates your enclosure to provide essential space for cable entry and management from below. The ProLine G2 plinth bases feature four access panels, offering flexible cable management options. Sturdy cast aluminum corner supports ensure superior load-bearing capacity. Installation hardware is included for straightforward mounting. This plinth base is stackable up to 400mm in height when used with the optional Plinth Base Stacking Kit (not included). To maintain a NEMA Type 12 environmental rating, a gland plate must also be used in the base of the enclosure. Ideal for manufacturing facilities, data centers, and power distribution systems, the PPB168 enhances accessibility and organization for critical infrastructure.
