APC NetShelter SX 42U 600mm Wide Perforated Split Doors Black AR7100

The APC NetShelter SX 42U 600mm Wide Perforated Split Doors Black AR7100 are replacement server rack doors designed specifically for 42U enclosures with a width of 600mm. These black perforated split doors provide an effective way to upgrade existing server infrastructure, improve thermal management, and ensure secure physical access to rack-mounted hardware in data centers and IT environments.

Advantages

The perforated design of these doors promotes maximum airflow and ventilation, which helps prevent overheating and maintains optimal operating temperatures for sensitive network equipment and servers. The split-door configuration requires less clearance space in front of the rack during opening and maintenance, making them highly practical in confined spaces or tight server room layouts. Built with durability in mind, these doors integrate seamlessly into compatible APC NetShelter SX setups while offering reliable physical protection for housed hardware.

Suitable for

• Data centers requiring optimized airflow for high-density server racks
• IT rooms and server closets with 600mm wide 42U enclosures

These doors are not suitable for server racks with different heights, such as 24U or 48U, or racks with a width other than 600mm. They are also not designed for non-APC rack models or enclosures that require solid, non-perforated doors for acoustic isolation or strict containment setups.

How to use

Installation of the APC NetShelter SX perforated split doors involves removing the existing cabinet doors from a compatible 42U server rack and aligning the new split doors with the cabinet hinges. Secure the hinges according to the enclosure manufacturer guidelines to ensure smooth opening and closing operations. Regular inspection of the hinges and latch mechanisms helps maintain secure access and proper alignment during routine maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing server rack is an APC NetShelter SX model with a 42U height and 600mm width
• Assess your server room layout to ensure the 600mm split-door swing radius fits your aisle space
• Confirm whether perforated doors align with your facility cooling and ventilation strategy

Usage recommendations: Regularly check the door latches and hinges to ensure smooth operation, and keep the perforated mesh clean from dust accumulation to maintain unobstructed airflow and effective thermal management.
