APC NetShelter SX 42U 600mm wide perforated split doors, black is a freestanding server rack enclosure designed to house servers, networking equipment and telecommunications hardware in data centers, server rooms and network closets. The cabinet features a 42U mounting height, a 600 mm usable width and perforated split front doors that promote airflow while allowing staggered access for equipment installation and maintenance. Constructed for standard 19-inch rack-mount components, the enclosure supports cable management and ventilation requirements common to small and medium IT installations. The product weight is approximately 9.55 kg.

Advantages

The perforated split doors increase front-to-rear ventilation and help maintain airflow for heat dissipation without requiring additional fans. A 42U frame provides ample vertical space for server blades, switches, patch panels and power distribution units while keeping equipment organized and accessible. The 600 mm width accommodates a broad range of rack-mounted devices and accessories, and the split-door design allows partial door removal or opening for targeted access during installation or maintenance. The cabinet is compatible with standard rack accessories and supports tidy cable routing and equipment mounting.

How to use

Position the APC NetShelter SX on a level surface and verify clearance for airflow and cable entries. Install 19-inch rack-mount rails and adjust them to match the depth of your equipment. Secure equipment starting from the bottom of the cabinet for stability, and use cable management accessories to route power and network cabling through the rear and side openings. Use the split front doors to access only the section you need during installation or maintenance, reducing disruption to remaining equipment.

Usage recommendations

Place the cabinet in a well-ventilated area and maintain recommended clearances at the front and rear for optimal passive airflow. Combine the perforated doors with appropriate rear ventilation or cooling solutions when populating the rack with high-density or high-power equipment. Add compatible rack accessories—shelves, cable managers and PDUs—as needed to support safe and organized operation.
