APC Netshelter Aisle Containment Door Header for 42U SX - ACDC2401

APC by Schneider Electric ACDC2401 NetShelter Aisle Containment Door Header for 42U SX Racks

Overview

The ACDC2401 is a door header component for APC NetShelter SX aisle containment systems in 42U configurations. Aisle containment is a proven datacenter airflow management strategy: by sealing the hot or cold aisle, you force air through equipment rather than letting it mix freely, which translates directly into measurable reductions in cooling load and, consequently, energy cost. This header completes the top of the containment door assembly, closing the gap between the door frame and the overhead structure. At 235 mm wide and 85 mm tall, it is dimensioned specifically for the NetShelter SX 42U footprint — this is not a universal component, and fit depends on matching the correct rack family and row configuration before ordering.

Key Features

• 42U-Specific Fit: Designed for the NetShelter SX 42U rack line. Specifying the correct rack U-count and series at procurement prevents costly returns — confirm your existing row is NetShelter SX before ordering the ACDC2401.
• Compact Header Profile (235 mm × 85 mm): The narrow 85 mm height keeps the header low-profile above the door opening, minimizing interference with overhead cable trays or structural elements common in raised-floor datacenters.
• Maximum Depth Clearance up to 146.7 cm: The 146.7 cm maximum depth accommodation supports deeper rack configurations, which is relevant if your NetShelter SX rows are populated with high-density servers or storage arrays that push rack depth toward the upper limit.
• Black Finish: Matches standard NetShelter SX black powder-coat, keeping aisle aesthetics consistent across mixed containment hardware deployments.
• RoHS and REACH Compliant: Both RoHS and REACH compliance are increasingly required for datacenter procurement in the EU and for enterprise sustainability reporting. Having these certifications on record simplifies compliance documentation at audit time.
• HS Code 85389099: The declared Harmonized System code supports accurate import classification for international procurement teams, reducing customs clearance friction.

Integration & Compatibility

The ACDC2401 is designed for integration within APC's NetShelter aisle containment ecosystem. Aisle containment deployments typically combine door assemblies, roof panels, blanking panels, and header components — this unit addresses the header position specifically. Verify the full containment bill of materials against your row length and rack model before finalizing the order. The 23 kg package weight (packaged dimensions: 245 mm × 1504 mm × 290 mm) reflects the elongated profile of the header; plan for appropriate handling equipment during installation in populated datacenters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rack series is the ACDC2401 compatible with?

A: The ACDC2401 is designed for APC NetShelter SX 42U rack configurations. It is not a universal aisle containment component — confirm your rack series is NetShelter SX and that the row is 42U before ordering.

Q: What compliance certifications does the ACDC2401 carry?

A: The ACDC2401 is RoHS and REACH compliant, supporting EU procurement and enterprise sustainability documentation requirements.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the ACDC2401 header?

A: The header measures 235 mm wide × 85 mm tall, with a maximum depth of 146.7 cm. Packaged dimensions are 245 mm × 1504 mm × 290 mm; packaged weight is 23 kg.

Q: Is the ACDC2401 a complete aisle containment solution?

A: No. The ACDC2401 is a door header component within APC's broader NetShelter aisle containment system. A complete deployment requires door assemblies, roof panels, and additional containment components matched to your row configuration.

Q: What is the finish color of the ACDC2401?

A: Black, matching the standard NetShelter SX powder-coat finish for visual consistency in contained aisle deployments.
