APC Netshelter Aisle Containment Roof Height Adapter 300 MM for 42U SX to 42U - ACDC2500

APC by Schneider Electric ACDC2500 Aisle Containment Roof Height Adapter

Overview

The ACDC2500 is a 300mm roof height adapter designed to resolve vertical alignment gaps between adjacent 42U NetShelter SX enclosures in hot aisle or cold aisle containment deployments. When two enclosures of the same nominal rack height sit at slightly different elevations — due to uneven raised flooring, leveling feet variation, or mixed-row configurations — the containment roof panels cannot seal flush. This adapter bridges that gap, maintaining the thermal barrier that makes containment effective. Without a properly sealed roof plane, bypass airflow defeats the efficiency gains you built the containment system to deliver. The ACDC2500 addresses that specific failure point at the enclosure-to-enclosure junction.

Compatibility

Designed for use with APC by Schneider Electric NetShelter SX 42U enclosures in aisle containment configurations. Compatible with APC's NetShelter SX series (42U) when paired with NetShelter Aisle Containment roof and end-of-row panel systems. Verify the specific containment row kit part numbers in your APC containment BOM — the ACDC2500 is a height-adjustment component within that system, not a standalone containment solution. If your row includes 45U or 48U enclosures, confirm adapter compatibility against the APC data center infrastructure configurator or your containment row documentation before ordering.

Installation Notes

This adapter ships in black to match standard NetShelter SX enclosure finishes. Install as part of the roof panel assembly at the inter-rack junction where the height differential occurs. Confirm enclosure leveling and floor tile alignment before finalizing roof adapter placement — correcting the underlying elevation variance reduces the adapter gap required and improves long-term seal integrity. Consult the APC NetShelter Aisle Containment rack accessories installation guide for torque specifications and panel sequencing relevant to your containment row configuration.
