APC Netshelter SX Server Rack GEN 2 52U 2436H X 600W X 1200D MM with Sides - AR3308B2

APC by Schneider Electric AR3308B2 52U NetShelter SX Gen 2 Server Rack Enclosure

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AR3308B2 is a 52U, second-generation NetShelter SX server rack enclosure finished in white, measuring 600 mm wide by 1200 mm deep — a configuration suited to enterprise server rooms, data center rows, and IT closets where a full-height, standard-depth cabinet is required. Side panels are included, providing a closed cabinet form factor out of the box. If you are sourcing server rack enclosures for a structured equipment room buildout, this is the APC NetShelter SX variant to evaluate for full-height, side-panel-enclosed deployments.

Key Features

• 52U Rack Capacity: 52U of usable vertical space is one of the largest standard configurations available in the NetShelter SX line — appropriate for dense compute stacks, patch panels, and power distribution units in a single cabinet without requiring a second enclosure for overflow.
• 600 mm Wide × 1200 mm Deep Footprint: The 600 mm width is a standard data center column dimension, compatible with hot/cold aisle containment systems and raised-floor tile grids designed around that spacing. The 1200 mm depth accommodates deep 1U/2U servers without forced cable bend-radius compression at the rear.
• Integrated Cable Management: Built-in cable management provisions reduce post-installation remediation work — structured cabling from servers, patch panels, and PDUs can be routed and dressed during rack population rather than retrofitted later.
• Side Panels Included: The enclosed cabinet configuration (versus open-frame) provides a physical separation boundary between adjacent aisles or non-rack equipment zones — relevant for environments where a degree of physical access control per-cabinet is required without a full cage build-out.
• White Finish: The white colorway distinguishes this unit from the standard black NetShelter SX variants. Useful in environments where cabinet color codes zones or where white finish is a facilities requirement (clean rooms, certain healthcare IT rooms).
• RoHS Compliant: RoHS compliance confirms restricted substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.) are within EU directive limits — a procurement requirement for many government, healthcare, and international enterprise projects.

Integration & Compatibility

The AR3308B2 follows standard 19-inch EIA-310 rack rail spacing, accepting any EIA-compliant 1U–52U equipment. It is compatible with the broader APC by Schneider Electric ecosystem including NetShelter-series blanking panels, PDUs, cable management accessories, and side-panel extensions. For high-density deployments, pair with a rack PDU and structured cable management accessories to maximize usable space within the 52U column. When planning power delivery to equipment housed in this enclosure, review your rack PDU selection guide to match outlet count and amperage to your specific load.
