APC Rack AIR Containment Rear Assembly for Netshelter SX 42U 750MM Wide - ACCS1006

APC by Schneider Electric ACCS1006 Rack Air Containment Rear Assembly

Overview

The ACCS1006 is APC by Schneider Electric's rear air containment assembly designed specifically for APC by Schneider Electric NetShelter SX 42U enclosures with a 750mm width footprint. Hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment is one of the highest-ROI moves in a data center cooling strategy — sealing the rear of a rack stops hot exhaust from recirculating back into equipment intakes, which directly reduces the cooling load on your CRAC/CRAH units. If your facility runs precision cooling, this is the component that makes the airflow discipline work.

At 1911mm tall and 196mm deep, the ACCS1006 is sized to cover the full 42U usable height of the matching NetShelter SX cabinet. The black finish matches the standard NetShelter SX aesthetic, keeping your data center rack enclosures visually consistent across rows.

Key Features

• 42U Rear Coverage (1911mm height): Spans the full usable height of a NetShelter SX 42U cabinet — no partial coverage gaps that would let hot air bypass the containment barrier and contaminate cold aisles.
• 750mm Width Match: Engineered for the 750mm wide NetShelter SX footprint specifically. Attempting to fit this on a 600mm or 800mm variant will result in coverage gaps or mechanical interference — verify your cabinet width before ordering.
• 196mm Rear Depth: The shallow 196mm depth profile keeps the containment assembly from consuming meaningful floor space behind the rack row, important in tightly planned raised-floor environments.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, a procurement requirement for many enterprise and government facilities operating under sustainability mandates or WEEE frameworks.
• Black Finish: Matches the standard NetShelter SX cabinet color — relevant when rows are customer-visible (colocation, NOC floors) or when your facility standards require color-consistent infrastructure.

Integration and Compatibility

The ACCS1006 is designed for the NetShelter SX 42U 750mm wide rack enclosure family. It is not a universal containment kit — APC produces separate containment assemblies for 600mm wide and 800mm wide variants, as well as front-assembly counterparts. For a complete hot-aisle containment row, you will need both rear and front assemblies, plus overhead panel components depending on your row configuration. Verify your existing cabinet series and width before purchasing; mixing containment components across cabinet generations can produce alignment and sealing issues.

The HS code 85389099 classification covers electrical switchgear and panel parts, consistent with rack power and containment infrastructure used in network and power distribution environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which specific rack model is the ACCS1006 designed for?

A: The ACCS1006 is designed for the APC NetShelter SX 42U enclosure with a 750mm width. It is not compatible with 600mm or 800mm wide variants of the NetShelter SX, nor with other APC rack families.

Q: Does the ACCS1006 provide a complete hot-aisle containment solution on its own?

A: No. This is the rear assembly only. A complete row containment system requires front assemblies, overhead panels, and end-of-row doors or blanking panels. The ACCS1006 addresses the rear sealing component of a larger containment architecture.

Q: Is the ACCS1006 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The ACCS1006 carries RoHS compliance, meeting EU restrictions on hazardous substances — a common procurement requirement for enterprise and government data center projects.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the ACCS1006?

A: The assembly measures 1911mm tall, 750mm wide, and 196mm deep. Shipping package dimensions are 2032mm x 660mm x 152mm with a package weight of 33.4 kg.

Q: Can the ACCS1006 be used with non-APC racks from other manufacturers?

A: The ACCS1006 is engineered specifically for the APC NetShelter SX 42U 750mm cabinet and is not designed or validated for third-party rack enclosures. Fitment and sealing performance cannot be assured outside the intended cabinet family.

The ACCS1006 is a straightforward but precision-fit component — its 1911mm height is matched exactly to the NetShelter SX 42U usable rack space, and that specificity is intentional. Rear containment only works if the seal is continuous; a component that's even slightly undersized leaves bypass paths that defeat the airflow management you're trying to achieve. If you're speccing this for a new row build, confirm your cabinet series is NetShelter SX (not SV or VX) and that your cabinets are the 750mm wide variant before placing the order.

Technical Highlights:

• 1911mm Height / 42U Coverage: Full-height rear sealing with no gaps across the entire usable rack elevation — critical for containment effectiveness in high-density rows where even small bypass areas significantly degrade thermal separation.
• 750mm Width Specificity: Designed to the 750mm NetShelter SX footprint; the width match ensures the assembly seats flush against the cabinet's rear frame without shimming or improvised sealing.
• 196mm Depth Profile: Shallow enough that it won't conflict with cable management or brush strips on the rear of most standard raised-floor aisle configurations — though verify your hot-aisle clearance when planning row density.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is the rear assembly only — a complete hot-aisle containment row requires front assemblies, overhead canopy panels, and end-of-row closure doors. Budget and plan for the full system, not just this component.
• Package weight is 33.4 kg with a 2032mm shipping length — plan for two-person handling and verify freight elevator or loading dock access before scheduling delivery on raised-floor installations.

Best fit for NetShelter SX 42U 750mm row expansions in enterprise data centers or colocation deployments where hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment is already part of the facility's cooling architecture and you need a matched rear seal component to complete or extend the row.
