APC by Schneider Electric Door and Frame Assembly VX to VX - ACDC1021

APC by Schneider Electric ACDC1021 Door and Frame Assembly VX to VX

Overview

The ACDC1021 is a replacement and expansion door-and-frame assembly designed specifically for APC's VX-series rack enclosures. At 1994 mm tall and 870 mm wide, this assembly matches the full height and footprint of the VX rack line — making it the correct choice when you need to replace a damaged frame, add a door to an open-frame VX cabinet, or complete a rack build that shipped without a front or rear door panel. The black finish aligns with standard data center and network room aesthetics.

Key Features

• VX-Series Frame Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the APC VX rack family. Retrofitting a generic door onto a VX enclosure risks alignment gaps and compromised airflow seals — this assembly eliminates that risk by matching the original mounting geometry exactly.
• Full-Height Coverage (1994 mm): At just under 2 meters tall, this frame covers standard 42U-equivalent VX enclosures end to end. No partial-height gaps that compromise dust ingress or physical access control.
• 870 mm Width Profile: Matches the standard VX rack width, ensuring the door swings and latches without binding against adjacent cabinets in tight row deployments.
• UL and cUL Listed: Meets both US and Canadian safety standards — relevant when the installation is subject to facilities inspection or when insurance underwriters require listed enclosure components.
• RoHS Compliant: Hazardous-substance restrictions met, which matters for deployments in regions with strict environmental compliance requirements or for enterprise procurement teams with RoHS mandates.
• Black Finish: Consistent with standard APC VX rack colorways — no mismatched panels in customer-facing or inspection-visible installations.

Integration & Compatibility

The ACDC1021 is designed for the APC VX rack enclosure series. Before ordering, verify the exact VX model number of your enclosure — APC produces several VX frame variants with differing depths and widths. The 870 mm width and 1994 mm height are the qualifying fit dimensions. The 70 mm depth of the assembly itself is the door/frame stack depth, not the enclosure depth. Pair this with the appropriate rack enclosure accessories (side panels, blanking plates, cable management) to complete the build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rack series is the ACDC1021 compatible with?

A: The ACDC1021 is designed for APC VX-series rack enclosures. Verify your enclosure model's width (870 mm) and height (1994 mm) before ordering to confirm fit.

Q: Is the ACDC1021 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The ACDC1021 carries RoHS compliance, meeting EU and equivalent hazardous-substance restrictions.

A: Evidence confirms the ACDC1021 is available in black only.

James Everett

The ACDC1021 is a straightforward but easy-to-get-wrong purchase — the 870 mm width and 1994 mm height must match your specific VX enclosure variant exactly, or the door will not seat correctly. I've seen integrators order a door assembly based on the VX family name alone and end up with a misaligned latch. Pull the enclosure's model number before you order.

Technical Highlights:

• UL/cUL Listing: Both US and Canadian safety marks are on this assembly — relevant if you're installing in a mixed-jurisdiction enterprise campus or if the building inspector requires listed enclosure components throughout the server room.
• RoHS Compliance: Covered for EU and equivalent procurement mandates. If your company runs a restricted-substance policy across all IT infrastructure purchases, the ACDC1021 checks that box without exceptions.
• 140.9 kg Packaged Weight: This ships freight, not parcel. At 140.9 kg packaged, you need a loading dock or lift gate arranged before the truck arrives — this is not a two-day-shipping doorstep delivery.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm VX enclosure model width and height against the 870 mm × 1994 mm frame spec before placing the order — VX variants exist and not all share the same footprint.
• Package dimensions run 2083 mm tall — verify door clearance in your freight elevator and server room entry before scheduling delivery.

Best fit for a facilities or IT team completing a VX rack buildout or replacing a damaged door on an existing APC VX enclosure in a data center or network operations center environment.
