APC by Schneider Electric Hyperpod Frame - 4FT Aisle END Panel (X2) Short Frame - FS-FM-4005-B

APC by Schneider Electric FS-FM-4005-B Hyperpod 4FT Aisle End Panel Short Frame (Black, X2)

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric FS-FM-4005-B is a short-frame aisle end panel designed for use with APC's Hyperpod hot/cold aisle containment system in data center environments. Sold as a pair (X2), these panels seal the end openings of a 4-foot containment aisle, preventing warm exhaust air from recirculating into cold air intakes — a direct contributor to cooling efficiency and PUE improvement. If you're running open-row cooling or in-row cooling infrastructure and your containment aisle currently has unsealed ends, airflow bypass is actively undermining your cooling investment.

The FS-FM-4005-B (often searched as FS FM 4005 B) stands 1,370mm tall with a 40mm profile width and 517mm depth, fitting the short-frame Hyperpod configuration specifically. The black finish matches standard APC rack and containment aesthetics. RoHS compliance confirms the panels meet European hazardous substance restrictions, relevant for installations subject to environmental compliance requirements.

Key Features

• Short-Frame Height (1,370mm): Engineered to match the short Hyperpod frame variant — do not attempt to use these panels with the tall-frame configuration, as the height will not span the full aisle opening and will leave gaps that defeat containment.
• Pair Configuration (X2): Two panels are included per order, covering both ends of a single aisle run. Factor this into your BOM — a single order addresses one complete aisle.
• Compact 40mm Width Profile: The 40mm panel edge keeps the containment footprint tight against adjacent racks, minimizing dead space at aisle terminations.
• 517mm Depth: Matches the standard Hyperpod aisle depth, ensuring flush closure without shimming or field modification.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive — relevant for installations in regulated environments or facilities with environmental procurement mandates.
• Black Finish: Consistent with APC rack and containment system aesthetics; blends with NetShelter and Hyperpod system components without color mismatch.

Integration and Compatibility

The FS-FM-4005-B is part of the APC Hyperpod containment ecosystem. Confirm your Hyperpod frame is the short (4FT) variant before ordering — APC offers both short and tall frame configurations, and end panels are not interchangeable between frame heights. Consult your APC by Schneider Electric Hyperpod configuration documentation to verify frame type and required panel count for your data center containment layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What frame height is the FS-FM-4005-B compatible with?

A: The FS-FM-4005-B is designed for the APC Hyperpod short (4FT) frame configuration, standing 1,370mm tall. It is not interchangeable with tall-frame Hyperpod end panels.

Q: How many panels are included in one order of the FS-FM-4005-B?

A: Two panels (X2) are included per order, sufficient to seal both ends of one aisle.

Q: Is the FS-FM-4005-B RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FS-FM-4005-B carries RoHS compliance certification, confirming it meets EU hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What color is the FS-FM-4005-B?

A: Black, consistent with standard APC rack and Hyperpod containment system components.

Q: What are the panel dimensions?

A: The FS-FM-4005-B panels measure 40mm wide × 517mm deep × 1,370mm tall.

The FS-FM-4005-B end panels are a containment completion component — the piece that closes the loop on your aisle isolation investment. At 1,370mm tall and 40mm wide, these short-frame Hyperpod panels are dimensionally specific: if your frame is the tall variant, these won't reach, and unsealed ends will allow warm air recirculation that partially negates your row cooling performance gains.

Technical Highlights:

• 1,370mm Panel Height: Matched to the APC Hyperpod short (4FT) frame — fills the full end opening on that specific frame variant without field cutting or shimming.
• X2 Pair Included: Both aisle ends are covered by a single SKU order, simplifying procurement and BOM management for single-aisle deployments.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets EU hazardous substance restrictions — important for facilities with environmental or government procurement requirements where compliance documentation is required at the component level.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify your Hyperpod frame variant before ordering — short-frame and tall-frame end panels are not interchangeable. A frame height mismatch will leave a gap at the top of the aisle, defeating containment effectiveness.
• Package dimensions (100mm W × 613mm D × 1,440mm H) indicate flat-panel shipping; confirm receiving dock clearance for the 1,440mm package length before scheduling delivery in constrained facilities.

The FS-FM-4005-B is the right call for data center operators completing a short-frame Hyperpod containment deployment where aisle ends are currently open — specifically in colocation and enterprise machine rooms where measurable PUE improvement from proper hot/cold aisle containment is a facility operations objective.
