APC by Schneider Electric Hyperpod Frame - Aisle Width Beam (X1) 4FT - FS-FM-2003-B

APC by Schneider Electric FS-FM-2003-B Hyperpod Frame Aisle Width Beam

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric FS-FM-2003-B is a 4-foot aisle width beam designed for use within the APC Hyperpod Frame containment and overhead infrastructure system. Sold as a single unit (1 pc), it provides one of the core structural members that spans the aisle dimension of a Hyperpod enclosure — setting the lateral geometry for overhead cable management, containment panels, or monitoring equipment mounts built on the Hyperpod platform. If you are sourcing replacement or expansion beams for an existing Hyperpod installation, the FS-FM-2003-B (often searched as FS FM 2003 B) is the correct 4-foot aisle-width variant.

Key Features

• 1366 mm (approximately 53.8 in) working height: matches the standard Hyperpod vertical dimension, so this beam slots into existing frame assemblies without shimming or custom adaptation.
• 77 mm wide × 72 mm deep profile: the compact cross-section keeps the structural footprint tight above the aisle, preserving headroom and unobstructed airflow paths in hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment layouts.
• Black powder finish: blends with standard black rack and containment infrastructure; no painting or finishing required on arrival.
• RoHS-compliant materials: meets European hazardous-substance restrictions, relevant for data center operators subject to WEEE/RoHS compliance reporting obligations.
• Single-unit pack (1 pc): order the exact quantity you need for staged expansions rather than committing to multi-pack minimums.
• 8 kg packaged weight: light enough for a single technician to handle and position during installation without lift equipment.

Integration & Compatibility

The FS-FM-2003-B is a component of the APC Hyperpod Frame modular overhead infrastructure system. Confirm your Hyperpod frame model and bay dimensions before ordering — Hyperpod frames are available in multiple aisle-width and row-length configurations, and beams are not interchangeable across incompatible frame generations. Cross-reference the APC Hyperpod Frame documentation for your specific model to verify that the 4-foot aisle-width beam is the correct variant for your installation bay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the FS-FM-2003-B used for?

A: It is a single aisle width beam (4 ft / 1366 mm) for the APC Hyperpod Frame modular overhead infrastructure system, providing a structural spanning member across the aisle dimension of a Hyperpod bay.

Q: How many beams come in a pack?

A: One (1 pc) per pack, allowing you to order the exact count needed for your installation.

Q: What is the packaged weight of the FS-FM-2003-B?

A: The packaged unit weighs 8 kg (approximately 17.6 lbs).

Q: Is the FS-FM-2003-B RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the product carries RoHS compliance certification.

Q: What is the warranty on the FS-FM-2003-B?

A: APC by Schneider Electric provides a 1-year manufacturer warranty on this product.

The FS-FM-2003-B is a purpose-specific structural component — not a general-use beam — so the detail that matters most before ordering is the 1366 mm height and 4-foot aisle-width designation. Those two dimensions lock it to a specific Hyperpod frame generation and bay size. Get those wrong and the beam will not land flush with the adjoining frame members.

Technical Highlights:

• 1366 mm height: this is the vertical span dimension, not an arbitrary length — it is sized to the Hyperpod frame's standard vertical geometry, so no field modification is needed for a correct-generation installation.
• 77 × 72 mm cross-section: slim enough that two parallel beams running aisle-width do not meaningfully reduce clearance for cable runs or containment curtain hardware mounted to the same frame.
• 8 kg packaged: one technician, no lift assist required — relevant when you are staging beams across a row of bays in a live data hall.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the Hyperpod frame model number before ordering — APC produces multiple Hyperpod variants with different aisle-width and row-depth configurations; beams are not universally cross-compatible.
• The 1 pc pack count means you control quantity precisely, but also means there is no bulk-pack discount built in — factor this into your BOM if you are fitting out a full row of Hyperpod bays at once.

Best fit for data center infrastructure teams expanding or replacing beam members in an existing APC Hyperpod Frame installation where the 4-foot aisle-width dimension has already been verified against the frame documentation.
