APC by Schneider Electric Hyperpod Roof - 4FT Aisle Drop Roof Panel 750MM - FS-RF-3009-U

APC by Schneider Electric FS-RF-3009-U Hyperpod 4FT Aisle Drop Roof Panel 750MM

Overview

The FS-RF-3009-U is a 750mm (4-foot) aisle drop roof panel designed for APC Hyperpod hot- and cold-aisle containment systems. At 740mm wide × 1065mm deep and just 15mm thick, it installs flush with adjacent panels to form a continuous overhead barrier — the structural element that actually makes aisle containment work by preventing hot and cold air from mixing above the rack rows. Finish is black, consistent with Hyperpod system aesthetics. For integrators building out data center aisle containment infrastructure, this panel fills the overhead span between rows so the rest of the thermal management investment delivers its designed efficiency gains.

Key Features

• 740mm × 1065mm Panel Footprint (FS-RF-3009-U): the 740mm width fits standard 750mm Hyperpod roof frame openings with minimal gap, while the 1065mm depth spans the aisle overhead clearance — meaning no field trimming required for standard row configurations.
• 15mm Profile: the slim panel height keeps the containment ceiling tight to the frame rails, reducing air bypass at panel edges that would undermine containment efficiency.
• Black Finish: matches APC Hyperpod system framing, maintaining a uniform appearance in raised-floor and hot-aisle environments where mixed hardware colors create audit and maintenance confusion.
• UL, cUL, and CE Certification: all three marks on a single panel means the containment system clears North American and European compliance requirements without sourcing alternate panels for international deployments — one SKU covers both regions.
• 4 kg Shipping Weight: lightweight enough for a single installer to handle overhead without lift equipment during routine rack additions or reconfigurations.

Integration & Compatibility

The FS-RF-3009-U (often searched as FS RF 3009 U) is engineered for the APC by Schneider Electric Hyperpod aisle containment system. Verify your Hyperpod frame rail spacing and roof module grid dimensions against the 740mm × 1065mm panel footprint before ordering — mixing 600mm and 750mm Hyperpod frame variants with this panel will result in fit issues. For full containment row builds, pair with compatible Hyperpod end caps, door assemblies, and ceiling tiles from the same product family. Consult the data center containment accessories catalog for complementary components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the exact panel dimensions for the FS-RF-3009-U?

A: The panel measures 740mm wide × 1065mm deep × 15mm high. Shipping package dimensions are 1090mm × 775mm × 37mm at 4 kg.

Q: What certifications does the FS-RF-3009-U carry?

A: The FS-RF-3009-U is certified to UL, cUL, and CE standards, covering North American and European compliance requirements.

Q: What is the warranty on the FS-RF-3009-U?

A: APC provides a 1-year manufacturer warranty on the FS-RF-3009-U.

Q: Is this panel compatible with all APC Hyperpod aisle containment frames?

A: The FS-RF-3009-U is designed for 750mm Hyperpod roof frame configurations. Verify your frame's rail spacing matches the 740mm panel width before ordering — 600mm Hyperpod variants require different panel SKUs.

Q: Can one person install this panel overhead?

A: At 4 kg shipping weight (panel itself is lighter), a single installer can handle overhead placement without lift equipment in most standard rack row configurations.

Eden Phillips

The FS-RF-3009-U is the panel I spec when a 750mm Hyperpod frame grid needs to close out the overhead aisle span — specifically because its 740mm × 1065mm footprint is sized to drop into the standard Hyperpod roof module opening without field modification, which matters on deployments where you're commissioning multiple rows under a tight maintenance window.

Technical Highlights:

• 15mm Panel Height: minimizing the air gap at the frame rail interface is where containment efficiency is won or lost — a thicker panel that doesn't seat flush defeats the thermal separation the entire system is designed to deliver.
• UL + cUL + CE on One SKU: for enterprise customers with data centers in both North America and Europe, a single certified panel SKU simplifies procurement and facilities compliance documentation considerably.
• 4 kg Shipping Weight: light enough for overhead installation without staging lift equipment — relevant on live-floor deployments where bringing in a scissor lift means scheduling around rack access windows.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your Hyperpod frame is the 750mm variant before ordering — APC's 600mm frame series uses different panel dimensions, and the 740mm width of this panel will not fit correctly.
• The 15mm height means any accessories or cable routing above the containment ceiling needs to clear the panel plane; plan overhead cable tray and PDU routing before installing the roof panels to avoid teardown.

The FS-RF-3009-U fits specifically in 750mm Hyperpod row builds where the overhead containment ceiling is being completed in phases — it's the right call for facilities teams adding containment to existing raised-floor rows without a full system retrofit.
