APC by Schneider Electric FS-RF-2007-U Hyperpod 4FT Aisle Containment Roof Panel
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric FS-RF-2007-U is a 300mm-wide simple roof panel designed for Hyperpod hot/cold aisle containment systems in data center and server room deployments. At 1,446mm deep and just 15mm in profile height, it spans a standard 4-foot aisle segment to form the overhead barrier that keeps hot exhaust air separated from cold supply air — the foundational principle behind any effective aisle containment strategy. If your data center is running mixed-airflow cooling and you're losing efficiency to recirculation, this is the component that closes the ceiling gap in a Hyperpod containment row.
The panel ships in black, integrates into APC's Hyperpod containment infrastructure line, and carries UL, cUL, and CE certifications — which matters in facilities where the electrical inspector or the FM Global underwriter wants to see listed components on the containment structure. For more on how aisle containment fits into broader cooling architecture, the data center cooling category covers complementary components including blanking panels, containment doors, and overhead infrastructure.
Key Features
- 300mm width, 1,446mm depth: Sized to cover a standard 4-foot aisle span at 300mm across — verify your row width matches before ordering; mismatched panel widths leave gaps that defeat the containment purpose.
- 15mm panel height: Near-flat profile keeps the overhead assembly compact, which matters in facilities with limited ceiling clearance above the containment structure.
- UL, cUL, and CE certified: Listed under three certification bodies, so the panel satisfies both US/Canadian electrical inspection requirements and European conformity standards. Useful when facility compliance documentation needs to reference listed materials.
- Black finish: Matches standard rack and containment hardware aesthetics in server rack enclosure environments — no finish mismatch in mixed-brand rows.
- 1-year manufacturer warranty: APC covers the FS-RF-2007-U for one year from purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What aisle containment system is the FS-RF-2007-U designed for?
A: The FS-RF-2007-U is designed for APC's Hyperpod aisle containment system. Confirm your existing Hyperpod row configuration matches the 300mm panel width before ordering.
Q: What certifications does the FS-RF-2007-U carry?
A: The panel is certified to UL, cUL, and CE standards — covering US, Canadian, and European compliance requirements.
Q: What is the warranty on the FS-RF-2007-U?
A: APC provides a 1-year manufacturer warranty on the FS-RF-2007-U.
Q: What are the physical dimensions of the FS-RF-2007-U?
A: The panel measures 300mm wide × 1,446mm deep × 15mm in height (profile thickness). Package dimensions are 1,510mm × 325mm × 37mm, with a package weight of 2.5 kg.
Q: Can this panel be used with non-APC containment systems?
A: The FS-RF-2007-U is engineered for the APC Hyperpod system. Compatibility with third-party containment structures is not documented in manufacturer evidence — verify dimensional and mounting compatibility with your system before purchasing.
The FS-RF-2007-U is a straightforward panel — 300mm wide, 1,446mm deep, 15mm profile — but the spec that matters most in the field is that 300mm width. Hyperpod containment rows are width-specific; ordering the wrong panel width is the most common installation mistake I see on containment builds, and it means going back for a replacement before the row is commissioned.
Technical Highlights:
- 300mm × 1,446mm footprint: Covers a full 4-foot aisle segment at the standard Hyperpod 300mm width — one panel per bay, no cutting or field modification required when the row is correctly planned.
- UL/cUL/CE triple certification: All three marks on a single component simplifies the compliance documentation package for facilities that need to satisfy both North American and European authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) sign-off on containment structures.
- 15mm profile: The near-zero vertical footprint means the panel adds essentially no height to the containment assembly — important in facilities where overhead clearance above the containment structure is tight or where sprinkler head clearance calculations are already at the margin.
Deployment Considerations:
- Measure your aisle width and confirm the Hyperpod row is spec'd for 300mm panels before ordering — APC offers multiple widths in the Hyperpod roof family and mixing widths in a single row creates gaps.
- Package weight is 2.5 kg at 1,510mm long — lightweight enough for a single installer, but the length requires care in confined data center aisles during installation.
Best fit for Hyperpod-based hot/cold aisle containment builds in enterprise or colocation data centers where the row is already dimensioned to the 300mm roof panel standard and compliance documentation listing UL/cUL/CE components is a facility requirement.
