APC by Schneider Electric Hyperpod Roof - Roof Filler Panel SET 4FT Aisle - FS-RF-1003-B

APC by Schneider Electric FS-RF-1003-B Hyperpod Roof Filler Panel — 4FT Aisle Set

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric FS-RF-1003-B is a roof filler panel designed specifically for Hyperpod aisle containment systems where an unsealed overhead gap undermines the airflow separation your hot-aisle/cold-aisle architecture depends on. At 1,607 mm deep and 110 mm wide, this black panel fills the roof-level void above a 4-foot aisle bay, preventing conditioned air from mixing with hot exhaust air at the ceiling plane. If you've commissioned a Hyperpod containment enclosure and left roof sections open, you're bleeding cooling efficiency — this is the component that closes that gap.

Key Features

• Purpose-built 4FT aisle coverage: The 1,607 mm depth of the FS-RF-1003-B is matched to a standard 4-foot aisle bay. Using a generic cut panel risks gaps at the edges; this set is dimensioned for a flush, repeatable fit without field modification.
• Compact 110 mm width: The 110 mm panel width is sized to index into Hyperpod roof track slots. Narrow width means the set covers the overhead gap incrementally — you install as many panels as aisle bays require, rather than cutting or overlapping sheet material.
• Low-profile 100 mm height: At 100 mm tall, the panel sits within the containment roof structure without protruding into overhead cable trays or conflicting with top-of-rack PDU accessories. That matters in dense rows where vertical clearance above the containment roof is limited.
• Black finish: The black finish blends with standard Hyperpod containment framing and aisle doors, giving the completed installation a consistent, professional appearance rather than the mismatched look of aftermarket sheet metal patches.
• RoHS-compliant construction: RoHS compliance means no restricted hazardous substances in the panel materials — relevant if your data center operates under EU WEEE disposal requirements or if your enterprise has a blanket RoHS mandate across all installed infrastructure.
• Ready-to-ship panel set: Packaged at 130 × 1,607 × 120 mm, the set ships flat without requiring special freight handling. The packaging depth matches the panel depth, so nothing extends beyond the carton — straightforward to stage and carry to the aisle location.

Integration & Compatibility

The FS-RF-1003-B is designed for the APC Hyperpod containment system — specifically the roof section of a 4-foot aisle bay. Before ordering, confirm your aisle bay width matches the 1,607 mm panel depth. Hyperpod aisle containment deployments with 600 mm or 1,200 mm bay configurations use different panel sets; installing the wrong depth leaves a gap or requires trimming that voids fit assurance. For broader APC by Schneider Electric data center infrastructure accessories and containment components, verify compatibility against the Hyperpod system documentation for your specific row configuration.

This filler panel integrates into data center containment accessories and is typically deployed alongside aisle end doors, roof panels, and rack-to-rack blanking panels to complete an air containment strategy. If your power and UPS infrastructure generates significant heat at the rack top, ensuring the roof plane is fully sealed at every bay is critical — a single open bay can short-circuit airflow across the entire aisle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What aisle bay size is the FS-RF-1003-B designed for?

A: The FS-RF-1003-B is designed for a 4-foot aisle bay. Its 1,607 mm depth is matched to that bay dimension. Confirm your aisle bay depth before ordering — Hyperpod uses different panel sets for other bay configurations.

Q: Is the FS-RF-1003-B RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FS-RF-1003-B carries RoHS compliance certification, meaning it meets EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements. This is relevant for enterprise environments with blanket RoHS mandates or facilities subject to EU WEEE disposal regulations.

Q: What are the panel dimensions?

A: The panel measures 110 mm wide × 1,607 mm deep × 100 mm tall. Packaged dimensions are 130 mm × 1,607 mm × 120 mm.

Q: Can this panel be used with non-APC containment systems?

A: The FS-RF-1003-B is engineered for the APC Hyperpod containment system. Its dimensions and mounting design are specific to Hyperpod roof track slots. Use with third-party containment systems is not supported by the manufacturer and may not produce a sealed fit.

Q: What is the HS code for the FS-RF-1003-B?

A: The Harmonized System code for the FS-RF-1003-B is 85389099, used for electrical apparatus parts classification in international shipping and customs documentation.

James Everett

The FS-RF-1003-B is a straightforward component with a non-negotiable function: at 1,607 mm deep and 100 mm tall, it seals the roof plane of a 4-foot Hyperpod aisle bay. In contained-aisle data center designs, the roof is where hot and cold air want to mix if you give them the opportunity — and a single unsealed bay section is enough to short-circuit the pressure differential the rest of your containment investment is working to maintain.

Technical Highlights:

• 1,607 mm panel depth: Dimensioned to match the 4-foot Hyperpod bay exactly — no field cutting, no edge gaps. Consistent bay-to-bay installation is faster and produces a repeatable seal across the row.
• 100 mm panel height: Low enough to clear overhead cable trays and top-of-rack accessories in dense rows where vertical clearance above the containment roof is constrained. This is the spec to check against your as-built drawings before install.
• RoHS compliance: Meets EU hazardous substance restrictions — relevant for facilities operating under EU WEEE disposal mandates or enterprise-wide RoHS procurement policies.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify your Hyperpod aisle bay depth is 4 feet before ordering. The 1,607 mm depth is fixed — there is no field-adjustable variant in this part number, and ordering the wrong depth for your row leaves a gap that defeats the containment purpose entirely.
• The panel width is 110 mm — this is a filler set, not a full-width bay cover. Confirm the number of sets required per aisle bay against the Hyperpod roof track slot count for your specific row configuration before placing a quantity order.

Best fit: Hyperpod aisle containment builds in enterprise or colocation data centers where the roof plane has open bay gaps remaining after initial row commissioning, and where RoHS-compliant materials are a procurement requirement.
