APC by Schneider Electric Netshelter AV 42U 825MM Deep Split Side Panels - AR7306

APC by Schneider Electric AR7306 NetShelter AV 42U Split Side Panels

Overview

The AR7306 delivers replacement or supplemental split side panels designed for the APC NetShelter AV 42U rack enclosure family with an 825mm depth. If you've expanded a NetShelter AV row, added an adjacent enclosure, or need to replace damaged side panels on an existing 42U cabinet, these panels restore proper airflow containment and physical security to the enclosure without requiring a full cabinet replacement. Finished in black, the AR7306 matches the standard NetShelter AV aesthetic — useful when cabinets are customer-facing or in organized data center rows where visual consistency matters.

Key Features

• 42U, 825mm Depth Compatibility: Sized specifically for the NetShelter AV 42U platform at 825mm depth. Fitting the wrong depth panels is a common procurement error — confirm your cabinet depth before ordering. These will not fit 600mm or 1070mm depth variants of the NetShelter line.
• Split Panel Design: The split construction means you can remove one half for side access without lifting or unracking an entire panel — practical when cables or power distribution units run along the side rail and you need periodic access without a full teardown.
• Panel Dimensions — 721mm W × 832mm H × 13mm D: At 13mm depth the panels add minimal footprint to the enclosure's external envelope. The 832mm height covers the full usable side of a 42U frame. Verify your row spacing if cabinets are installed in a tight hot-aisle/cold-aisle layout.
• Black Finish: Matches standard APC NetShelter AV enclosure colorway. Relevant when side panels are visible to end customers, auditors, or in glass-door server room configurations where uniformity is expected.
• Package Weight 15.9 kg: At just under 35 lbs for the packaged pair, a single technician can handle installation without a lift assist. Plan for standard freight delivery — these ship as a box, not a pallet, under normal conditions.

Integration & Compatibility

The AR7306 is designed for the APC by Schneider Electric NetShelter AV product family. Confirm your enclosure is the 42U, 825mm deep variant before ordering — NetShelter AV is also available in different depths and U heights that use different panel part numbers. If you are building out a rack enclosure row from scratch, cross-reference the NetShelter AV cabinet SKU against APC's accessory compatibility list to ensure panel fitment. For data centers or wiring closets also evaluating power and UPS infrastructure, APC's NetShelter line integrates directly with their PDU and UPS ecosystem — side panel selection should be confirmed alongside the full enclosure build. For guidance on planning physical infrastructure alongside network and security deployments, see the network infrastructure planning guide.
