APC by Schneider Electric AR7214 NetShelter AV 825mm Solid Roof Panel
Overview
The AR7214 is a solid roof panel designed for APC NetShelter AV 600W open-frame rack enclosures with an 825mm depth profile. At 13mm tall and 648mm wide, it fits flush across the top of the enclosure frame — providing a clean, enclosed top surface that keeps dust out of rack-mounted equipment without obstructing airflow from side or rear paths. If you are building out a NetShelter AV rack in a server room, AV closet, or network equipment cabinet and need a finished top rather than an open frame, the AR7214 is the specific roof accessory for the 825mm depth variant.
Key Features
- Precision Fit for 825mm Depth Enclosures: The panel measures 648mm wide × 572mm deep × 13mm tall — matched to the NetShelter AV 600W 825mm frame footprint so you get a flush fit with no gaps or rattle.
- Solid Construction in Black: The solid (non-vented) design closes off the top of the enclosure, reducing ambient dust ingress on equipment mounted near the top of the rack — practical in environments where ceiling dust accumulation is a concern.
- Low Profile at 13mm: The roof panel adds only 13mm of height to the overall enclosure stack, so it does not meaningfully affect ceiling clearance calculations in tight equipment rooms.
- Lightweight Packaging: Ships at 6.36 kg in a 667mm × 108mm × 775mm package — easy single-person handling during installation without requiring lift assist.
Integration & Compatibility
The AR7214 is designed specifically for the APC NetShelter AV enclosure line. Verify your enclosure is the 600W / 825mm depth variant before ordering — APC produces multiple roof panels across different depth and width configurations, and cross-fitting panels between incompatible frames will result in a poor or non-functional fit. Consult the enclosure's documentation or the APC rack accessories compatibility guide to confirm the AR7214 matches your specific unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What enclosure is the AR7214 designed for?
A: The AR7214 is a solid roof panel designed for the APC NetShelter AV 600W enclosure with an 825mm depth. It is not a universal fit — confirm your enclosure depth and width before ordering.
Q: Is the AR7214 vented or solid?
A: Solid. The AR7214 provides a closed top surface. If you need vented airflow through the top panel, a different APC roof accessory is required.
Q: What are the dimensions of the AR7214?
A: The panel is 648mm wide × 572mm deep × 13mm tall (approximately 25.5 in × 22.5 in × 0.51 in). It adds minimal height to the enclosure.
Q: How much does the AR7214 weigh for shipping?
A: The packaged weight is 6.36 kg (approximately 14 lbs), shipped in a 667mm × 108mm × 775mm carton.
The AR7214 is a straightforward fit question: if your NetShelter AV enclosure is the 600W, 825mm-depth variant and you need a closed top, this panel drops in at 13mm of added height with no tooling beyond what came with the enclosure. Nothing to configure — it either matches your frame or it does not.
Technical Highlights:
- 648mm Panel Width: Matched to the 600W NetShelter AV frame — not a trimmed-down or oversized approximation. A flush fit matters when the enclosure is visible in a finished AV or network closet install.
- 13mm Profile: Adds under half an inch to total rack height. In rooms with fixed ceiling clearance, this is often the deciding factor between a vented and solid top choice.
- 6.36 kg Ship Weight: Light enough for solo installation. No staging crew or lift equipment needed for a ceiling-clearance-constrained closet install.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm the 825mm depth match before ordering — APC's NetShelter AV line spans multiple depth variants, and roof panels are not interchangeable across those configurations.
- Solid roofs restrict natural convection off the top of the rack. In high-density, poorly cooled spaces, verify that side and rear exhaust paths are unobstructed before closing the top.
The AR7214 is the right call for a NetShelter AV 825mm installation in a finished AV closet or front-of-house equipment room where a clean, dust-resistant top enclosure matters more than passive top-convection airflow.
