APC by Schneider Electric AR702407 NetShelter SV 48U 600mm Wide Perforated Rack Enclosure

Overview

The AR702407 is APC's NetShelter SV 48U open-frame-style rack enclosure in a 600mm-wide perforated configuration — a proven form factor for equipment-dense server rooms, IDF/MDF closets, and network operations centers where airflow management is non-negotiable. At 2156mm tall with 48 usable rack units, it accommodates a full complement of 1U and 2U gear without requiring a second cabinet, which matters when floor space is at a premium. The perforated front door design promotes natural convective airflow and pairs well with in-row or overhead cooling infrastructure.

Key Features

• 48U Rack Capacity: Forty-eight rack units in a single 2156mm-tall enclosure means you can consolidate switches, patch panels, servers, and UPS gear without splitting across two cabinets — fewer cable runs, fewer management points, lower installation labor.
• 600mm Wide Form Factor: The 595mm external width (nominally 600mm) fits standard raised-floor tiles and most equipment room grid layouts. Wider than 19-inch open frames, it accommodates side-mounted cable managers and vertical PDUs without projecting into adjacent aisle space.
• Perforated Door Construction: Perforated steel doors allow unrestricted front-to-back airflow across installed equipment — a practical requirement when you're running high-wattage compute gear that demands consistent intake air. Solid-door enclosures of this height trap heat; the perforated design here avoids that.
• Black Finish: Standard data center black finish integrates cleanly into mixed-vendor rack rows without visual inconsistency — relevant in customer-facing NOC environments or colocation suites where cabinet uniformity is expected.
• Commercial-Grade Steel Construction: NetShelter SV enclosures are designed for commercial and enterprise environments, not light-duty AV or retail deployments. The enclosure ships at 23.2kg packaged weight, indicating substantial steel gauge construction appropriate for heavy equipment loads.

Integration & Compatibility

The AR702407 accepts standard 19-inch EIA-310 rackmount equipment — the universal form factor for networking gear, servers, patch panels, KVM switches, and APC's own Smart-UPS and Symmetra power infrastructure. The 600mm width accommodates most standard PDU mounting options and leaves room for internal vertical cable managers. Verify compatibility with your specific cable management and blanking panel accessories using APC's enclosure compatibility tool, as NetShelter SV accessories are designed to the SV rail system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the usable rack capacity of the AR702407?

A: The AR702407 provides 48U of usable rack space in a 2156mm-tall enclosure.

Q: What is the external width of the AR702407?

A: The external width is 595mm, nominally described as the 600mm-wide configuration in the NetShelter SV line.

Q: Does the AR702407 support standard 19-inch rackmount equipment?

A: Yes. Like all NetShelter SV enclosures, the AR702407 is built around the EIA-310 19-inch rack standard, which covers virtually all commercial networking, server, and AV gear.

Q: What color is the AR702407?

A: The AR702407 ships in standard data center black.

Q: What does the perforated door provide over a solid door?

A: Perforated doors allow front-to-back airflow through the enclosure, reducing heat buildup across installed equipment — particularly important in high-density or high-wattage configurations.
