APC by Schneider Electric Netshelter SX 12U 600MM Wide Perforated Curved Door Black - AR7060

APC by Schneider Electric AR7060 NetShelter SX 12U 600mm Perforated Curved Door

Overview

The AR7060 is a replacement perforated curved front door designed specifically for APC by Schneider Electric NetShelter SX 12U enclosures in the 600mm wide form factor. If your existing door is damaged, needs replacing for access-control reasons, or you are converting a solid-door unit to an open-airflow configuration, this is the correct part. The curved perforated design promotes passive airflow into the rack while maintaining a clean, professional appearance in equipment rooms and data closets. Finished in black to match the standard NetShelter SX rack enclosure lineup.

Key Features

• Purpose-fit compatibility: Engineered exclusively for the NetShelter SX 12U 600mm wide chassis — no adapter plates, no modification required. Drop-in replacement that restores OEM fit and function.
• Perforated curved profile: The curved perforated face allows front-to-back airflow, reducing hot-spot risk for 1U/2U appliances that rely on passive or fan-assisted intake. A solid door on active networking gear can restrict intake airflow; this door eliminates that concern.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements, making it suitable for deployments in environments with strict materials regulations or green-building mandates.
• Mounting kit included: Ships with a mounting kit, so you have the hardware needed to complete the swap without a separate parts order.
• Compact shipping footprint: Package dimensions of 730 × 755 × 150mm at 7.5kg (approx. 16.5 lbs) — manageable for a single technician to handle on-site without additional lift equipment.
• Black finish: Matches the standard NetShelter SX color scheme, keeping your rack room visually consistent — relevant in customer-facing or co-lo environments where appearance matters.

Compatibility

The AR7060 is verified for use with the APC NetShelter SX 12U enclosure in the 600mm wide configuration. Verify your enclosure model before ordering — NetShelter SX units come in multiple heights (12U, 18U, 24U, 42U) and widths (600mm, 750mm); doors are not interchangeable across these variants. If you are unsure of your enclosure's exact model, check the label on the rear vertical rail of the cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which enclosure models is the AR7060 compatible with?

A: The AR7060 is designed for the APC NetShelter SX 12U enclosure in the 600mm wide configuration. It is not compatible with 750mm wide variants or other rack heights without verification from APC.

Q: Does the AR7060 include the hardware needed for installation?

A: Yes. A mounting kit is included in the package, providing the hardware required to install the door on a compatible NetShelter SX 12U enclosure.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the AR7060?

A: The door measures approximately 755mm wide × 730mm tall × 150mm deep. Package dimensions are 730 × 755 × 150mm, and the packaged weight is 7.5kg (approximately 16.5 lbs).

Q: Is the AR7060 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The AR7060 carries RoHS compliance, making it suitable for deployments subject to materials restriction regulations.

Q: Will this door fit a NetShelter SX 750mm wide enclosure?

A: No. The AR7060 is sized for the 600mm wide NetShelter SX chassis. APC offers separate door SKUs for the 750mm wide variant — confirm your enclosure's width before ordering.

Ted Perry

The AR7060 is a straightforward part, but getting the enclosure match wrong is an easy and frustrating mistake — I've seen technicians order the 750mm door for a 600mm cabinet more than once. Confirm your NetShelter SX width from the enclosure label before you place the order. The 600mm-wide, 12U form factor is common in smaller equipment closets and branch-office server rooms, and this door slots in without any modification.

Technical Highlights:

• Perforated curved face: Promotes passive front intake airflow — particularly useful in 12U closets where airflow management is limited and solid doors create unnecessary thermal restriction for switches and 1U servers.
• Packaged at 7.5kg: One-person carry and install. No team lift required, which matters when you're doing a swap in a live equipment room with limited staging space.
• RoHS compliance: Confirmed on the AR7060 — relevant if your site has materials compliance documentation requirements, such as LEED-certified buildings or certain government facilities.

Deployment Considerations:

• Double-check the enclosure width (600mm vs. 750mm) and height (12U) before ordering — APC door SKUs are not interchangeable across these dimensions, and returns on rack hardware can be slow.
• The mounting kit is included, but if you're doing a bulk replacement across multiple enclosures, verify that kit quantities are sufficient before dispatching a technician to the site.

The AR7060 is the right call for facilities teams managing NetShelter SX 12U 600mm enclosures in branch offices or IDF closets where a damaged or missing door needs a like-for-like OEM replacement without custom fabrication.
