APC by Schneider Electric AR7360 NetShelter SX 12U Side Panel
Overview
The AR7360 is a replacement and supplemental side panel designed specifically for APC by Schneider Electric NetShelter SX 12U enclosures with 900mm depth. If you are building out or reconfiguring a NetShelter SX 12U cabinet and need to replace a damaged panel, add physical security to an open-frame build, or complete an enclosure that shipped without side panels, this is the correct part. Sold as a single panel (qty 1) — order two if you need both sides covered.
Key Features
- Exact-fit for NetShelter SX 12U 900mm: Dimensioned at 550mm wide × 1065mm tall × 120mm deep to match the SX 12U 900mm-deep cabinet profile. A purpose-matched panel installs without modification or improvised hardware — no field fabrication, no alignment headaches.
- Black finish: Matches the standard NetShelter SX color scheme, keeping your network cabinet and enclosure installation visually consistent if you are mixing new panels with an existing rack deployment.
- RoHS-compliant construction: Meets the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, which matters for facilities with environmental compliance requirements or enterprise procurement policies that mandate RoHS on all rack infrastructure components.
- Manageable shipping footprint: Package dimensions of 1065mm × 550mm × 120mm and a shipping weight of 7kg (approximately 15.4 lbs) mean this panel ships flat and handles without special freight requirements in most cases.
- Harmonized System code 85079080: Pre-assigned HS code simplifies customs documentation for international procurement or cross-border deployments — relevant for multi-site enterprise projects shipping to non-domestic locations.
Integration & Compatibility
The AR7360 is engineered for the NetShelter SX 12U enclosure family at 900mm depth. Confirm your cabinet's depth specification before ordering — APC produces the NetShelter SX in multiple depth configurations, and side panels are not interchangeable across depth variants. If your cabinet is a different depth (600mm or 1070mm, for example), you will need the corresponding panel part number for that configuration. For broader APC rack accessory compatibility details, cross-reference your cabinet's model number against APC's enclosure accessory selector.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the AR7360 sold as a pair or a single panel?
A: The AR7360 is sold as a single panel (qty 1). If you need to cover both sides of the cabinet, order two units.
Q: Which cabinet is the AR7360 compatible with?
A: The AR7360 is designed for the APC NetShelter SX 12U enclosure at 900mm depth. It is not confirmed compatible with other NetShelter depths or unit heights — verify your cabinet's depth before ordering.
Q: Is the AR7360 RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The AR7360 carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements.
Q: What are the panel's physical dimensions?
A: The AR7360 measures 550mm wide × 1065mm tall × 120mm deep (panel dimensions). Shipping package dimensions are 1065mm × 550mm × 120mm with a package weight of 7kg.
Q: What color is the AR7360?
A: Black, matching the standard APC NetShelter SX cabinet finish.
The AR7360 is a straightforward part, but getting the wrong one is a common and frustrating mistake. The key spec here is the 900mm depth — APC's NetShelter SX 12U line spans multiple depth configurations, and the AR7360 is dimensioned specifically for the 900mm variant at 550mm wide and 1065mm tall. Order this for a 600mm-deep cabinet and it will not fit correctly.
Technical Highlights:
- Panel dimensions (550mm W × 1065mm H × 120mm D): These are exact-match dimensions for the NetShelter SX 12U 900mm enclosure. No field trimming or shimming required — the panel seats into the factory mounting points as designed.
- RoHS compliance: Relevant for any deployment subject to EU environmental directives or enterprise procurement checklists that require RoHS on all infrastructure components, including passive enclosure parts.
- 7kg shipping weight: At roughly 15.4 lbs packaged, the AR7360 ships economically as a standard parcel — no liftgate or freight-class handling needed for single-unit orders in most carrier configurations.
Deployment Considerations:
- Sold as qty 1 — a full enclosure requires two panels. Factor this into your PO if you are building a complete cabinet from scratch or replacing both panels after a move or damage event.
- Confirm cabinet depth before ordering. The NetShelter SX 12U is available in 600mm and 900mm depths; the AR7360 is confirmed only for the 900mm variant. Cross-reference your cabinet's model number if there is any doubt.
This panel is the right call for data center build-outs or server room refreshes where a NetShelter SX 12U 900mm cabinet needs physical side coverage — whether completing a new rack deployment or replacing panels damaged during a facility relocation.
