APC by Schneider Electric Netshelter SX 18U 1070MM Deep Side Panel (qty 1) - AR7363

APC by Schneider Electric AR7363 NetShelter SX 18U Side Panel

Overview

The AR7363 is a replacement or supplemental side panel designed specifically for APC NetShelter SX 18U enclosures with a 1070mm depth. If you're completing a rack build, replacing damaged panels, or adding side enclosure to an open-frame configuration, this is the correct part — provided your enclosure matches the 18U, 1070mm-deep NetShelter SX form factor. Dimensional fit is non-negotiable with rack panels: confirm your enclosure depth before ordering.

Key Features

• 18U Rack Compatibility: Designed to fit APC NetShelter SX enclosures in the 18U form factor — not interchangeable with 12U, 24U, or 42U variants, so verify your enclosure size before ordering.
• 1070mm Depth Coverage: The 1065mm panel height and 810mm width are sized specifically for the 1070mm-deep NetShelter SX cabinet family. Using this on a shallower or deeper enclosure will result in gaps or misalignment.
• Single-Panel Quantity: Sold individually (qty 1). If you need both sides of a rack enclosed, order two units — the AR7363 covers one side only.
• Black Finish: Matches the standard APC NetShelter SX color scheme, maintaining a consistent appearance in data center rows and IT rooms where rack aesthetics and airflow management matter.
• 11.5 kg Shipping Weight: Plan accordingly for freight; the panel ships in a 1065mm × 810mm × 120mm package, which requires standard pallet or long-item handling — not an envelope or small parcel.

Integration & Compatibility

The AR7363 is part of the APC rack enclosure accessories line. It is engineered for the NetShelter SX 18U, 1070mm-deep cabinet. It is not a universal panel. Confirm your enclosure model number starts with the AR3100-series NetShelter SX 18U lineup before purchasing. If you're building out a network infrastructure room with APC racks, cross-reference the enclosure depth (600mm, 900mm, and 1070mm are different depths with different side panels).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which APC rack enclosures is the AR7363 compatible with?

A: The AR7363 is designed for APC NetShelter SX 18U enclosures with a 1070mm depth. It is not compatible with shallower NetShelter SX models or other U-counts.

Q: Does the AR7363 come as a pair (both sides)?

A: No. The AR7363 is sold as a single panel (qty 1). If you need to enclose both sides of a rack, you will need to order two units.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the AR7363?

A: The panel measures 810mm wide × 1065mm tall × 120mm deep. The shipping package is the same footprint at approximately 11.5 kg.

Q: Is the AR7363 lockable?

A: Lock mechanism details are not confirmed in available evidence. Consult the APC product documentation or your APC enclosure manual to verify locking compatibility.

Q: What color is the AR7363?

A: Black, matching the standard APC NetShelter SX enclosure finish.

Marty Allison

The AR7363 is a straightforward component, but I see misorders on this part more than almost any other rack accessory. The 1070mm depth spec is the critical number — APC's NetShelter SX line ships in 600mm, 900mm, and 1070mm depth variants, and the side panels are depth-specific. Order the wrong depth and you're looking at a return, not a workaround.

Technical Highlights:

• 18U Form Factor: Fits only the 18U NetShelter SX height — at 1065mm tall and 810mm wide, it's dimensionally locked to this cabinet size. Cross-check your rack's U-count before placing the order.
• Single-Panel Sale: At qty 1 per pack, budget for two if you're enclosing both sides. A common oversight when pricing out a rack build is treating side panels as a paired SKU — they're not.
• 11.5 kg Shipping Weight: The package ships at 11.5 kg in a 1065mm × 810mm × 120mm carton. Flag this for your freight team — it won't fit in a standard courier envelope and may require freight class handling depending on your dock configuration.

Deployment Considerations:

• Before ordering, pull the model number off your existing APC enclosure and confirm it's a NetShelter SX 18U, 1070mm-deep unit — the AR7363 will not fit NetShelter SX 600mm or 900mm variants.
• If you're replacing a damaged panel in an active data center row, confirm the rack is not load-bearing the panel for cable management; side panels on NetShelter SX units can have cable routing clips that need to transfer to the replacement.

The AR7363 is the right call for IT rooms and small data center deployments where a complete NetShelter SX 18U enclosure is being built out or a damaged side panel needs a like-for-like replacement — not a universal fit for any rack on the floor.
