APC by Schneider Electric AR7000AW NetShelter SX 42U Perforated Curved Rack Door

Overview

The AR7000AW is a replacement front door designed specifically for APC by Schneider Electric NetShelter SX 42U enclosures with a 600mm wide footprint. If you're refreshing a damaged door, upgrading to a locking configuration, or standardizing the look of a mixed-vintage rack row, this door drops straight into the existing frame without modification. The white finish suits environments where the standard black NetShelter aesthetic isn't the target — think clinical, education, or light-duty office deployments where rack rows are customer-visible.

Key Features

• Perforated Curved Profile: The curved perforated face isn't cosmetic — it maintains airflow across the full door face, which matters when you're running active equipment that pushes heat toward the front of the cabinet. A solid door here would create a dead-air zone; the perforation prevents that.
• Integrated Locking: The door ships with a lock, so you're not adding a retrofit latch after the fact. For IT closets, shared spaces, or any rack that isn't in a dedicated locked room, this is the right default — prevents accidental or unauthorized access without requiring a separate keyed hasp.
• 600mm Width Fit: At 600mm wide and 1915mm tall, this door is dimensioned for the 42U rack enclosure format specifically — not adjustable to fit narrower or wider frames. Confirm your existing NetShelter SX cabinet is the 600mm-wide variant before ordering.
• White Finish: The white powder coat matches the AR7000AW to white-series NetShelter SX deployments. Standard NetShelter SX ships in black; if your enclosures are black, the correct door variant is a different SKU.
• RoHS and REACH Compliance: The AR7000AW carries RoHS, REACH, PEP, and EOLI compliance — relevant for EU deployments, public-sector procurement, and any environment with restricted-substance documentation requirements.

Integration & Compatibility

This door is engineered as a direct replacement component for the NetShelter SX 42U 600mm wide cabinet line. It does not fit NetShelter SX 750mm wide variants, NetShelter VX, or any third-party rack enclosure. Before ordering, verify your cabinet's width rating on the enclosure's label — 600mm and 750mm chassis are visually similar but dimensionally incompatible with this door. No tools beyond a standard screwdriver are typically required for door swap on the NetShelter SX frame.
