APC by Schneider Electric Netshelter SX 42U 600MM Wide X 1070MM Deep Enclosure - AR3300SP2X561

APC by Schneider Electric AR3300SP2X561 NetShelter SX 42U 600mm x 1070mm Rack Enclosure

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AR3300SP2X561 is a 42U, 600mm-wide by 1070mm-deep rack enclosure from the NetShelter SX family — a widely deployed standard in commercial IT infrastructure, data closets, and network equipment rooms. At 42U of usable vertical space, it accommodates a full stack of 1U and 2U servers, patch panels, and managed switches without the compromise of a shallower or narrower footprint. The 1070mm interior depth is matched specifically to accommodate full-depth server platforms that a 900mm or 1000mm enclosure would force you to shoehorn.

The 600mm width keeps the footprint manageable in tight rows while maintaining standard 19-inch EIA rack rail spacing — compatible with virtually all rack-mount equipment regardless of vendor. The black finish is the NetShelter SX standard across APC's APC by Schneider Electric enclosure line, allowing consistent aesthetics in mixed deployments.

Key Features

• 42U Usable Height: Provides enough vertical space to build out a fully loaded server, networking, and patch infrastructure stack in a single enclosure — reducing the number of racks required per row and simplifying cable runs between adjacent units.
• 600mm Wide Footprint: The narrower 600mm profile versus the wider 750mm SX variant suits rack enclosure deployments in space-constrained server rooms or telecom closets where row density matters. Standard 19-inch rail spacing means no compatibility trade-off.
• 1070mm Interior Depth: Sized for full-depth rack servers — a 1070mm internal depth clears standard 900mm to 1000mm server chassis with room for rear cable management. This matters when installing high-density compute or storage platforms that shorter enclosures cannot accommodate without door modifications.
• NetShelter SX Platform: The SX series integrates with APC's broader power distribution and cooling accessories ecosystem, including rack PDUs and blanking panels, allowing incremental build-out without enclosure replacement.

Integration & Compatibility

The AR3300SP2X561 uses standard 19-inch EIA-310 rail spacing, making it compatible with rack-mount equipment from any major vendor — servers, UPS units, patch panels, KVM switches, and network switches all mount without adapter kits. The NetShelter SX series is a common baseline enclosure specified alongside APC's UPS systems and power management hardware, which simplifies procurement when building out a complete power and infrastructure stack.

For deployments requiring airflow management accessories, blanking panels, or rack accessories such as cable management arms and horizontal organizers, the SX series supports APC's modular accessory lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the interior dimensions of the AR3300SP2X561?

A: The AR3300SP2X561 is 600mm wide by 1070mm deep and provides 42U of usable rack space. This depth is suited for full-depth server and storage platforms.

Q: Is the AR3300SP2X561 compatible with standard 19-inch rack equipment?

A: Yes. The NetShelter SX uses standard EIA-310 19-inch rail spacing, which is compatible with rack-mount equipment from all major server, networking, and AV vendors.

Q: Can I add APC PDUs or cooling accessories to the AR3300SP2X561?

A: The NetShelter SX series is designed to accept APC rack PDUs and compatible cooling and cable management accessories. Verify specific accessory part numbers against APC's NetShelter SX compatibility documentation for the 600mm x 1070mm variant.

Q: What is the color of the AR3300SP2X561?

A: Black, which is the standard finish across the NetShelter SX enclosure line.

Marty Allison

The AR3300SP2X561 is the 600mm-wide, 1070mm-deep variant of APC's NetShelter SX line — and that depth spec is the detail that decides whether this is the right enclosure for your build. A 1070mm interior clears most 900mm–1000mm full-depth server chassis with enough rear margin for structured cable management, something you lose when you try to fit the same hardware in a shallower 1000mm-exterior enclosure.

Technical Highlights:

• 42U Capacity: Enough vertical space to fully populate a mixed server, networking, and patch stack in a single unit — reducing per-row rack count and shortening horizontal cable runs between adjacent enclosures.
• 600mm Width: Narrower than the 750mm SX variant, which directly affects row density in space-constrained rooms. The trade-off is slightly less interior width for side-by-side cable routing — plan your cable management accessories accordingly.
• 1070mm Depth: The critical spec for full-depth compute. Towers or short-depth switching hardware don't need this — it's the spec to check when your BOM includes dual-socket servers or dense storage shelves.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 600mm width is the right call for tight data closets and co-location rows, but verify your planned PDU and side panel accessories are rated for the 600mm SX variant specifically — not all SX accessories are width-agnostic.
• With no load rating confirmed in current available specifications, verify the manufacturer's published static and dynamic load capacity for AR3300SP2X561 before planning a fully-loaded high-density compute deployment.

This enclosure is the straightforward choice for a structured IT room or co-location build where full-depth server support and a conservative footprint are both requirements — particularly when the rest of the power and cooling stack is already APC.
