APC by Schneider Electric AR7308 NetShelter SX 45U 1200mm Split Side Panels — Black, Qty 2
Overview
The AR7308 delivers a matched pair of split side panels designed specifically for APC NetShelter SX 45U enclosures with 1200mm depth. Split-panel construction means you can remove each half independently without clearing cable runs or shifting adjacent equipment — a practical advantage in dense rows where full-length panels would require clearance you rarely have. The black finish matches the standard NetShelter SX aesthetic, keeping multi-rack deployments visually consistent.
Each panel measures 1097mm wide × 898mm tall × 13mm deep, sized to cover the full side profile of a 45U, 1200mm-deep NetShelter SX frame. At a packaged weight of 26.3 kg for the pair, these are substantial steel panels — not lightweight plastic covers — providing the rigidity expected in a properly enclosed server room or data center row.
Compatibility
The AR7308 is engineered exclusively for the APC by Schneider Electric NetShelter SX enclosure family, 45U form factor, 1200mm depth. Do not attempt to fit these panels to NetShelter SX frames with different depths (600mm or 900mm) or to the NetShelter VX or EP lines — panel dimensions and mounting points are not interchangeable across those families. If your rack row mixes depth specifications, verify the exact depth of each enclosure before ordering. For help selecting the right rack enclosure accessories, consult the NetShelter SX compatibility matrix from APC documentation.
Installation Notes
The split design simplifies retrofitting panels onto populated racks — a common need when enclosures are initially deployed without side panels and later require containment for hot/cold aisle separation. Both panels ship together as a set; order one AR7308 per enclosure side requiring coverage. Panel depth of 13mm keeps the overall rack footprint consistent with standard aisle spacing. Refer to APC's rack installation resources for mounting hardware torque specifications and alignment guidance specific to the NetShelter SX frame.
