APC by Schneider Electric AR7375 NetShelter SX 48U Split Feed-Through Side Panels (Black, Qty 2)
Overview
The AR7375 delivers a matched pair of split feed-through side panels engineered specifically for APC NetShelter SX 48U enclosures with 1070mm depth. Each panel measures 966mm wide by 966mm high by 14mm deep — a slim profile that closes off the sides of adjacent rack rows without consuming meaningful floor space or blocking inter-rack cable paths. Split feed-through construction means you can route power, fiber, and data bundles between cabinets without removing the panel entirely, which matters on live production floors where downtime is not an option.
Key Features
- Purpose-fit for NetShelter SX 48U / 1070mm: These panels are dimensioned to the AR7375's exact enclosure family (966×966mm face, 14mm depth) — not a universal fit. Ordering the correct panel eliminates alignment gaps that compromise airflow containment and cable management aesthetics in hot-aisle/cold-aisle deployments.
- Split feed-through design: The split construction allows cables to pass laterally between cabinets without full panel removal. On a populated row of racks, this means inter-cabinet copper and fiber runs stay dressed and protected while remaining accessible for adds, moves, and changes.
- Matched pair (Qty 2): Panels ship as a set of two, covering both sides of a single cabinet or one side each of two adjacent cabinets. Buying as a pair ensures finish consistency — both panels are the same production batch, same black finish, no color mismatch across a row.
- Black finish: Matches the standard NetShelter SX black powder-coat. Relevant in customer-facing data centers or co-location cages where rack aesthetics are part of the service presentation.
- Manageable install weight: At 21 kg (46.3 lbs) for the pair, two technicians can handle installation without lift equipment in most raised-floor environments.
Integration & Compatibility
The AR7375 is designed for APC by Schneider Electric NetShelter SX enclosures at 48U height and 1070mm depth. Verify your cabinet's depth and U-count before ordering — NetShelter SX panels are not interchangeable across depth variants (600mm, 750mm, and 1070mm are distinct SKU families). If you are building out a full network rack enclosure row, confirm the adjacent cabinet models share the same frame dimensions to ensure flush panel seating. For guidance on complete rack builds including rack PDU selection and airflow accessories, review your row-level capacity plan before finalizing panel quantity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What enclosures is the AR7375 compatible with?
A: The AR7375 is designed for APC NetShelter SX 48U enclosures with 1070mm depth. It is not a universal panel — depth and U-count must match your specific enclosure.
Q: How many panels are included in one AR7375 order?
A: Two panels are included per order (Qty 2), sufficient to cover both sides of one cabinet or one side each of two adjacent cabinets.
Q: What do the dimensions 966 x 14 x 966mm refer to?
A: Those are the individual panel dimensions: 966mm wide, 14mm deep, 966mm tall. This slim 14mm depth keeps the panel nearly flush with the cabinet frame.
Q: What is the shipping weight for the AR7375?
A: The package ships at approximately 25 kg, with the panels themselves weighing 21 kg (46.3 lbs) for the pair.
Q: Can cables pass through the AR7375 panels when installed?
A: Yes. The split feed-through design allows cables to route laterally between cabinets without removing the panel, supporting clean inter-rack cable management on live deployments.
When I spec the AR7375 for a rack row build, the detail I focus on first is that 14mm panel depth — it sounds trivial, but on a tight co-location cage where cabinets are positioned back-to-back or in a hot-aisle containment system, a panel that protrudes even 25-30mm can break the containment seal or foul the containment curtain hardware. The AR7375 keeps the profile flat and the row geometry clean.
Technical Highlights:
- 966 x 966mm face dimensions: Matched exactly to the NetShelter SX 48U frame opening — no trimming, no shimming, no field modification required. Mismatched panels on a 48U row are a persistent source of airflow bypass that thermal scans catch months later.
- Split feed-through construction: Lateral cable runs between cabinets stay intact and dressed when you need to add or swap gear. On a live production row, that means no full panel pull during a maintenance window.
- Pair packaging (Qty 2, 21 kg total): At 46.3 lbs for both panels, two techs can complete the install without a lift. The matched production batch matters for customer-facing deployments where finish consistency is part of the cabinet presentation.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your NetShelter SX depth before ordering — the 1070mm depth variant of the SX family uses different panel SKUs than the 600mm or 750mm depth versions. The AR7375 is not cross-compatible across depth variants.
- Package dimensions run 1048 x 172 x 1048mm at 25 kg — factor that into freight planning for multi-row deployments. Palletized delivery is worth requesting if you are receiving more than four sets at once.
The AR7375 is the right call for enterprise data center rows and co-location cage builds on NetShelter SX 48U / 1070mm infrastructure where airflow containment integrity and clean inter-cabinet cable routing are both non-negotiable requirements.
