APC by Schneider Electric Netshelter SX 48U 600MM Wide X 1070MM Deep Enclosure Without - AR3107X610

APC by Schneider Electric AR3107X610 NetShelter SX 48U Open Rack Enclosure

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AR3107X610 is a 48U, 600mm-wide by 1070mm-deep freestanding server enclosure built for data center and server room deployments where density, compliance, and structural integrity are non-negotiable. Shipped without doors, this configuration is the go-to choice for environments that prioritize maximum airflow or plan to install aftermarket blanking panels and door kits later. The 1,704 kg maximum weight capacity — one of the highest in the rack enclosure category — means you can fully populate this cabinet with high-density blade chassis, GPU servers, or storage arrays without worrying about structural failure. The 2,258 mm overall height fits cleanly under standard 10-foot raised-floor data center ceilings, and the 19-inch (48.3 cm) EIA-310-E-compliant rail spacing accepts virtually every rackmountable device on the market.

For integrators and IT architects specifying APC by Schneider Electric infrastructure, the AR3107X610 sits at the intersection of physical depth and vertical density — 1,070 mm of usable depth accommodates full-depth servers and patch panels side-by-side without cable management compromises.

Key Features

• 48U Vertical Capacity: 48 rack units of usable space in a single enclosure means a fully configured cabinet can consolidate what might otherwise require two shorter racks — fewer footprints, fewer PDU runs, and simpler cable pathways.
• 1,704 kg Maximum Weight Rating: Most mid-range enclosures cap out at 900–1,200 kg. The AR3107X610's 1,704 kg structural rating means you can load high-density blade systems, UPS units, and storage arrays simultaneously without approaching the weight limit — important when calculating floor load distribution across a raised-floor grid.
• 600 mm Wide x 1,070 mm Deep Interior: The 600 mm width accommodates standard 19-inch equipment plus side-by-side vertical cable managers. The 1,070 mm depth comfortably houses full-depth 1U and 2U servers (typically 700–900 mm) along with rear patch panels — no forced compromise between cable management and device depth.
• No-Door Shipping Configuration: Delivered without side or front/rear doors, which cuts shipping weight and allows immediate open-frame deployment for high-density compute or GPU clusters that generate significant heat loads. Doors can be added after installation if the environment requires physical security or containment later.
• EIA-310-E Compliant Rail Spacing: The 48.3 cm (19-inch) EIA-310-E standard ensures universal compatibility with server, networking, and AV equipment from any manufacturer — no adapter kits, no non-standard hole patterns.
• UL 60950 and RoHS Certified: UL 60950 certification means the enclosure meets recognized safety standards for information technology equipment — required documentation for many enterprise and government procurement processes. RoHS compliance confirms restricted hazardous substance compliance, relevant for deployments in the EU or for organizations with environmental procurement policies.
• Black Finish: Standard data center black finish integrates with mixed-vendor environments and is consistent with APC's broader NetShelter SX rack line, simplifying visual organization in multi-cabinet rows.
• Freestanding Design: No wall anchoring or floor rail system required for basic installation. Floor leveling feet handle minor surface irregularities on raised-floor tiles or concrete slabs, and the freestanding footprint keeps the installation process straightforward for smaller teams.

Integration and Compatibility

The AR3107X610 is designed to integrate within APC's broader NetShelter SX ecosystem, which means it accepts APC-branded side panels, blanking panels, door kits, and cable management accessories as add-ons. The EIA-310-E rail standard guarantees compatibility with equipment from Cisco, Dell, HPE, Supermicro, and virtually every other enterprise hardware vendor — rack units are standard across the board. For power distribution, the 1,070 mm depth provides enough rear clearance for vertical PDU mounting alongside full-depth servers, which keeps horizontal cable runs short and organized. If you are planning a hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment setup, the doorless configuration of this SKU ships ready for aftermarket containment curtains or hard-wall aisle containment kits without requiring door removal on arrival. Grounding provisions follow standard data center practice; verify local bonding requirements before commissioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum weight capacity of the AR3107X610?

A: The AR3107X610 is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 1,704 kg. This is the structural load rating for the enclosure itself — always verify your floor's load-bearing capacity separately, especially on raised-floor systems.

Q: Does the AR3107X610 ship with doors installed?

A: No. This SKU is specifically configured without doors. It ships as an open-frame enclosure. Doors can be added later using compatible APC NetShelter SX door accessories if physical security or containment is required after installation.

Q: Is the AR3107X610 compatible with standard 19-inch rack equipment?

A: Yes. The enclosure meets EIA-310-E standards with 48.3 cm (19-inch) rail spacing, which is the universal standard for rackmountable IT equipment from all major vendors.

Q: What certifications does the AR3107X610 carry?

A: The AR3107X610 is certified to UL 60950 (safety for IT equipment) and EIA-310-E (rack dimensional standard), and is RoHS compliant for restricted hazardous substances.

Q: What are the interior dimensions of the AR3107X610?

A: The enclosure is 600 mm wide, 1,070 mm deep, and provides 48U of vertical mounting space at a total height of 2,258 mm. Usable internal width for equipment is the standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) EIA rail span.

Q: Can this enclosure be used in a hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment configuration?

A: Yes. The doorless shipping configuration makes the AR3107X610 immediately compatible with aftermarket aisle containment systems. The 1,070 mm depth also provides adequate rear clearance for vertical PDU mounting alongside full-depth servers, which supports proper front-to-back airflow design.

Marty Allison

The AR3107X610 is one of those enclosures I recommend specifically when a customer is running high-density compute and needs structural headroom to match. That 1,704 kg weight rating is not marketing — it is the spec that matters when you are stacking full-depth blade enclosures and dual UPS units in the same cabinet without doing floor load math every time you add a device.

Technical Highlights:

• 48U at 2,258 mm Total Height: Maximizes vertical density within standard ceiling clearances — 48U eliminates the need for a second enclosure in most single-rack deployments, cutting PDU, cabling, and footprint costs.
• 1,070 mm Interior Depth: Accommodates full-depth 1U servers (typically 700–900 mm) plus rear patch panels and PDUs simultaneously — no forced trade-off between cable management and device population.
• UL 60950 + EIA-310-E Compliance: Both certifications are commonly required line items in enterprise and government procurement documentation; having them factory-certified on arrival avoids the compliance hold-up during commissioning.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 157.7 kg shipping weight (packaged) means a standard two-person lift team and a pallet jack are required for safe positioning — plan your delivery route through the data center before the pallet arrives, especially if there are raised-floor tiles or narrow aisle clearances involved.
• This SKU ships without doors by design — if your facility has physical security or containment requirements, source the appropriate APC NetShelter SX door kit before commissioning rather than retrofitting after equipment is populated.

This enclosure is the right call for high-density server rooms and colocation deployments where you are populating the cabinet near its weight limit and need a compliance-documented, EIA-standard frame that will not require structural re-evaluation every time the hardware configuration changes.
