APC by Schneider Electric Netshelter SX 48U 600MM Wide X 1070MM Deep Enclosure Without - AR3107X617

APC by Schneider Electric AR3107X617 48U Server Rack Enclosure

Overview

The AR3107X617 is APC by Schneider Electric's NetShelter SX 48U rack enclosure, sized at 600mm wide by 1070mm deep — a standard footprint that fits the majority of enterprise server, networking, and storage hardware without custom rail kits or side-panel modifications. At 48U of usable rack space, it provides enough vertical capacity to house a full compute stack, top-of-rack switching, and patch management in a single cabinet, which matters when you're planning floor space in a dense data center or colocation bay. Browse the full APC by Schneider Electric catalog to see complementary PDUs, UPS systems, and airflow management accessories designed for this enclosure family.

The 600mm width is the industry-standard narrow profile — wide enough for blanking panels, cable management arms, and most 19-inch equipment, but narrower than the 750mm variants that trade aisle space for extra internal clearance. If your equipment includes deep blade chassis or high-density storage arrays that need more than 1070mm of internal depth, verify rail extension availability before committing to this model. For standard 1U–4U rack servers and network switches, the 1070mm depth is sufficient.

Weighing 222.67 lbs empty, the AR3107X617 requires proper floor load planning — factor in the enclosure weight plus the full populated equipment load when reviewing raised-floor or concrete slab specifications. This is not a lightweight open-frame rack; it is a fully enclosed server rack enclosure intended for environments where cable containment, physical security, and airflow management are requirements, not afterthoughts.

The NetShelter SX line is a long-standing platform in APC's data center portfolio, which means replacement parts, additional shelves, rail kits, and door variants are readily available through standard channels. For buyers integrating this into an existing NetShelter SX deployment, the AR3107X617 maintains dimensional compatibility with the broader SX accessory ecosystem. Pair with APC rack PDUs and UPS systems sized for your load to complete the power chain.

Key Features

• 48U Rack Space: Accommodates a full enterprise compute stack — servers, ToR switching, and patch panels — without splitting across multiple cabinets, which simplifies cable runs and reduces cross-cabinet patching complexity.
• 600mm Wide x 1070mm Deep Footprint: Matches the standard data center tile grid and fits most 19-inch rack-mount equipment; confirm depth against your deepest chassis before ordering.
• 222.67 lb Empty Weight: Fully enclosed steel construction — plan floor load calculations with populated weight well in mind before final placement on raised flooring.
• NetShelter SX Ecosystem Compatibility: Rail kits, PDU brackets, blanking panels, and airflow accessories from the SX line mount directly, protecting your accessory investment across cabinet refreshes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the usable rack unit capacity of the AR3107X617?

A: The AR3107X617 provides 48U of usable rack space, suitable for housing full enterprise server, switching, and patch management configurations in a single enclosure.

Q: What are the internal dimensions of the AR3107X617?

A: The enclosure is 600mm wide and 1070mm deep. Verify that your deepest chassis — particularly blade servers or high-density storage arrays — fits within the 1070mm internal depth before ordering.

Q: How much does the AR3107X617 weigh empty?

A: The empty enclosure weighs 222.67 lbs. Add the full populated equipment weight to determine floor load requirements for raised-floor or structural slab installations.

Q: Is the AR3107X617 compatible with other NetShelter SX accessories?

A: Yes. The AR3107X617 is part of the NetShelter SX platform, which shares a common accessory ecosystem including rail kits, PDU mounting brackets, blanking panels, and airflow management components.

Q: What is the difference between the 600mm and 750mm wide NetShelter SX variants?

A: The 600mm width is the standard narrow profile that fits most data center aisle plans. The 750mm variants provide more internal side clearance for cable management arms and wider equipment, but consume more floor space per cabinet. Choose based on your equipment widths and aisle layout.

The AR3107X617 is the enclosure I reach for when a deployment calls for a standard 48U footprint that has to live alongside existing NetShelter SX infrastructure — the 600mm x 1070mm form factor drops into virtually any tile-grid data center layout without special floor planning, and the SX accessory ecosystem means you're not hunting for one-off rail kits. At 222.67 lbs empty, this cabinet is built for permanence, not mobility.

Technical Highlights:

• 48U Rack Height: Enough vertical space to consolidate a full server tier, ToR switching, and structured cabling into one physical security boundary — fewer cabinets means simpler physical access control.
• 600mm Width: The narrow-standard profile that works with the majority of 19-inch rack-mount hardware and keeps per-cabinet floor space predictable in high-density rows.
• 1070mm Internal Depth: Fits standard 1U–4U servers and most network switches; confirm against chassis depth specifications for blade or high-density storage before finalizing the order.

Deployment Considerations:

• At 222.67 lbs empty, floor load planning is non-negotiable before placement — get the structural rating for your raised floor tiles or slab before the cabinet ships, not after.
• The 1070mm depth is sufficient for most rack servers but can be tight for some high-density storage arrays and deep blade enclosures — measure your deepest piece of equipment and add cable management clearance before committing.

This enclosure is the right call for colocation deployments and enterprise server rooms where the NetShelter SX line is already the standard — consistent rail kits, blanking panels, and PDU mounting across every cabinet in the row simplifies both initial build-out and future refresh cycles.
