APC by Schneider Electric Netshelter SX 750MM Wide X 1070MM Deep P - AR7251A

APC by Schneider Electric AR7251A NetShelter SX Rack Top Panel

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AR7251A is a top panel designed specifically for NetShelter SX enclosures in the 750mm wide by 1070mm deep configuration. At just 16mm tall, it closes off the top of the cabinet without consuming usable rack unit space — a detail that matters in high-density deployments where every U counts. This panel ships in black to match the NetShelter SX family's standard finish, maintaining a clean, consistent appearance across your server room or data closet.

If you're commissioning a NetShelter SX 750×1070 enclosure and the top panel wasn't included or needs replacement, the AR7251A is the OEM-matched component. Using a non-matched top panel on a NetShelter SX can compromise airflow management and cable routing integrity — the AR7251A is dimensioned precisely at 724mm wide and 908mm deep to seat correctly in this enclosure variant.

Key Features

• Enclosure-matched dimensions (724mm W × 908mm D × 16mm H): Sized to fit the NetShelter SX 750mm wide, 1070mm deep cabinet family without modification. A misfit top panel creates air bypass gaps that undermine hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment — exact fitment prevents this.
• 16mm profile: Minimal height means this panel adds no rack units to your enclosure footprint. In cabinets where top space is used for brush strips or cable managers, this clearance matters.
• RoHS compliant: Meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements — relevant for data center operators in regulated industries or those disposing of equipment in EU jurisdictions.
• REACH and EOLI certified: Confirms compliance with EU chemical safety regulations (REACH) and supports end-of-life information transparency (EOLI), useful for enterprise procurement teams with environmental reporting obligations.
• Black finish: Matches the standard NetShelter SX color scheme. Cosmetic consistency matters in co-location environments and client-facing equipment rooms.

Integration & Compatibility

The AR7251A is engineered for the APC NetShelter SX enclosure line — specifically the 750mm wide by 1070mm deep cabinet variant. Verify your enclosure's width and depth before ordering; APC produces multiple NetShelter SX configurations, and top panels are not cross-compatible between different width or depth combinations. If your enclosure is 600mm wide or 900mm wide, a different top panel part number is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What enclosure does the AR7251A fit?

A: The AR7251A is designed for APC NetShelter SX enclosures that are 750mm wide and 1070mm deep. It measures 724mm wide by 908mm deep and is not cross-compatible with other NetShelter SX width or depth variants.

Q: Does the AR7251A take up rack unit space?

A: No. At 16mm tall, this top panel sits above the rack unit space and does not consume usable U capacity in the enclosure.

Q: Is the AR7251A RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The AR7251A carries RoHS compliance certification, along with REACH and EOLI certifications.

Q: What color is the AR7251A?

A: Black, matching the standard APC NetShelter SX enclosure finish.

Q: How heavy is the packaged AR7251A?

A: The package weight is 9kg. Package dimensions are 813mm wide × 1003mm deep × 102mm tall.

The AR7251A is a straightforward but easy-to-overlook component — when you're speccing a NetShelter SX 750×1070 build, the top panel often doesn't make the initial parts list until the cabinet arrives on-site without one. At 16mm height and 724mm × 908mm footprint, it's dimensioned to seat flush with the enclosure frame and close off the top without improvisation.

Technical Highlights:

• Exact-fit dimensions (724mm W × 908mm D): Engineered specifically for the 750mm wide, 1070mm deep NetShelter SX variant. Off-spec panels leave air gaps that compromise containment performance in managed airflow environments.
• 16mm panel height: Does not consume rack unit space — important when top-of-cabinet real estate is already allocated to horizontal cable managers or brush strip panels.
• RoHS, REACH, and EOLI certification: Satisfies hazardous substance restrictions and end-of-life reporting requirements under EU regulation, which enterprise procurement and sustainability teams increasingly require for capital equipment documentation.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the exact width and depth of your NetShelter SX enclosure before ordering. APC produces multiple SX configurations — a 600mm wide or 900mm wide cabinet requires a different top panel part number entirely.
• The 9kg package weight (813mm × 1003mm × 102mm) means this ships as a large, flat carton. Factor handling clearance into your receiving dock and installation crew logistics, particularly in overhead installation scenarios.

The AR7251A is the right call for any NetShelter SX 750×1070 build where you need a factory-matched top closure — most applicable in structured data closets, co-location cage builds, and enterprise equipment rooms where airflow containment and compliance documentation are non-negotiable.
