APC Racks

Netshelter SX - Overview

APC 2/4-Post Open Frame Racks provide simple, low cost mounting means for rack-mount equipment in IT environments. Ideal for rack-mount servers, networking, and telecom equipment where security at the individual rack level is not required, open frame racks provide unobstructed airflow and fast, easy access to installed equipment. Provisions for vertically mounting APC Rack PDUs in the rear combined with options for easily routing, organizing, and storing large bundles of cables make APC 2/4-Post Open Frame Rack solutions the best alternative on the market. Customers can choose either the open frame rack with square mounting holes for server applications (many servers today require square mounting holes), networking, and telecom applications or the open frame rack with threaded mounting holes for networking and telecom applications.

Cable Access
Large cable access slots in the roof provides access for overhead cable egress. The bottom design allows for unobstructed cable access through a raised floor.

Quick release doors
Front door can be moved to the opposite side or interchanged with rear doors. Doors are easily removed with simple lift-off design.

Integrated and adjustable rear channel provides zero U mounting locations for toolless accessories. Each channel has two mounting bays to support a combination of up to four accessories such as PDUs and vertical cable organizers.

Adjustable mounting rails
The vertical mounting rails can be adjusted in 1/4 in (6.4 mm) increments covering virtually any mounting requirement for IT equipment. U positions are numbered front and back for rapid installation of equipment.

Split rear doors
Split rear doors improve access and serviceability to rear of rack mounted equipment. The split rear doors help to maximize floor space. Only 11 inches (279 mm) of clearance is required behind the enclosures to allow for door swing.

Enclosures are shipped standard with both leveling feet and castors. Leveling feet can be quickly adjusted through the use of a screwdriver or drill, eliminating the need to reach underneath with a wrench.
