42U APC Rack AR3100 Compatibility Integrated with APC InfraStruXure products:
APC cooling, power distribution, and cable management products work seamlessly with the enclosures to provide a complete IT infrastructure support system.
APC 42U Rack Guaranteed compatibility:
Vendor-neutral mounting for guaranteed compatibility with all EIA-310 compliant 19" equipment. The APC "Fits Like a Glove" money back guarantee provides peace of mind that all of your EIA-310-D compliant rack-mount equipment will physically fit in a NetShelter SX enclosure.
- 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.
- No need to spend hours choosing from and compiling dozens of part numbers to create a single enclosure. APC has made it easy by handling the details and providing complete enclosures with single part numbers.
- Perforated front and rear doors provide ample ventilation for servers and networking equipment.
Front door can be moved to the opposite side or interchanged with rear doors. Doors are easily removed with simple lift-off design. - Half-height quick release side panels reduce size and weight for easy handling and access to equipment. Side panels are lockable utilizing a single key with the doors.
APC NetShelter SX 42U Rack AR3100 Agility:
- 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.
- 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 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.
- Leveling feet can be quickly adjusted through the use of a screwdriver or drill, eliminating the need to reach underneath with a wrench. Enclosures are shipped standard with both leveling feet and castors.
- Overhead cable troughs and partitions install toollessly on the roof of the enclosure eliminating the need for ceiling mounted or under floor mounted cable trays. Cable troughs and partitions are designed to manage both power and data cables while maintaining separation.
