AI-generated summary
If you’re already using an APC Easy Rack and you’ve messed up a side panel (or need to reconfigure and want a proper, matching look), these split side panels make sense. They’re a straightforward, “keep the cabinet feeling OEM” type of part, and the split design is genuinely handy in the real world when you’re working in tight plant rooms or doing maintenance without trying to manhandle a full sheet. At £143.02 ex-VAT for a pair, it feels fair for a like-for-like replacement rather than trying to bodge something generic that won’t fit cleanly.
That said, I wouldn’t buy these if you’re just trying to “improve” a rack—this isn’t transformative tech, it’s replacement/consumable-type hardware. Also double-check you actually have the Easy Rack family and the right dimensions/depth before ordering; a mismatch is the kind of hassle that turns a simple replacement into a return job. If you maintain racks across a site and want consistency for spares, they’re a sensible addition to the toolkit—if you’re building from scratch, spend your budget on the rack or cooling you actually need, not cosmetic/side coverage.
