APC Easy Rack Side Panel 48U/1000mm Deep Split Side Panels Black Qty 2

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re after a tidy, professional finish to a rack installation, these APC split side panels are a sensible, no-drama upgrade. The “split” design is genuinely useful in day-to-day use: it makes it easier to fit around patching and cabling without fighting a single giant panel, and the black finish looks clean in office and comms-room environments. At £151.44 ex-VAT for two panels, you’re not exactly buying cheap generic blanks, but you are paying for a more consistent fit with APC’s racking ecosystem.

That said, I wouldn’t buy these unless you’re confident you’ve got matching APC rack compatibility. Side panels are one of those “small part, big headache” items if the sizes don’t line up exactly—worth checking your rack model/depth and whether you’re replacing existing panels or retrofitting into a different system. If you’re building a rack from scratch and you just need basic coverage, alternatives can be better value. But if you already live in an APC rack and you want reliable fit and an easy install path, these are a fair spend.
