APC NetShelter Aisle Containment, Cabinet Seal Coextrusion, 1000 mm, Set of 6, Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re trying to keep hot air where it belongs, this kind of NetShelter aisle containment is a sensible buy. At £158.72 ex-VAT for a set of six, it’s not “cheap”, but it’s also not the sort of spend that makes you question the budget—especially if you’re already paying for cooling and you’ve got mixed airflow in a typical server room. In practice, this works best when you’re using the aisle-containment approach with compatible APC cabinetry/rack setups, and you care about improving temperature stability without overhauling the whole datacentre. It’s the sort of tidy, incremental change that can make air management noticeably better.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it just because it’s “for cabinets” if your racks/cabinets aren’t part of a matching containment system. If the fit isn’t right, you’ll just end up with gaps and wasted effort—at which point you’ve spent money for marginal gains. Before you commit, make sure you’ve measured your aisle and rack layout, and confirm compatibility with your NetShelter configuration. For teams doing serious airflow management (or preparing for denser gear), it’s a good value; for a casual rack arrangement with no containment plan, it’s probably overkill.
