APC NetShelter WX AR106SH4, 6U, 19inch patch cabinet, Wall mounting, Pre-assembled, 400mm deep

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £222.85 ex-VAT, the APC NetShelter WX AR106SH4 is a pretty sensible buy if you’re looking for a simple, tidy wall-mounted patching spot and you want it done without faffing. The fact it’s pre-assembled is the real time-saver here—wall cabinets are the sort of thing that can become a weekend project if you’re not careful. Also, the 19-inch format and the sensible 6U size make it ideal for typical “small office / comms cupboard” use: patch panels, switches, a small UPS if you’re keeping things lean, and generally anything that needs to look professional without taking up floor space.

That said, it’s not for everyone. If you’re planning on heavier equipment loads, frequent upgrades, or cabling projects that will balloon beyond 6U, you’ll quickly hit the limit and end up paying twice (either for expansion or replacement). And wall-mounting can be a mixed bag depending on your building—make sure the mounting surface is solid and you’ve thought about access/strain relief before you commit. If you want a clean, cost-effective patch cabinet and your footprint is tight, this is a good fit; if you need “growth” or serious density, look bigger or consider an upright cabinet instead.
