APC NetShelter SX 48U 1070mm Deep Split Side Panels Black Qty 2

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve already got an APC NetShelter SX 48U and you’re trying to clean up the install, these split side panels are a sensible, practical add-on. The main value is accessibility: split panels make it easier to work on cabling or airflow without having to fully unbolt/remove a whole side section every time. For a reseller or a busy IT department doing moves/adds/changes, that saves time and reduces the “pain factor” of maintenance.

That said, at £332.18 ex-VAT for two panels, it only really stacks up if you specifically need them for your existing chassis or you’re replacing damaged/modified side work. If you’re building a rack from scratch, or you don’t expect to do frequent servicing, you could easily end up paying for convenience you won’t use. Also double-check compatibility with your exact NetShelter SX model and that your airflow/cabling plan actually benefits from split-side access—otherwise you’re paying for a nicer workflow rather than a tangible capability upgrade.
