APC NetShelter SX 42U 1070mm Deep Split Side Panels Black Qty 2

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re already running an APC NetShelter SX 42U and you’ve found yourself needing replacement side panels, these split panels are a decent, hassle-saving buy. The main value here is practical: “split” makes them much easier to fit around cabling and fixed-in-place kit than trying to wrestle with full side sections. At £316.40 ex-VAT for the pair, it’s not cheap, but it’s the sort of cost you’ll actually feel worth it when you’re avoiding downtime, delays, or bodging something together that doesn’t align properly.

Who should buy: data closets, server rooms, and managed environments where maintenance happens regularly and parts may need replacing (damage, refurbishment, or reconfiguration). You’ll also appreciate them if you’ve got tight access constraints—getting panels on/off without dismantling half the rack is real money saved in labour time. Who should *not* bother: if you’re just trying to save on visuals/airflow without a genuine need, you might be better off confirming whether your existing panels can be repaired or whether you actually require side coverage at all for your airflow design. Also, double-check you’ve got the exact NetShelter SX variant—APC rack parts are “compatible-ish” in some cases until you’re stood there with the wrong fit.
