APC NetShelter SX 48U 1200mm Deep Split Feed Through Side Panels Black Qty 2

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re building or maintaining a rack environment that needs **proper cable management and cleaner access**, APC’s NetShelter SX with split, feed-through side panels is a solid choice. At **£541.37 ex‑VAT for two panels**, you’re paying for panels that fit properly, look “designed,” and make day-to-day work less painful than jury-rigging brush strips or trying to route cables through awkward gaps. For UK data closets, server rooms, and managed sites where you’ll keep adding/removing patching over time, the value is more about reduced labour and fewer compromises than some glamorous spec.

That said, I wouldn’t buy these just because they’re “APC.” If your rack build is staying static, you’re not doing frequent moves/adds/changes, or you don’t actually benefit from side feed-through routing, it can be money better spent elsewhere (network gear, PDUs, airflow work). Also make sure you’re buying the **right NetShelter SX model/form factor** for your cabinet—APC’s ecosystem is good, but mismatched panel kits are a common “regret” scenario. Overall: **good buy for operationally busy racks; questionable buy for static installs**.
