APC NetShelter SX / SV Roof Brush Strip

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Honestly, this is one of those “small part, big annoyance later” accessories. The APC NetShelter SX/SV Roof Brush Strip is basically there to clean up the top-of-rack gap so cabling and airflow behave better (less dust/draft creep, fewer bits getting where they shouldn’t). At £79.90 ex-VAT it’s not cheap for what it is, but for teams doing tidy installs—data centres, managed service desks, or anyone who has to keep racks looking professional and running clean—it's good value compared to the time you’d waste improvising or cleaning up consequences.

Who should buy: anyone mounting kit in NetShelter SX/SV racks who cares about cable management, dust control, and a proper finish, especially if you’re running lots of patch leads or bringing cables in/out above the rack. Who shouldn’t: if you’re building a quick-and-dirty lab, you rarely move cables, or you don’t care about dust/air leakage, this is likely “nice to have” rather than “must have.” Also, make sure you’re matching the exact rack model family—compatibility here matters, and if it’s the wrong variant you’ll spend more time fitting than you should.
