The APC NetShelter SX AR3357X617 Rack Cabinet is a purpose-built, high-density enclosure engineered to simplify data center wiring, optimize airflow, and support scalable IT infrastructure. This 48U enclosure measures 750 mm wide by 1200 mm deep and comes in a sleek black finish, designed to fit a wide range of server, storage, and network gear while maintaining a clean, organized rack environment. With its open-frame configuration—without sides and without doors—it delivers superior front-to-back airflow, rapid access for installation and maintenance, and unparalleled visibility for cable management and equipment placement. Built to integrate seamlessly with APC’s ecosystem of power distribution and cooling accessories, the AR3357X617 is a flexible foundation for growing IT deployments, enabling you to deploy, manage, and expand your equipment with confidence.

  • 48U capacity for expansive equipment layouts — This NetShelter SX cabinet provides 48U of mounting space, giving you ample room for servers, storage devices, switches, and related gear. The generous depth of 1200 mm (47.2 inches) accommodates full-height servers and large network deployments, supporting scalable growth without frequent reconfiguration.
  • 750 mm width and 1200 mm depth for versatile rack layouts — The 750 mm wide footprint is optimized for dense data center floor plans and edge deployments, providing a stable, accessible enclosure that accommodates standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment while leaving space for cable management and cooling paths. This size balances capacity with accessibility, making maintenance and upgrades smoother.
  • Open-frame design (without sides or doors) for maximum airflow — The AR3357X617’s side- and door-less configuration enhances front-to-back airflow, reducing bottlenecks and improving cooling efficiency in high-density environments. Open access simplifies equipment insertion and removal, cable routing, and quick reconfigurations, helping data centers keep cold aisles cool and hot aisles organized.
  • Advanced cable management and accessibility — Engineered to streamline cabling, this cabinet supports internal cable channels, vertical cable managers, and routing paths that guide power and data lines neatly to equipment. Front and rear access points, combined with strategic cable openings, minimize tangling, simplify labeling, and support efficient maintenance windows.
  • Designed for seamless power distribution integration — The NetShelter SX lineup partners with APC PDU solutions and other power accessories, enabling orderly power delivery right at the rack. With standardized 19-inch mounting rails and accessory compatibility, you can configure PDUs, surge protection, and monitoring options to match your load, performance needs, and management policies.

how to install APC by Schneider Electric NetShelter SX AR3357X617 Rack Cabinet

  • Plan and position — Determine the optimal location on a level floor with proper overhead clearance and access to electrical power and data cabling. Confirm that the space supports the full 750 mm width and 1200 mm depth, and account for service clearance around the cabinet for safe maintenance.
  • Prepare the cabinet — Unpack and inspect the NetShelter SX AR3357X617, verifying that all components are present. If your configuration requires rails or accessories, prepare mounting rails and any optional cable management or PDU components according to the included instructions.
  • Install mounting rails — Attach the standard 19-inch mounting rails inside the enclosure per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Ensure rails are level, aligned, and securely fastened to support your anticipated load. Use the provided hardware or APC-approved fasteners to maintain structural integrity.
  • Mount equipment — Begin with heavier devices near the rear for balanced weight distribution. Secure each piece of equipment to the rails using the appropriate screws and hardware. Leave adequate space between devices to promote airflow, and plan cable paths to minimize interference with ventilation.
  • Configure cable management — Route power and data cables using the enclosure’s internal channels and any vertical managers. Label cables for quick identification and future servicing. Where possible, dedicate separate pathways for power and data to minimize crosstalk and heat buildup.
  • Connect power and network — Install APC PDUs or other power accessories as needed. Connect power cables and network cables to the respective devices, ensuring that all connections are snug and that cords have slack to allow for service and maintenance without stress on ports.
  • Verify airflow and cooling — With equipment installed, review airflow patterns to ensure front-to-back cooling flow. If available, consider adding blanking panels to close off unused space and improve cooling efficiency. Periodically inspect fans, vents, and any cooling accessories to maintain performance.
  • Final checks and commissioning — Confirm all devices power on correctly, verify network connectivity, and ensure cable trays and channels remain unobstructed. Document the rack’s contents, cable routing diagrams, and maintenance schedule to support ongoing reliability and ease of management.
