Description

APC by Schneider Electric NetShelter WX 9U Single Hinged Wall-mount Enclosure 400mm Deep

Designed for edge computing, the APC NetShelter WX 9U Single Hinged Wall-mount Enclosure offers a compact, secure, and scalable home for critical server, network, and storage equipment. Ideal for environments with limited floor space, including retail backrooms, healthcare facilities, and educational campuses, this wall-mount enclosure delivers optimized airflow, organized cable management, and highly accessible serviceability. Its 9U capacity and 400 mm depth strike a balance between generous equipment mounting space and the tight footprints demanded by modern edge deployments. Built by Schneider Electric, a trusted name in data center infrastructure, this enclosure blends rugged construction with practical design features to support rapid deployment, safer maintenance, and long-term reliability in demanding settings.

  • Space-efficient edge deployment: The 9U wall-mount form factor is engineered to maximize usable IT space in areas where floor-standing racks won’t fit. It provides a robust mounting solution for compact servers, switches, storage devices, and network appliances, enabling you to consolidate critical gear near the point of use. This enclosure helps reduce cable runs, improve network latency, and streamline maintenance in retail, healthcare, and education environments where space is at a premium.
  • Generous depth for power, cooling, and cabling: With a 400 mm (approximately 15.75 inches) depth, this enclosure accommodates multiple devices and allows room for power distribution, patch panels, and cable management without crowding. The deeper footprint supports more robust airflow and easier cable routing, which can contribute to better thermal performance and easier future expansion as your edge workloads grow.
  • Secure, accessible front access: The single hinged front door provides a secure, convenient point of access for technicians and administrators. The door is designed to be lockable, keeping sensitive equipment physically secure while still allowing quick entry for maintenance and upgrades. A well-sealed front helps minimize dust intrusion while maintaining user-friendly serviceability for frequent updates in high-traffic environments.
  • Tailored for edge-ready IT environments: This enclosure is purpose-built for edge computing use cases in retail, healthcare, and educational facilities. Its rugged steel construction, powder-coated finish, and compliant hardware are chosen to withstand the rigors of non-dedicated IT spaces. The enclosure supports organized, scalable deployments with 19-inch rack-mount equipment, enabling IT teams to standardize gear across locations and simplify inventory and maintenance processes.
  • Flexible access and versatile compatibility: Cable management pathways, rear access options, and modular rail systems provide flexibility for numerous configurations. The enclosure is designed to hold a variety of 19-inch equipment with adjustable rails, enabling you to accommodate current devices and adapt to future SKUs without replacing the cabinet. This adaptability is especially valuable in institutions that frequently update devices or re-purpose spaces as needs evolve.

How to install APC NetShelter WX 9U Wall-mount Enclosure

  • Plan the installation location: Choose a sturdy wall with suitable load-bearing capacity and nearby power and network connections. Verify that the wall area has adequate clearance for door operation, cable entry, and maintenance access. Ensure the chosen site complies with local codes for electrical and data equipment installation.
  • Prepare mounting and hardware: Gather the appropriate wall anchors, screws, and hardware compatible with the wall type (drywall, masonry, concrete). If a mounting bracket or wall plate is recommended by APC for your specific wall surface, ensure you have it on hand or order it as an accessory.
  • Mount the enclosure to the wall: Secure the enclosure to the wall following the manufacturer’s guidelines, ensuring it is plumb and level. Use multiple anchor points as required to distribute weight evenly and minimize wobble when doors are opened or equipment is serviced. Do not overtighten screws to avoid wall damage.
  • Install internal rails and accessories: Attach adjustable 19-inch rack rails inside the enclosure. Position rails to accommodate the height of the devices you plan to install. Include any cable management troughs, organizers, or accessory brackets as needed to create a clean and efficient internal layout for your devices and cabling.
  • Route cables and power selectively: Plan a cable path from power sources, network equipment, and peripheral devices. Use rear cutouts or cable managers to optimize airflow and ease future upgrades. Leave extra slack where necessary to account for device removal or replacement during maintenance events.
  • Install equipment and seal the enclosure: Mount servers, switches, and storage devices onto the rails, ensuring balanced weight distribution. Connect power and network cables, then organize cables with ties or guides to prevent tangling. Close and lock the front door, verify access control, and perform a basic power-on test to confirm function and airflow.
  • Validate cooling and accessibility: Confirm that ventilation paths are not obstructed and that devices reach stable operating temperatures. Check that the door remains easy to open and close under standard use, and ensure that any optional cooling features or fans operate as intended in your environment.
