APC AR3100 – NetShelter SX 42u Server Rack

APC AR3100 NetShelter SX 42u Server Rack

Overview

The APC AR3100 NetShelter SX, available through DC Supplies, is the industry-standard 42U server rack enclosure designed to house high-density server, networking, and storage equipment. It addresses the critical requirements of modern data centers by providing a secure, vendor-neutral environment with optimized airflow management. This enclosure solves common infrastructure challenges such as cable congestion and thermal stratification in row-based deployments.

Engineered with 19-inch wide mounting rails, the AR3100 supports a broad range of IT hardware from major manufacturers. It is primarily deployed in enterprise data centers, colocation facilities, and network closets. The enclosure features pre-installed casters and leveling feet, allowing for rapid deployment and precise alignment within a server row.

This unit is compatible with the full ecosystem of APC Schneider Electric cooling and power distribution products. It should not be used in environments where the total static load exceeds 3750 lbs or in specialized outdoor locations, as its IP20 rating is intended for indoor, climate-controlled environments.
