APC NetShelter SX 42U 750mm x 1200mm Deep Enclosure with Sides

The APC NetShelter SX 42U 750mm×1200mm Deep Enclosure is a purpose-engineered rack system designed to accommodate the thermal and spatial demands of GPU-accelerated servers, storage arrays, and AI infrastructure. The 1200mm depth accommodates full-length enterprise server platforms and deep storage subsystems, while the 750mm width maintains standard 19-inch rail compatibility. Integrated cable management, passive airflow optimization, and modular side panels enable flexible cooling strategies critical for high-power-density deployments.

Architecturally, the enclosure features welded steel construction with integrated ground studs, adjustable mounting rails, and reinforced vertical members rated for distributed equipment loads typical of GPU clusters. The removable/configurable side panels support both hot-aisle containment and open-air deployment scenarios. Rear and front door configurations accommodate standard 1U–4U appliances, switches, and cable distribution frames. The unit ships fully assembled with cable routing channels pre-installed.

Since its 2019 introduction, this model has become the de facto standard for hyperscaler, AI cluster, and edge-compute facility deployments. High demand persistence reflects both sustained GPU server adoption and the enclosure's thermal efficiency in environments where per-rack power density regularly exceeds 15 kW.

Ideal for

• GPU cluster compute environments supporting machine learning training and inference workloads requiring multiple high-power accelerators per node
• Enterprise data-warehouse storage deployments consolidating SAN, NAS, and object-storage tiers into single-rack footprints
• AI research facilities and academic institutions standardizing on dense compute infrastructure for model development
• Hyperscaler and cloud-provider data-center buildouts where rack-level standardization reduces operational variance
• Edge colocation and hybrid-cloud facilities requiring modular, thermally optimized enclosure designs
• High-frequency trading and real-time analytics platforms demanding low-latency, high-throughput server consolidation
