AR3100 — APC NetShelter SX/SV 19-Inch Server Rack 24U–48U
The APC NetShelter SX is the world's best-selling 19-inch server rack enclosure, engineered by Schneider Electric to the highest standards of structural integrity, airflow management, and cable organisation for data centre and IT room deployments from 24U to 48U. The NetShelter SX's perforated front and rear doors achieve 77% open area — significantly higher than many competing racks — producing a low-restriction airflow path that keeps inlet air temperatures at industry-standard hot aisle/cold aisle differentials even at high IT power densities above 10 kW per rack. The welded frame withstands 1360 kg of static load and is seismically rated to IBC 2012 Zone 4, satisfying the structural requirements of Saudi Arabia's seismic zone 2 building code applicable to critical facilities in the western region.
The NetShelter SX ships with adjustable depth from 900 mm to 1070 mm to accommodate deep 1U servers, UPS units, and patch panel combinations, and includes a full suite of cable management accessories: horizontal and vertical cable managers, blanking panels in 1U and 2U sizes, and pre-installed D-rings. The 19-inch EIA-310 rail system accommodates all standard rack equipment from 1U switches to large UPS frames, and the side panels are tool-lessly removable for fast equipment access. The NetShelter SV variant provides an economical option at slightly reduced static load rating (906 kg) for lighter-density deployments.
In Saudi Arabia, NetShelter racks are the standard enclosure in ARAMCO IT infrastructure projects, SEC substation automation server rooms, and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) data centre standardisation programme. They are specified by Riyadh's major system integrators — including SITC, Al-Jammaz Distribution, and local Schneider partners — for commercial building IT room fit-outs, branch office server rooms, and the rapidly expanding edge computing nodes being deployed across Vision 2030 smart city projects.
Razz Middle East carries NetShelter SX 42U and 48U configurations as standard stock, with 24U and 36U available on short lead times. We supply complete rack solutions including matched APC PDUs, blanking panels, cable management kits, and KVM switches, and provide professional rack installation services across Saudi Arabia.

Key Features & Benefits
- 77% open area perforated front and rear doors minimise airflow restriction, maintaining low server inlet temperatures at rack power densities above 10 kW per rack in hot aisle/cold aisle configurations.
- 1360 kg static load capacity and IBC 2012 Zone 4 seismic rating satisfy Saudi Arabia's building code structural requirements for server room equipment in seismically active western region facilities.
- Adjustable depth from 900 mm to 1070 mm accommodates deep 1U servers, tower UPS units, and cable management panels in the same rack without compromising airflow or cable routing.
- Tool-less side panel removal provides fast lateral equipment access without disturbing adjacent racks, reducing maintenance time for field technicians working in dense data room environments.
- Integrated cable management channels with pre-installed D-rings and optional vertical cable managers produce clean, documented wiring that simplifies future adds, moves, and changes.
- Modular accessory ecosystem — blanking panels, PDUs, cable managers, KVM drawers — all from a single manufacturer, ensuring dimensional compatibility and eliminating integration issues.
- Side-by-side alignment brackets and interlocking bolt kits enable multi-rack row construction with consistent alignment and shared side panels, reducing material cost for large data hall builds.
