A local business offered one of these up for free

And I love it vehemently. It is my first 42u rack and after filling a 12u x 2 I am very happy to have it all in one box by the end of this coming weekend.

Excellent Upgrade

Wanted to optimize the space in our rack room, so we went with this enclosure to allow for more available space for air flow and potentially other racks. Haven't run into any issues yet and has solved the problem we had

The definition of Solid

In my role I have had the opportunity to lay hands on data center racks from multiple manufacturers over the years. Without a doubt APC gets my endorsement hands down. They are carefully packaged and shipped so as to avoid any damage in transit. Thanks to the clear instructions, unpacking and installing is easier than an IKEA nightstand, and once in place you can count on years of faithful service. Durability is second to none and the care in design becomes obvious once the cabinet is in play as the features built in place this rack head and shoulders above all comers. No regrets.

My Go to Cabinet

I am the VP of a small ISV and I have had an opportunity to work with many manufacturers racks. I find the NetShelter SX 42U to be the easiest to work on and has the best suite of options available on the market. I will continue to pick these for deployments and now I understand they are being sold as Dell as their primary rack now that the Dell 4220 has been discontinued.

World's most versatile rack enclosure
The NetShelter SX is a multi-functional rack enclosure influenced by customer feedback from around the world. These enclosures are designed to meet current IT market trends and applications ranging from high density computing and networking to broadcast and audio-video. With a strong focus on cooling, power distribution, cable management and environmental monitoring, the NetShelter SX rack enclosure provides a reliable rack-mounting environment for mission-critical equipment.

Features

Compatibility

Integrated with InfraStruxure products
Schneider Electric cooling, power distribution, and cable management products work seamlessly with IT enclosures to provide a complete infrastructure support system.

Schneider Electric Rack Systems Compatible
Compatible with a variety of Schneider Electric rack accessory products to provide the ability to create a complete rack system. Configure rack solutions using industry leading Schneider Electric Design Portal - Small IT Solution Designer configurator complete with verification of product compatibility and useful 3rd party equipment catalog to aid in visualizing your ideal rack solution.

Optimized for high capacity cable management systems
NetShelter SX enclosures are optimized for use with high capacity cable management systems that attach to equipment mounting rails inside enclosures aligning with equipment mounting u-spaces and provide channels for routing and managing cabling.

Vendor-neutral EIA-310 19" Rack Mounting Compatibility Guaranteed
Vendor-neutral mounting for guaranteed compatibility with all EIA-310 compliant 19" equipment. The "Fits Like a Glove" money back guarantee provides peace of mind that all of your EIA-310-E compliant rack-mount equipment will physically fit in a NetShelter.

Convenience

Cable access openings with pre-installed brushes
Large cable access slots in the roof provides access for overhead cable egress. The bottom design allows for unobstructed cable access through a raised floor. Roof includes openings with brush strips pre-installed in locations biased towards the front of the enclosure to allow for data cable passthrough and provisions for air containment.

Simple Selection
No need to spend hours choosing from and compiling dozens of part numbers to create a single enclosure. Schneider Electric has made it easy by handling the details and providing complete enclosures with single part numbers.

Perforated front door with curved profile
Perforated front and rear doors provide ample ventilation for servers and networking equipment. Front door perforated area is optimized with a curved profile to provide greater surface area and allowance of more perforation coverage and higher perforation rating.

Quick release doors
Front door can be moved to the opposite side or interchanged with rear doors. Doors are easily removed with simple lift-off design.

Half-height side panels and option with brush strips for pass-through
Half-height quick release side panels reduce size and weight for easy handling and access to equipment. Side panels are lockable utilizing a single key with the doors. Now available are side panel options integrated with pass-through holes and brush strips for routing cabling to adjacent racks in a row while still maintaining proper airflow.

Easily removable cable access roof
Roof can be removed with simple pull-pin hinges for access during equipment installation or even with cabling already in place and routed through the cable openings. Once removed the roof is reversible to reposition the larger cable openings for power distribution plugs and connectors.

Eyebolt support integrated into enclosure frame
Integrated eyebolt holes at the top of the enclosure frame allow the enclosure to be lifted for movement and enclosure placement using eyebolt lifting mechanisms. Refer to enclosure user documentation for detailed specifications on eyebolt requirements and enclosure weight limits.

Equipment mounting rails integrate with patch cabling systems
Equipment mounting rails include zero U mounting holes beside the EIA 19" mounting space that allow the installation of Data Distribution Cable (DDC) patch systems without taking up any critical equipment U-space.

Enclosure adjustment tools and hardware provided
All enclosures are provided standard with hardware bag that includes hardware for mounting IT equipment and tools for simple enclosure adjustment.

Agility

Pre-installed full-enclosure height rear accessory channels
Integrated and adjustable rear accessory channel provides zero U mounting locations for toolless accessories. Each channel has two mounting bays to support a combination of up to four accessories such as PDUs and vertical cable organizers. 42" (1070mm) networking enclosures include two channels. Channels are pre-installed at the factory in the rear of the enclosure but can be moved to other locations of the enclosure along the side brace to resituate cable management where it is needed most.

Adjustable mounting rails with captive hardware and rapid alignment
The vertical mounting rails can be adjusted in 1/4" (6.4mm) increments covering virtually any mounting requirement for IT equipment. Easy alignment feature integrated into the enclosure mounting rail and side brace for quick alignment verification without the use of tools to verify alignment. U positions are numbered front and back for rapid installation of equipment.

Split rear doors
Split rear doors improve access and serviceability to rear of rack mounted equipment. The split rear doors help to maximize floor space. Only 11" (279mm) of clearance is required behind the enclosures to allow for door swing.

Low-profile castors and adjustable leveling feet from underneath or above
Enclosures are shipped standard with both leveling feet and castors. Leveling feet can be quickly adjusted through the use of a screwdriver or drill, eliminating the need to reach underneath with a wrench.

Integrated joining hardware with multiple width enclosure alignment
Enclosures include pre-installed joining hardware to join enclosures in a row and provide additional stability to the enclosure. The pre-installed joining hardware includes holes for joining to an adjacent enclosure at 600mm centers or 24" centers depending upon the floor layout.

Safety

Designed for enhanced structural stability
A proven frame design, heavy-gauge mounting rails, and heavy-duty casters provide for 3750 lbs (1701kg) static levelling feet and 2250 lbs (1023kg) dynamic castor load ratings. Enclosures have been tested and approved to be combined with proper bolt down accessories to meet various seismic requirements.

Integrated electrical grounding
The roof, side panels and front and rear doors are grounded to the frame of the enclosure. Eight additional electrical grounding inserts are located on the frame for external grounding.
