NetShelter CX
APC by Schneider Electrics’ NetShelter CX enclosures offer a soundproofed server room in a box, allowing for rapid and standardised IT deployments wherever and whenever it is needed, saving space, cost and deployment time.
Designed for offices and any non-IT spaces where there isn’t the room, the time or the budget to build dedicated IT zone NetShelter CX server enclosures are an ultra-portable, secure, economic, plug-and-play IT solution.
NetShelter SV
The NetShelter SV range of racks and enclosures include all of the essential features and functionality you need to meet the fundamental requirements of rack-mounted IT equipment.
NetShelter SV is the IT enclosure you have become familiar with from APC by Schneider Electric, but it now offers flexible, basic functionality and features to maximise cost-effectiveness.
Despite the attractive price the NetShelter SV rack range maintains a strong focus on energy efficient cooling, power distribution, and cable management to provide a reliable rack-mounting environment for mission-critical IT and data centre equipment.
Additional features such as side panels are optional and there is a self-assembly option to minimise the cost of base enclosure installation.
NetShelter Basic Rack PDUs
Schneider Electric basic rack PDUs provide reliable rack power distribution via a single input with multiple output receptacles. They also distribute power from low amp, single-phase circuits to higher-power three-phase solutions.
NetShelter Metered Rack PDUs
NetShelter Metered Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) actively monitor power supply to enable energy optimisation and circuit protection. User-defined alarms reduce risk while real-time local and remote alerts warn of potential circuit overloads.
Metered Rack PDUs provide power-use data to allow data centre managers to make informed decisions on load balancing and right sizing IT environments, offering a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Users can access and configure Metered Rack PDUs through secure Web, SNMP, or Telnet interfaces which are complimented by Centralised Management platforms including EcoStruxure IT next-generation data centre infrastructure management (DCIM) software, offering greater efficiency, reducing energy consumption and lower operating costs.
New AP8000 series Metered Rack PDUs include real power monitoring, a temperature/humidity sensor port, locking IEC receptacles, and ultra-low profile circuit breakers.
NetShelter Switched Rack PDUs
The NetShelter Switched Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) enable advanced, user-customisable power control and active monitoring.
Remote outlet-level controls allow power to be switched on/off for power cycling to remotely reboot equipment and prevent human-error by restricting unauthorised use of individual outlets.
Power sequencing time delays allow users to define the order in which to power up or down attached equipment to avoid circuit overload, while current metering provides real-time remote monitoring of connected loads, with user-defined alarms to warn of potential circuit overloads and outages.
NetShelter Automatic Transfer Switches
NetShelter Rack Automatic Transfer Switches (rack ATS) provide reliable, redundant rack mount power to single-corded equipment.
The NetShelter rack ATS has dual input power cords supplying power to the connected load. If the primary power source becomes unavailable, the ATS will seamlessly source power from the secondary source without interrupting critical loads, ensuring protection against downtime.
NetShelter Rack ATS has built-in network connectivity, which allows for remote management via web, SNMP, or Telnet interfaces.
NetShelter SX
The NetShelter SX range features multi-functional rack enclosures designed to meet the latest IT market trends and applications, ranging from traditional IT, high density computing and networking to broadcast and audio-video.
NetShelter SX has a strong focus on interoperability with UPS, cooling, power distribution, cable management, aisle containment and environmental monitoring. Its design has been influenced by customer feedback from around the world, meaning it provides one of the most comprehensive and popular rack solutions in the market.
