Apc AR2480 Netshelter Sv 42U 800mm Wide Cabinet

Product Description

The APC AR2480 is a 42U server cabinet enclosure designed for organized, secure equipment installation in data center and network room environments. Built around the NetShelter SV line, it provides a structured mounting framework for servers, patch panels, switches, and other rack-mount equipment. The cabinet ships at 800mm wide, offering additional side clearance compared to standard 600mm enclosures, which improves airflow management and cable routing around dense equipment deployments. Licensed electricians, data center technicians, and low-voltage structured cabling installers are the primary trades that work with this enclosure.

The AR2480 is suited for both new builds and retrofit installations in commercial data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets. The 42U height accommodates a full complement of 1U through 4U rack-mount devices, making it appropriate for mid-to-large equipment deployments. The 800mm wide footprint is commonly specified in environments where side-by-side hot aisle and cold aisle containment configurations are required or where high-density cabling demands additional lateral working space.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or data center infrastructure specialist. De-energize all equipment and discharge any UPS systems before mounting devices inside the enclosure. Follow local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for floor anchoring, overhead cable tray connections, and seismic bracing where applicable. Do not exceed the enclosure rated load capacity when populating rack-mount equipment.
