APC NetShelter SX 208-230VAC 50/60Hz Roof Fan Tray (Black)

Overview

The APC ACF502 is a roof-mounted fan tray designed specifically for NetShelter SX enclosures measuring 600 millimetres wide by 1070 millimetres deep. It serves to exhaust warm air through the top of the rack, maintaining a consistent bottom-to-top airflow that helps keep servers, switches, and storage arrays within safe operating temperatures. Operating on 208 to 230 volts at 50 or 60 hertz, it integrates seamlessly into global power systems without the need for additional converters.

Installation is simple: the fan tray fits into the roof opening of the enclosure and connects to an available power source. Once powered, it continuously draws heat upward, enhancing the efficiency of room air-conditioning systems and reducing the risk of hotspots in high-density IT environments.
