The APC AR3308B2 belongs to the second generation of Schneider Electric's NetShelter SX family, the company's premium 19-inch enclosure line for data centres, server rooms and edge sites. It provides 52U of EIA-310 mounting space in a 600 mm wide, 1200 mm deep frame that stands 2436 mm tall, a depth that comfortably houses modern long-chassis servers and storage with room left for rear cabling and PDUs.

The welded steel frame is rated for 1701 kg static and 1020.6 kg dynamic (rolling) load, and the 19-inch EIA mounting rails adjust in 6 mm increments, accepting equipment from 190.5 mm to 1048 mm deep. 2 full-height 0U accessory channels at the rear take vertical rack PDUs and cable managers without consuming rack units. The roof offers five large cable entry points (three front, two rear) and can be removed without tools.

The curved, reversible front door and the flat rear doors are 80% perforated for front-to-back airflow and swing up to 270° (180° when bayed). Split, lockable side panels and 3-point key locking secure the installation, and doors and side panels are keyed alike. Casters and levelling feet are factory-fitted, and baying hardware is included for building rows.

NetShelter SX Gen 2 enclosures are UL listed, RoHS and REACH compliant, and backed by a 5-year Schneider Electric warranty.
