Whether you’re upgrading an existing rack or planning for future equipment additions, these split feed-through side panels offer modularity that makes changes simpler, faster, and less disruptive to your evolving rack space.

• Advanced compatibility and fit — specifically engineered for NetShelter SX 48U racks with a depth of 1070 mm, these side panels align precisely with your enclosure’s rails and side frames, ensuring a clean, secure installation. The split-feed-through design enables efficient pass-through for cables and power cords without compromising the integrity of the rack door or frame, making it ideal for dense cabling scenarios and high-density equipment configurations.
• Durable construction for data-center reliability — manufactured from rugged steel and finished with a durable black powder coat, these panels withstand the rough handling and environmental demands of data-center environments. The robust build helps minimize vibration and flex, supporting long-term rack stability and the protection of housed equipment against incidental contact or impact.
• Optimized cable management and airflow — the split-feed-through design is purpose-built to streamline cable routing while preserving airflow paths. By separating power and data paths and providing clear channels for cabling, the panels reduce cable clutter, improve organization, and help maintain efficient cooling for servers, switches, storage devices, and other critical components. This leads to better thermal performance and easier maintenance windows.
• Simple, tool-friendly installation — engineered for quick, hassle-free mounting, these panels use standard rack mounting holes and straightforward attachment methods. The two-panel pack is designed to be installed with minimal disruption to active equipment, allowing IT staff to expand or reconfigure racks with confidence and speed. The result is a tidy, professional look that minimizes downtime during upgrades or reconfigurations.
• Two-panel package for scalable deployments — offered as a two-panel set, this kit provides the flexibility to tailor your NetShelter SX enclosure to your exact needs. As your server, storage, and network gear evolves, you can add or reposition panels to maintain an organized, scalable rack environment. The black finish blends with most existing rack ecosystems, maintaining a cohesive aesthetic across your data center or office server room.

How to install NetShelter SX 48U Split Feed Through Side Panels

Follow these practical steps to install the 2-pack split feed-through side panels on your NetShelter SX 48U rack with a depth of 1070 mm. This method is designed to minimize downtime while ensuring a secure, professional result that maintains cooling and accessibility for your equipment.

Step 1: Prepare and verify compatibility. Before beginning, confirm that your enclosure is a NetShelter SX 48U rack and that the depth is 1070 mm. Inspect the panels for any shipping damage or manufacturing defects. Have the appropriate mounting hardware on hand, compatible with standard NetShelter SX side-mounting points.

Step 2: Align the panels with the rack frame. Position the two panels along the left and right sides of the rack, ensuring that the top and bottom edges align with the corresponding rails. Check that any cutouts or pass-through openings line up with the intended cable routes. Clear any obstructions around the side rails to facilitate a smooth installation.

Step 3: Attach using standard mounting holes. Using the appropriate screws or bolts for NetShelter SX enclosures, secure each panel to the rack’s side rails. Start with one corner to ensure that the panel sits flush, then work your way along the edge, tightening gradually to avoid cross-threading. Do not overtighten, as this can warp the panel or the rack frame. If your installation requires a specific hardware type, refer to your rack’s mounting guidelines and reconcile with the hardware provided with your kit.

Step 4: Confirm alignment and clearance. After securing both panels, re-check alignment across the top, middle, and bottom sections. Ensure there is no interference with doors, hinges, or adjacent equipment. Open and close the rack doors to confirm smooth operation and verify that the split-feed-through design permits easy cabling access without binding or binding against other components.

Step 5: Route cables and finalize setup. Begin routing power and data cables through the panel pass-through channels. Keep power and data paths separated where possible to reduce electromagnetic interference and to simplify maintenance. Use cable ties or management accessories to maintain tidy runs and ensure airflow remains unobstructed. Perform a final check with live equipment to confirm that the cabling does not impede airflow or door operation.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Are these panels compatible with all NetShelter SX racks?

A: These split feed-through side panels are designed specifically for NetShelter SX 48U racks with a 1070 mm depth. For other NetShelter SX configurations, verify the depth and mounting compatibility before purchasing. If in doubt, consult the NetShelter SX product documentation or contact support to confirm fit for your exact model and depth.

Q: Do the panels come as a pair?

A: Yes. The product is packaged as a two-panel set, providing both left and right side coverage to maintain a balanced, secure enclosure for your equipment and cabling needs.

Q: Can I install these panels on an existing rack without tools?

A: Installation requires standard rack mounting hardware and basic tools suitable for mounting to NetShelter SX side rails. While no exotic tools are typically needed, having the appropriate screws or bolts and a screwdriver or hex wrench will speed up installation. If you’re unsure about hardware compatibility, refer to your rack’s mounting guidelines or reach out to support for assistance.

Q: Do the panels affect airflow or cooling performance?

A: The split feed-through design is intended to support organized cabling while preserving efficient airflow. By separating or routing cables through the pass-through channels, you can reduce cable clutter and maintain unobstructed front-to-back airflow, contributing to steady cooling and reduced hotspots within the rack. Proper cable management practices are still essential for optimal airflow and equipment performance.
