APC ACF501 Rack Fan Tray Server Accessory

Active Cooling for NetShelter SX

The APC ACF501 is a rack-mount fan tray that installs in the roof of a NetShelter SX 600 mm enclosure to exhaust hot air. It can also be fitted in the base of wall-mounted units to reinforce bottom-to-top airflow. The tray operates from a standard 120 V AC supply at 50 Hz or 60 Hz and connects via a NEMA 5-15P plug. It provides a straightforward way to lower internal temperatures without major re-cabling.

Suited for single-rack heat loads.

This tray suits administrators running moderate workloads in a single NetShelter SX cabinet who need a simple, low-cost exhaust upgrade. It is not intended for high-density configurations that generate heat beyond the 440 CFM capacity, nor for enclosures that cannot accommodate the 2.36 in height requirement. Buyers needing redundant cooling or variable-speed control should look at other solutions.

440 CFM airflow at 51 dB(A)

The tray delivers a maximum airflow of 440 CFM while producing a maximum noise level of 51 dB(A). This single figure determines whether the unit can handle the thermal output of your installed equipment within acceptable acoustic limits. The physical footprint measures 2.36 x 22.60 x 35.00 in and weighs approximately 18.54 lb, so verify roof or base clearance before ordering.
