APC ACF501

Overview

The APC ACF501 is a roof-mounted fan tray designed specifically for NetShelter SX enclosures measuring 600 millimeters wide and 1070 millimeters deep. It serves to improve airflow by drawing warm air upward through the cabinet, helping maintain safe operating temperatures for network and server equipment. With an airflow capacity of up to 440 cubic feet per minute and a noise level of just 51 decibels, it balances effective cooling with quiet operation, making it suitable for environments like branch offices, small data rooms, and broadcast booths.

Installation and setup

The fan tray is designed for quick and straightforward installation, attaching to the roof panel of compatible NetShelter SX enclosures without the need for tools. This tool-less mounting system leverages pre-existing points on the cabinet, allowing IT staff to install the unit in just a few minutes. Because it arrives fully assembled, there is no need for additional assembly steps, minimizing downtime and disruption to your network environment.

Ideal uses and environments

This fan tray is well suited for small to medium-sized IT environments where maintaining optimal temperature is critical but noise levels must remain low. It works effectively in branch offices, small data rooms, and broadcast booths where people work close to the equipment. By promoting bottom-to-top airflow, it helps extend the life of sensitive network and server hardware by preventing heat buildup inside the enclosure.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
