NetShelter Partition Pass-Through 750mm

The APC AR8173BLK is a black shielding partition designed for NetShelter enclosures and four-post racks. It enables overhead routing of networking cables across the roof of the cabinet. Two partitions attach without tools to accommodate a variety of rack depths. The unit ships with ground studs and a 203mm grounding strap for protective grounding provisions.

Tool-Less Mounting For Cable Routing

The partition secures to the enclosure roof without tools, allowing quick installation or reconfiguration when cable layouts change. A built-in cable access hole lets leads pass through the shielding barrier while maintaining separation. Ground studs and the included 203mm strap provide a consistent grounding path across the assembly. The design supports sustained cable management without permanent fasteners.

Check Rack Compatibility And Depth

Verify that your NetShelter enclosure or four-post rack accepts roof-mounted partitions before ordering. Confirm the available roof depth matches the partition mounting range for a secure fit. Ensure the 750mm width aligns with your cabinet dimensions. Plan cable volumes to suit the single pass-through opening provided.

Questions about this item

Does the 750 mm wide pass-through partition generate any noise, heat or power draw when installed on a NetShelter enclosure?

No — the APC AR8173BLK is a passive metal partition with no fans, electronics or moving parts, so it produces no noise, no heat and draws no power.

What existing rack hardware must I already own for the tool-less mounting to work?

You need a compatible NetShelter enclosure or 4-post rack roof with the standard mounting points that accept the two tool-less brackets supplied with the partition.

Will the 203 mm grounding strap reach the grounding points on an older NetShelter SX cabinet I plan to keep?

The included 203 mm strap is designed for the standard roof stud spacing on current NetShelter models; on older SX cabinets you may need a longer strap if the grounding points are further apart.
