APC AR7742 NetShelter SX 42U Duct Kit for Nexus 7018 | Rack Cooling

Control airflow in high-density rack environments with a duct kit engineered for the NetShelter SX 42U platform and Cisco Nexus 7018 switch chassis. In racks where thermal behavior can affect uptime, this kit helps guide air through the intended path instead of letting it recirculate around dense equipment. APC supplies side airflow ducts, side baffles, foam gasket strips, baying hardware, mounting hardware, and an installation guide so the kit can be integrated into the rack without piecing together separate components. That matters in production environments where airflow consistency is part of the design, not an afterthought. This duct kit is aimed at power-dense racks and low-pressure areas where cooling efficiency depends on controlling the air path. For teams deploying Nexus switching in standardized NetShelter SX infrastructure, it supports cleaner thermal separation and more predictable rack behavior. The result is a more disciplined airflow layout that helps protect performance under sustained load. With a 2-year warranty and environmentally friendly designation, it fits enterprise deployments that value both operational control and procurement confidence. Choose it when the rack design needs more than open space and fans — it needs directed airflow built around the hardware.
