Overview

The APC AR8173BLK is a black data cable partition pass-through designed for use within APC NetShelter racks. This accessory facilitates the organized routing of networking cables between rack-mounted equipment and external cable pathways, preventing tangles and ensuring airflow. It's specifically intended for deployments where clean cable management is critical for system reliability and maintenance, such as in enterprise data centers or network closets. The AR8173BLK model provides a dedicated point for cables to pass through a rack partition.

Compatibility

This pass-through is designed for integration with APC NetShelter SX, NetShelter WX, and NetShelter ES rack enclosures. It is intended for use with standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment and networking infrastructure where cable management is a primary concern.

Installation Notes

Installation requires mounting the pass-through within an available rack space, typically between rack-mount equipment or at the front/rear of the rack. The unit is designed to be secured using standard rack mounting hardware. A grounding strap is included to ensure proper electrical grounding of the installed pass-through, which is essential for preventing static discharge and ensuring data integrity.
