APC by Schneider Electric AR8184 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AR8184 is a 300mm black cable partition designed for top-mounting in server or network racks. It provides a physical barrier to separate and organize data and power cabling, preventing tangles and improving airflow within the rack. This accessory is crucial for maintaining a clean, manageable, and efficient rack environment, especially in dense deployments where cable congestion can impact performance and accessibility. The AR8184 model specifically addresses cable management needs at the upper section of standard 19-inch racks.

Compatibility

This cable partition is designed for use with standard 19-inch rack systems. It mounts to the top of the rack structure, providing a horizontal separation point for cables entering or exiting the rack. While not specific to any particular server or network device manufacturer, it is intended for general rack infrastructure where organized cable routing is required. It is compatible with racks that have standard top mounting points.

Installation Notes

The AR8184 mounts at the top of a 19-inch rack. Mounting preference is listed as 'No preference', indicating it can be attached to various top configurations as long as they provide suitable attachment points. It is explicitly noted as 'Not rack-mountable', meaning it is an accessory that attaches to the rack structure, not a component that slides into rack rails. The unit dimensions are 5.09 inches (12.93 cm) high. The partition is black.
