APC by Schneider Electric AR8164ABLK Cable Ladder
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric AR8164ABLK is a 120-inch (3023mm) long, 6-inch (15cm) wide cable ladder designed for structured cable management within server racks and network enclosures. Its black finish integrates cleanly into most data center aesthetics. This ladder provides a dedicated pathway for routing and organizing network and power cables, preventing tangles and improving airflow, which is critical for maintaining optimal operating temperatures for IT equipment. The AR8164ABLK model specifically includes a bracket kit for secure mounting.
Compatibility
This cable ladder is designed for use with standard 19-inch wide server racks and network enclosures. While not specific to a particular brand of rack, it is intended to provide a robust cable management solution for environments housing APC racks, other major rack manufacturers' equipment, or any standard 19-inch rack system. Its 6-inch width accommodates moderate to high cable densities.
Installation Notes
Installation requires mounting the included brackets to the vertical posts of a standard 19-inch rack. The ladder then attaches to these brackets. Ensure the rack structure can support the weight of the ladder and the cables it will carry. The ladder itself has a maximum depth of 5.1 cm (2 inches) and a height of 3023 mm (120 inches). No specific tools are mandated by the evidence, but standard rack installation tools are implied.
