APC by Schneider Electric AR8172WHT Data Cable Partition
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric AR8172WHT is a 750mm wide cable management panel designed to maintain clean cable runs and optimize airflow within standard server racks. By segmenting cable pathways, it prevents tangles and snags, which is critical for maintaining network integrity and simplifying maintenance in dense IT environments. Its white color offers a clean aesthetic, often preferred in professional data center or network closet installations. This panel addresses the common challenge of cable sprawl that can impede cooling and lead to connection issues.
Compatibility
This cable partition is designed for use with 750mm wide server racks, commonly found in data center and enterprise network deployments. It is compatible with most standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment, ensuring broad integration within existing infrastructure. Specifically, it fits APC NetShelter racks and similar cabinet footprints that accommodate this width.
Installation Notes
Installation involves mounting the panel using standard rack-mount hardware, typically M6 screws and cage nuts (not included). The panel's 7.2 cm depth allows for significant cable bundling without protruding excessively into the rack's usable equipment space. Ensure the rack is empty or equipment is powered down before installation to avoid accidental disconnections or damage.
