APC by Schneider Electric Inrow OA END Aisle Containment KIT - 48U - ACAC11009

APC by Schneider Electric ACAC11009 InRow OA END Aisle Containment KIT - 48U

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric ACAC11009 is a 48U rack-mount aisle containment kit designed for end-aisle deployment. It functions as an air conditioner accessory, specifically to manage thermal conditions within data center racks by directing airflow. This unit is critical for optimizing cooling efficiency in high-density environments where heat buildup is a primary concern. By physically separating hot and cold air streams, it prevents mixing and ensures that cold air is delivered directly to the equipment inlets, reducing bypass airflow and improving overall cooling capacity. This specific model is intended for installation at the end of an aisle, working in conjunction with other containment components to create a fully enclosed hot or cold aisle.

Compatibility

This ACAC11009 unit is designed as a 48U rack-mount accessory. It is intended for use with APC by Schneider Electric's InRow cooling systems and other compatible rack enclosures that support end-aisle containment strategies. The form factor is specific to standard 19-inch server racks and requires adequate clearance at the end of the aisle for installation and operation. It integrates into a broader aisle containment solution, so compatibility with existing rack infrastructure and other containment panels is essential for effective deployment.

Installation Notes

The ACAC11009 mounts at the end of a rack aisle. Its dimensions are 14.3" L × 14.3" W × 9" H, requiring specific placement to ensure proper sealing and airflow management. The unit weighs 28.6 lb, necessitating secure installation. It is designed to work with standard 48U rack heights, providing a robust barrier for thermal management. Installation involves physically securing the unit to the rack structure and potentially integrating it with adjacent containment panels or doors to achieve a sealed environment.
