APC by Schneider Electric AR8462 Ladder Angle Clamp KIT
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric AR8462 is a metallic panel kit designed to provide angled mounting for equipment on ladder racks. This accessory facilitates easier access and cable management in data center or network closet environments where equipment needs to be positioned at a specific angle for optimal usability. The AR8462 model specifically addresses the need for secure, angled attachment of non-rack-mountable panels or devices within these structured cabling systems. Its metallic finish ensures durability and a professional appearance.
Compatibility
This ladder angle clamp kit is designed for general-purpose use with standard ladder racking systems. While not specific to any particular server or network equipment series, it is intended for mounting panels or devices that do not conform to standard 19-inch rack dimensions or require an angled orientation. It serves as a versatile mounting solution for various non-rack-mountable accessories and components within a structured cabling infrastructure.
Installation Notes
The APC AR8462 requires a ladder rack system for installation. Its design allows for clamping onto the rungs of the ladder rack, creating an angled surface. The unit has dimensions of 51 mm width, 13 mm height, and a maximum depth of 12.7 cm (0.51 inches). Installation involves securing the clamp to the ladder rack, then attaching the desired panel or equipment to the clamp's surface. No specific tools beyond those typically used for rack mounting are usually required, though a torque wrench may be advisable for optimal security depending on the ladder rack type.
