APC by Schneider Electric AR201 2-Post Rack

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AR201 is a black 2-post rack designed for open-frame mounting of IT and networking equipment. It provides 18U of vertical space, making it suitable for small server closets, network distribution points, or telecom installations where a full-size enclosed rack is not required or feasible. This rack offers a stable platform for patch panels, switches, and other standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment.

Compatibility

This rack is designed to accommodate standard 19-inch rack-width equipment. It is compatible with network switches, patch panels, routers, and other IT hardware that adheres to EIA-310 rack-mounting standards. The 18U height allows for a significant density of devices in a compact footprint.

Installation Notes

The AR201 requires floor anchoring for stability, especially when loaded with equipment. Ensure the mounting surface is level and capable of supporting the weight of the rack and its contents. Standard rack-mount hardware (cage nuts and screws) is typically required for securing equipment, which are sold separately.
