APC by Schneider Electric ACF600 2U Rack Fan Panel
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric ACF600 is a 2U rack fan panel designed to enhance airflow and dissipate heat within standard server or network racks. This unit is critical for maintaining optimal operating temperatures for sensitive rack-mounted equipment, preventing thermal throttling and extending hardware lifespan. Its 2U form factor ensures compatibility with most standard 19-inch rack enclosures, making it a straightforward addition for environments housing AV, IT, or surveillance gear where heat management is paramount.
Compatibility
This fan panel is designed for use in standard 19-inch rack enclosures. It is compatible with APC's NetShelter SX, NetShelter WX, and NetShelter SV racks, as well as other industry-standard racks that accept 2U rack-mount accessories. While not specific to any single brand of rack-mounted equipment, its primary function is to improve the overall thermal environment for any gear installed within the rack, including network switches, servers, NVRs, and AV components.
Installation Notes
Installation involves mounting the ACF600 into two rack units (2U) of vertical space within a 19-inch rack. Standard rack mounting hardware (typically cage nuts and screws, often sold separately or included with the rack) is required. The unit draws power from the rack's PDU (Power Distribution Unit) via an integrated power cord. Ensure adequate clearance around the fan panel for unobstructed airflow. The fans are typically oriented to pull cool air from the front of the rack and exhaust warmer air towards the rear, complementing the rack's overall airflow strategy.
