APC by Schneider Electric AR8573 Perforated Cover Cable Trough 300MM

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AR8573 is a 300mm wide perforated cover cable trough designed to manage and organize network cabling within IT racks. This accessory is crucial for maintaining proper airflow by preventing cable bundles from obstructing ventilation paths, thereby supporting the thermal management of sensitive networking and server equipment. Its perforated design allows for air circulation while providing a physical barrier to keep cables tidy and protected.

Compatibility

This cable trough is designed for use with standard 19-inch IT racks. It is compatible with APC NetShelter SX, NetShelter SV, and NetShelter WX enclosures, as well as other standard rack systems. While not specific to any particular vendor's active equipment, its 300mm width and mounting system are intended for general rack infrastructure, supporting the cabling for switches, routers, servers, and other rack-mounted devices.

Installation Notes

Installation involves securing the trough to the vertical mounting rails of a 19-inch rack using standard rack mounting hardware (typically M6 or 10-32 screws and cage nuts, not included). The perforated cover attaches to the trough base, allowing for easy access to cables for routing or maintenance without complete removal. Ensure adequate clearance is available within the rack for the 300mm width and its depth.
