APC by Schneider Electric AR8728 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AR8728 is a 2U vertical cable manager designed to maintain order and accessibility within standard 19-inch server racks. This unit mounts vertically, occupying two rack units, and provides a structured pathway for routing and organizing network and power cables. Its design prevents cable strain and simplifies access for maintenance or future expansion, crucial in dense IT environments where cable spaghetti can lead to airflow issues and troubleshooting delays. The AR8728 is specifically suited for installations where horizontal space is limited or where a clean, professional aesthetic is required.

Compatibility

This vertical cable manager is designed for use with standard 19-inch rack systems. It is compatible with APC's NetShelter SX, NetShelter WX, and NetShelter SV rack enclosures. While not specific to any particular brand of network or server equipment, its 2U form factor ensures it fits within the mounting rails of most enterprise-grade racks, providing a universal solution for cable organization.

Installation Notes

Installation involves mounting the unit to the vertical rails of a 19-inch rack using standard rack mounting hardware (typically M6 or 10-32 screws, depending on the rack). The unit occupies 2U of vertical space. Ensure sufficient clearance is available in front of and behind the rack for cable routing. No specialized tools are required beyond a standard rack screw tool or Phillips head screwdriver.
