Install in standard 19-inch or 23-inch racks containing AP8000 Series PDUs to organize power cords and maintain clear airflow paths.
- Standard rack widths
- Multiple PDU support
- Airflow optimization
IT Infrastructure Upgrades
Use during rack refreshes or PDU installations to implement professional cable management practices from the initial deployment phase.
- New installation ready
- Retrofit compatible
- Professional appearance
Physical Profile
The black powder-coated finish provides both aesthetic consistency with rack hardware and corrosion resistance for long-term durability. The bracket's slim 1.50-inch width minimizes rack space consumption while the 30.12-inch depth accommodates standard rack depths. The mounting design allows for straightforward installation using common rack hardware, with the lightweight construction facilitating handling during the mounting process.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 17.52" (445 mm), 1.50" (38 mm), 30.12" (765.05 mm), 9.92 oz (281.23 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
