Cable Management

As the number of IT components within each rack enclosure continues to increase, so do the number of power and data cables. Traditionally, overhead cable trays and under-floor cabling systems limit flexibility and adaptability. Under- floor plenum material is costly and resource-intensive to install, and under-floor branch circuits can negatively effect air distribution.

Recognizing these challenges, APC responded with a comprehensive selection of optional components that allows users to pick the ideal cable management solution for their particular IT environment. Accessories such as shielded power cable troughs and data partitions create self-contained cabling, eliminating the need to use space under a raised floor and permitting better organization in non-raised floor environments.
