Cable Containment Brackets APC AR7710

The APC AR7710 Cable Containment Brackets by Schneider Electric provide a robust solution for organizing power and data cables within server rack environments. These brackets are engineered to maintain a clean and structured cable layout, which is essential for optimizing space and ensuring the longevity of your networking infrastructure. With a durable black finish, these components integrate seamlessly into standard rack setups, offering a professional appearance while facilitating efficient cable routing.

Advantages

These containment brackets offer significant benefits for data center and server room management by providing dedicated mounting provisions for vertical power distribution units. The design allows for the installation of up to four vertical rack PDUs on a single side, maximizing the utility of your rack space. Featuring quick-release tabs and tool-less mounting capabilities, the brackets allow for rapid installation and adjustments without the need for specialized hardware. This vertical mounting approach effectively clears cable clutter, which in turn improves airflow and simplifies maintenance tasks by making individual cables more accessible.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms
• Vertical power distribution unit mounting
• Organizing high-density data and power cabling
• Environments requiring improved rack airflow

When it may not be suitable

These brackets are specifically designed for vertical mounting within compatible rack systems and may not be suitable for wall-mounted enclosures or racks that lack the necessary mounting points. They are not intended for use with non-standard power distribution units that do not support tool-less mounting interfaces.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 80 x 45 x 112 mm
• Weight: 450 g
• Color: Black
• Mounting type: Vertical, tool-less
• Capacity: Up to four vertical PDUs per side

How to use

To install the APC AR7710 brackets, identify the vertical mounting rails within your server rack. Align the tool-less mounting mechanism with the designated slots on the rack frame. Press the bracket firmly into place until the quick-release tabs engage, securing the unit. Once mounted, you can attach your vertical power distribution units directly to the brackets. Route your cables through the containment area to ensure they are neatly organized and kept away from critical airflow paths.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your specific rack model and vertical mounting rail spacing.
• Ensure that your power distribution units support tool-less mounting.
• Check the available depth and width in your rack to accommodate the bracket dimensions.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the cable connections and the bracket mounting points during routine maintenance to ensure that the hardware remains secure and that cable weight is evenly distributed to prevent strain on the connectors.
