APC NetShelter Cable Management Horizontal Cable Manager 1U

The APC AR8612 is a 1U cable manager that mounts horizontally in a standard equipment rack and guides patch cords or power leads into a tidy, easy-to-trace layout. By adding this panel to the front of a switch, patch panel, or server, you create clear cable pathways that improve airflow, simplify maintenance, and help every technician see at a glance where each connection starts and ends.

This model uses a single-sided design with an integrated cover that snaps in place. The cover hides cabling from view, protects the wiring from accidental pulls, and maintains a clean, professional look that clients and auditors appreciate. Because the unit is only 6 inches deep and occupies one rack unit of space, it fits comfortably in crowded network closets as well as larger data-center rows. The steel construction and black finish match common rack hardware and stand up to daily handling without flexing or bending.

Installation is straightforward: align the panel with the rack’s square or threaded holes, secure it with the supplied hardware, and route your cables through the finger openings. At roughly 800 grams, the manager adds almost no weight to the rack, yet its rigid frame keeps bundles organized even when ports are fully populated. Dimensions are 482.6 × 44.45 × 165.1 mm, so compatibility with standard 19-inch racks is assured.

Network administrators, system integrators, and any team responsible for high-density patch fields will value the predictable cable routing and reduced troubleshooting time this panel provides. In environments where compliance matters—such as government facilities, education, or healthcare—the TAA and REACH certifications confirm that the product meets stringent sourcing and environmental guidelines.
