APC AR8635

Overview

The APC AR8635 is a vertical cable manager designed to mount alongside 2 post and 4 post open frame racks, providing a dedicated and organized path for network and power cables. Measuring 84 inches tall and 10 inches wide, it accommodates large cable bundles without encroaching on valuable rack space. Its single-sided design allows it to sit flush against rack rails, preserving airflow and space on the opposite side for additional equipment.

This cable manager features plastic fingers spaced at every 1U to guide cables while protecting their bend radius, reducing stress on connectors and ports. The contoured door swings open to either side, granting quick access for maintenance or upgrades. Tool-free backplates support APC accessories like rack power distribution units and hook and loop cable managers, simplifying installation and enhancing cable routing efficiency.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
