APC AR8606

Overview

The APC AR8606 is a 2U horizontal cable manager designed to organize and protect cables within standard 19-inch network racks such as NetShelter. It provides a six-inch deep channel on one side of the rack, allowing installers to neatly route patch cords and power leads without crowding the rack face. The unit includes a durable black cover that snaps into place, concealing cables to maintain a professional look while improving airflow in server rooms, network closets, and data centers.

Weighing just about 1 kilogram and occupying only two rack units, this cable manager adds minimal load while offering significant organizational benefits. It comes with mounting hardware and a clear installation guide, enabling quick setup by a single technician. Its TAA compliance also makes it suitable for government and regulated environments.

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.
