APC NetShelter Cable Management Horizontal Cable Manager 2U

The APC AR8606 is a 2U horizontal cable manager designed for NetShelter and other standard network racks, giving installers a simple way to route and protect patch cords and power leads without crowding the rack face. Its single-side layout extends six inches into the rack, creating a spacious channel where cables can be laid in, guided through dedicated access slots, and secured to the backplate’s tie-off points.

A front cover made from durable material and finished in black snaps into place to hide cabling from view, which helps maintain a professional appearance in server rooms, network closets, and larger data centers. Because the manager occupies only two rack units and weighs just one kilogram, it adds minimal load while delivering substantial organizational benefits.

Installation is straightforward. The package arrives with mounting hardware and a clear guide, so a single technician can bolt it in, dress the cables, and close the cover in minutes. TAA compliance makes the AR8606 suitable for government or regulated environments that require trade-agreement-compliant products.

Whether you are refreshing a small office rack or building out a high-density colocation suite, this cable manager keeps pathways open, improves airflow around active equipment, and makes future moves, adds, and changes far easier.
