APC AR8606 2U 6.5in Horizontal Cable Manager

Horizontal cable manager, 2U rack height

The APC AR8606 is a 2U horizontal cable manager designed for standard 19-inch equipment racks. It provides a structured pathway to organise patch cords and trunk cables across the front of the rack. The unit suits network administrators and installers who need to maintain tidy cable runs in data centres or server rooms.

Cover, tie-off points and rear pass-through slots

A removable cover conceals cables for a clean appearance while protecting them from accidental snags. Integrated cable tie-off points secure bundles in place, preventing stress on connector ends. Slots in the rear plate allow front-to-back cable pass-through, letting installers route fibres or copper links directly to equipment ports without sharp bends.

6.5-inch depth handles high-density bundles

At 150 mm deep, the manager accommodates large cable counts typical of high-density patching fields. The 3.5-inch vertical profile fits within a 2U space, leaving adjacent rack units free for active gear. Installers working with very thick trunk cables or extensive fibre counts may find the channel fills quickly, so planning for additional managers is advisable.
