APC AR8679 Vertical Cable Management Side Cover Panel
Overview
The APC AR8679 is a rack accessory designed to cover and manage cabling on double‑sided vertical cable managers used in server room and network rack installations. Infrastructure engineers and data center technicians deploy this panel to conceal and route power and data cables cleanly at the edges of open‑frame or enclosed rack systems. Proper cable coverage reduces cable clutter, improves airflow, and enhances safety around high‑density cabling runs.
This accessory is intended for use with 84‑inch tall vertical cable management systems where two cable paths (front and rear) are managed in parallel. The side cover slides onto the cable manager to provide a finished appearance and cable containment without interfering with cable entry or exit points.
The panel is constructed with a slim profile to minimize space waste while maintaining effective cable coverage. Its robust build supports installation in demanding rack environments found in data centers, network closets, and telecommunications rooms.
Installation is straightforward, typically involving sliding the panel into position on compatible vertical cable managers. The cover does not introduce electrical components, power conditioning, or active functionality — its role is strictly structural and organizational.
This accessory is not a power protection, conditioning, or UPS product. It is specifically intended for cable management purposes and will not provide electrical backup or surge protection.
