APC NetShelter Cable Management, Cable Ladder Attachment Kit, for Enclosures, Troughs, and Zone Cabling 4U Patch Frame

The APC AR8186 is a cable ladder attachment kit that gives you a reliable way to guide network and power cables above or alongside your racks. By creating a dedicated pathway, it keeps cable bundles tidy, clearly labeled, and easy to reach during moves, adds, or changes.

The kit arrives with two brackets that can be adjusted to match the height and depth you need. Each bracket stands 6.36 inches tall and 3.41 inches wide, so it fits comfortably within common clearance spaces without blocking airflow or lighting. A finish in black helps the hardware blend with NetShelter enclosures and other rack equipment, maintaining a clean, uniform look.

Installation is straightforward. The included hardware and guide walk you through fastening the brackets to an enclosure top, an overhead trough, or a 4U zone cabling patch frame. Once secured, the brackets create a firm anchor point for a cable ladder, keeping runs elevated and preventing strain on patch cords and connectors.

The AR8186 is a practical choice for data centers, network closets, educational labs, or any environment where cable density is high and frequent reconfiguration is expected. It supports a neat, serviceable workspace, helps technicians finish tasks faster, and protects the integrity of your cabling investment.
