Overview The APC ACF202BLK is a rack side air distribution system designed to optimize cooling for equipment that relies on side-to-side airflow. Occupying just 2U of rack space, it channels cool air from the front of the rack directly into the side intakes of servers, switches, and networking devices. With the ability to move up to 260 cubic feet of air per minute, it helps maintain stable internal temperatures, preventing hot spots and supporting reliable hardware performance. This system operates on 200, 208, or 230 volts and connects via standard IEC 60320 C13 or C14 power inlets, making it compatible with common power distribution units found in data centers and wiring closets. Its durable black housing and clear installation guide simplify setup and ensure long-term use in busy environments. Key features Channels cool air from the front of the rack to side-intake devices, improving airflow where it’s most needed Supports multiple voltage inputs (200 V, 208 V, 230 V) for flexible power integration Delivers up to 260 CFM of airflow to prevent thermal hotspots and maintain consistent equipment temperatures Front-panel power indicator provides quick visual confirmation of operation status Compact 2U form factor saves valuable rack space while enhancing cooling efficiency Durable black housing designed to withstand frequent equipment changes and high-traffic server room conditions Complies with UL, CE, and other international safety standards to ensure reliable and safe operation Key specs Rack space: 2U height Airflow capacity: up to 260 cubic feet per minute (CFM) Power input: 200 V, 208 V, or 230 V Power connections: IEC 60320 C13 or C14 inlets Dimensions: 3.4 inches high, 17 inches wide, 26.3 inches deep Color and finish: black, durable housing Safety certifications: UL, CE, and additional international standards Connectivity and compatibility The unit integrates seamlessly with existing power distribution units in data centers and network closets through standard IEC 60320 C13 or C14 power inlets. Its voltage flexibility allows it to work with common power supplies found in enterprise environments, ensuring compatibility without requiring specialized infrastructure. This makes it a practical choice for network administrators managing a variety of side-intake equipment such as servers and switches that depend on consistent airflow for optimal operation. Ideal uses and environments This air distribution system is well suited to enterprise data centers, branch offices, and edge locations where rack space is limited but effective cooling is critical. It helps reduce reliance on spot cooling solutions and lowers the risk of equipment overheating, which can cause downtime or hardware damage. Network administrators and managed service providers will find it especially useful for maintaining stable temperatures in densely populated racks, supporting high-performance devices that generate significant heat.
