APC ACF202BLK Rack Side Air Distribution System

The APC ACF202BLK is a rack side air distribution system that occupies only 2U of space yet makes a significant difference to equipment that depends on side-to-side airflow. By pulling cool air from the front of the rack and directing it straight into the side intake of servers, switches, and other networking gear, it helps keep internal temperatures within the recommended range, which in turn supports stable performance and extends hardware life.

At full operation the unit moves up to 260 cubic feet of air each minute, a volume that can prevent hot spots from forming in densely populated racks or network cabinets. This steady flow allows administrators to run high-performance devices without fear of thermal throttling or unexpected shutdowns.

Integration is straightforward. The system accepts 200, 208, or 230-volt power and connects with standard IEC 60320 C13 or C14 inlets, so it works with the same power distribution units already present in most data centers and wiring closets.

Setup is equally simple. A clear installation guide walks you through mounting the 2U chassis, and a front-panel power indicator lets you confirm at a glance that airflow is active. The housing is finished in black and built for long-term durability, making it well suited to high-traffic environments where equipment is frequently added or replaced.

Network administrators, managed service providers, and anyone responsible for keeping mission-critical gear cool will appreciate how this system reduces the need for spot cooling and lowers the risk of downtime. It is an efficient way to protect side-intake hardware in enterprise data centers, branch offices, and compact edge locations.
