The APC AR8472 is a filter specifically developed for integration into existing rack systems. It is used for air purification within server and network enclosures, particularly in environments where air quality may be affected by dust or other particles. The product is part of the NetShelter WX series and is used as an accessory for optimizing operating conditions in IT infrastructures. The filter is black in color, enabling visual harmonization with typical rack components.

Applications

The filter is designed for use in rack systems, particularly in server and network enclosures where continuous air circulation is required. It is used in environments where humidity, dust load, or other particles could impair the function of installed IT devices. Using the filter contributes to extending the service life of devices by protecting them from contamination. Installation is carried out in existing rack systems, with no specific mounting position prescribed.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The APC AR8472 is an air filter integrated into rack systems to clean incoming air. It is capable of filtering fine particles from the air that could otherwise enter the cooling systems of IT devices. The filter component is housed in a robust housing that ensures mechanical stability. Dimensions are 268 mm (width), 28 mm (depth), and 505 mm (height), allowing it to fit into standard rack systems. Weight is 680 g, enabling easy installation. The black color ensures unobtrusive integration into the rack environment.

Technology Explained Simply

The filter operates through mechanical filtration, where air is passed through a fine filter medium to remove particles such as dust or fibers. The filtration technology is passive, meaning no active air movement is generated by the filter itself; instead, it is integrated into existing airflows created by the cooling of IT devices. Filter performance depends on the airflow rate generated by device cooling within the rack. The filter component is dimensioned to be used in typical rack installations without additional modifications.

Compatibility and Accessories

The filter is specifically developed for use in NetShelter WX Low-Profile enclosures offered by APC. It is intended as a replacement or supplementary component for existing rack systems to improve air quality within the enclosure. Compatibility is limited to specific rack systems of the NetShelter WX series.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out in existing rack systems, with no specific mounting position prescribed. Installation is performed via mechanical fastening, with detailed mounting instructions provided in the manual for NetShelter WX Low-Profile enclosures. Mounting is done into designated openings or mounting points of the rack.

Operational Advantages

Using the filter helps reduce contamination of IT devices, which can extend maintenance intervals and increase operational reliability. By reducing dust load, the cooling performance of devices is maintained, reducing the risk of overheating. The filter component is easy to install and requires no special technical knowledge if mounting instructions are followed. Integration into existing rack systems is achieved without modifications to the existing infrastructure.

Certifications and Environmental Standards

The product complies with RoHS and REACH directives, which restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical equipment. It is also compliant with the WEEE directive, which regulates the collection and disposal of electrical and electronic waste. The total carbon dioxide footprint is 4.1266323348 kg CO2e, reflecting the environmental impact of the product. Packaging contains no single-use plastics and is not marked as sustainable.

Scope of Delivery

The scope of delivery includes one filter (1 piece).
