Apc AR8422 Fixed Rack Shelf 250 Lb Capacity

Product Description

The APC American Power Conversion AR8422 is a fixed rack-mount shelf rated for loads up to 250 pounds. Designed to mount inside standard equipment racks and enclosures, this shelf provides a solid, stationary platform for housing heavy networking gear, UPS units, patch panels, or other rack-compatible hardware. It ships as a single unit and is suited for data center technicians, IT infrastructure installers, and electrical contractors managing structured cabling or power distribution builds. The fixed design eliminates sliding mechanisms, keeping the load stable and reducing points of mechanical failure over time.

This shelf is intended for use inside open-frame or enclosed equipment racks in commercial and light industrial environments. Typical installations include server rooms, telecommunications closets, and electrical equipment rooms where rack-mounted components require a dedicated stationary support surface. It is commonly used alongside UPS systems, network switches, and power distribution units that need a firm platform rather than a rail-slide mount.

Key Features

• Fixed mounting design provides stable, non-sliding support for heavy rack equipment
• Rated load capacity of 250 pounds for demanding commercial installations
• Compatible with standard rack enclosure form factors
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward procurement and inventory tracking

Compatibility

Designed as a fixed mounting shelf for use within standard rack enclosures and open-frame rack systems commonly found in data center and telecommunications infrastructure builds.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by IT infrastructure technicians or licensed electricians working within rack enclosure builds. Power down and de-energize any adjacent equipment before mounting hardware inside an active rack. Secure the shelf to the rack rail mounting points using the appropriate fasteners for the rack unit spacing. Verify that the combined load of all installed equipment does not exceed the shelf or rack enclosure weight rating before placing hardware on the shelf.
