APC CDU Flexible Fluid Piping - 300 Feet (91.4 Meters)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

APC’s “Flexible Fluid Piping” is the kind of add-on you only need if you’re doing chilled-water style liquid cooling in/around racks, and you’re trying to make the pipe runs behave around real-world obstacles. At **£1,539.98 ex-VAT**, it’s not cheap, so I’d only buy it if your installation genuinely calls for this run length and routing flexibility—otherwise you’re paying for metres you’ll never fully use, or you’ll get stuck later with awkward, expensive rework.

Who it suits: buyers with a planned liquid-cooling setup from APC (or a design that matches its ecosystem), cabinet layouts that aren’t straight-line, and installers who want fewer compromises on routing. Who should hesitate: teams without a confirmed design for the piping path, anyone still in “we’ll figure it out on site” mode, or organisations that only need basic rack/cabinet infrastructure—this is very much a specialised component. If your scheme is uncertain, I’d spend that money on getting the route engineered properly first; the cost of getting it wrong will dwarf the savings on flexibility.
