APC Easy Rack Vertical 0U accessory channel, 42U, qty. 2

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re building out an APC Easy Rack and you want to tidy cabling properly, the Easy Rack vertical 0U accessory channel is exactly the sort of “boring but lifesaving” add-on that makes the rack look and behave better day two. It’s not going to give you extra capacity or performance, but it does help you stop power/data leads turning into a spaghetti mess, which matters in real server room work when you’re trying to troubleshoot quickly or keep airflow sensible. At £97.80 ex-VAT for a pair, it’s priced like an accessory you buy once and then barely think about again—good value if you’re actually going to use it and you care about tidy, repeatable installs.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it just because it’s there. If you’re using a generic patching approach, already have proper cable management arms/trays, or your rack layout doesn’t benefit from vertical routing, you may end up paying for something you’ll cram into the “organised, but not used” drawer. Also, make sure it’s compatible with your specific Easy Rack model/setup before you order—these things are meant to fit the system cleanly, and you don’t want to discover mid-install that it doesn’t quite line up with your current kit.

**Who should buy:** anyone doing structured rack builds (SMB IT, MSPs, comms rooms) who wants consistent cable management without duct-taping solutions. **Who shouldn’t:** teams already happy with their cable management or those with a layout that won’t use vertical routing.
