The APC ER8212 is part of the Easy Rack range, Schneider Electric's straightforward, value-oriented IT enclosures for server rooms, IT closets and edge sites. It offers 42U of EIA-310 19-inch mounting space in a 800 mm wide, 1100 mm deep cabinet with an external height of 1991 mm; the 800 mm width also allows up to 16 1U vertical knockout panels between the front and rear rails for patch panels or small devices.

Load ratings are 1199.8 kg static and 599.6 kg dynamic, and the adjustable mounting rails accept equipment from 241.6 mm up to 939.8 mm deep. Four rear accessory brackets come pre-installed for toolless mounting of full-height vertical rack PDUs; additional brackets or accessory channels can be added later.

Ventilation is handled by a removable, reversible single front door and split rear doors with up to 81% hexagonal perforation. The multi-functional roof has brush-strip openings for cabling and is compatible with APC overhead cable troughs. Roof, side panels and doors are bonded to the frame, with extra external grounding points front and rear. Half-height side panels with lockable upper sections are included; the cabinet is supplied without a bottom plate.

Casters, levelling feet and keys are included and the rack ships pre-assembled. Easy Rack is listed to UL 2416, follows EIA-310-E and carries a 5-year warranty.
