Recommended Alternatives (If Out of Stock)
If the ER8212 is currently unavailable, these 42U models offer similar dimensions or higher specifications:
- APC NetShelter SX 42U (AR3150): The premium version of this rack. It features a higher weight capacity (1363kg static) and more advanced cable management options.
- Blue Gate 42U 800mm Wide Rack: A popular local alternative that offers the same 800mm width at a significantly lower price point, though it lacks the integrated APC accessory ecosystem.
- APC Easy Rack 42U 600mm (ER6212): If your space is tight and you don't have massive cabling needs, this narrower version provides the same height and depth in a smaller footprint.
Final Buying Advice
When ordering the ER8212, confirm that your facility's doors and elevators can accommodate the 1991mm height. Because this is an 800mm wide unit, ensure you have sufficient "aisle clearance" in your server room to fully open the doors.
