Meet the APC by Schneider Electric ACF201BLK Rack Side Air Distribution System — a purpose-built cooling accessory designed to maximize airflow efficiency in standard 19-inch racks. Built for IT environments where dense servers, storage, and networking gear push cooling to the limit, this 2U, black side distribution module cleanly channels conditioned air where it’s needed most. By directing airflow to critical front-end intakes and reducing hot spots, the ACF201BLK helps stabilize operating temperatures, improve equipment reliability, and support higher performance workloads without a dramatic lift in overall data center power use. Whether you’re outfitting a new rack, upgrading an existing setup, or scaling for growth, this side air distribution system offers a practical, space-saving solution that blends seamlessly with APC and other rack enclosures while delivering noticeable gains in cooling effectiveness.
- 260 CFM of airflow capacity delivers robust cooling for high-density IT content within a standard 19-inch rack, helping to match the cooling supply to the demand of modern servers, switches, and storage devices without overhauling your entire cooling strategy.
- Rack-side air distribution precisely targets cold air to front-facing equipment, reducing hot spots and temperature gradients. By focusing delivery at the intake points, it supports safer operating temperatures, longer hardware life, and greater reliability for critical workloads.
- 2U, rack-mountable design in a durable black housing fits neatly into standard data-center racks. Its compact form-factor allows you to add targeted cooling without compromising rack space or interfering with cable management, patch panels, or door access.

Amazing mitt!!
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt, Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
i’ve been self tanning for years and no other method has performed as well as this mitt has. it’s incredible. i’ve tried using my hands, which leaves them orange and my body streaky. i’ve used the tanning mitts that you can find at drug stores and at ULTA, and they always tend to rip on the sides after a few uses. although those ones left my tan not as streaky, they’re nothing compared to the sun laboratories mitts. they’re extremely soft and long lasting. i can use this mitt to apply any self tanner so evenly and streak free. i’ve never been more impressed with any other self tanning mitt than i am with this one. in just a few minutes this mitt gives me a smooth, flawless, bronzer finish. it’s distributed the same all over. i’ve even used this mitt to apply self tanner to my face and it works perfectly. i thought all mitts worked the same until i came across this one. the sun laboratories self tanner is incredible as well. these are by far the best combination i’ve ever used and i definitely recommend everyone to try, especially if you’re having a hard time finding a self tanner that performs well and applies evenly, while looking natural rather than artificial.

Good mit.
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
It's that time of year where you start to need a tan. Since I'm not out in the sun much I totally rely on fake and bake. I needed a mitt that would easily apply sunless tanner. The Smith is soft and it does help the product go on nicely. However if you apply too much sunless tanner to the MIT it will soak through and without you knowing it you will have bronze to Orange Palms so just make sure you wash your hands thoroughly. It is definitely not the best MIT in the world but it's also not the worst. I would in fact purchase this again. But remember with also painters you must exfoliate exfoliate and prep the skin before applying it otherwise you will come out looking like a bright orange Sun. That is from personal experience.

Awesome self tanning mitt!
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt, Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
This self tanning lotion mitt is amazing! It works wonders when applying the self tanning lotion. It rubs all the product evenly into your skin. The mitt does not soak up the self tanner lotion like I was afraid it would. The mitt does not leave you with streaks or any imperfections. The self tanning mitt is also very soft and flexible which helps when applying product. The tanning mitt has almost a fleece, velvety, plush texture. VERY SOFT! Very easy to work with! I used a self tanning mitt and also tried applying self tanner with my bare hands, and with latex gloves and found the tanning mitt is the easiest to use and work with. Disposable gloves seemed impossible to work with and I felt like it wasn’t rubbing the product in easy but this mitt is a life savor! If you are a fan of self tanning products weather it’s a spray, lotion, mousse, you need to have a tanning mitt in your collection! You will thank me and the tanning people for this product! It’s truly AMAZING! The self tanning mitt comes with the Black mitt, and disposable gloves. I’ll definitely be using the tanning mitt when applying the sunlabs self tanning products!

Reliable!
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
I don't normally use self-tanner, but having a mitt does make me more likely to, since it makes the process a little easier and cleaner. Very easy to use, I like the sleek black design with a loop to hang it from hooks to avoid mess! I've been testing this out for a couple weeks now and it's held up considerably well; the material hasn't lost its shape or taken any ugly creases. Washing is a breeze in the sink - I haven't tried in the washing machine yet, but I feel like it'd hold up. The mitt is not too thick, not too thin, product goes on smooth and even given that the material does the same with your self tanner that, say, a beauty blender would do with your foundation - it soaks up a little bit of product to make sure the overall application goes a long way, and keeps the whole surface looking smooth and even.

Absorbs your lotion
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
Protects your hand and the application is smooth... BUT it absorbs SO MUCH PRODUCT!!! Like waists so much of your tanning lotion. I decided to stop using it and just wash my hands right after applying bc it isn’t worth how much lotion gets absorbed into the mitt & goes to waist.
