B-Line Eaton series double sided 30 inch shelf width distribution , 138" height, 43.62" length, 30" width, 9 vertical with 16 shelves, ASTM A36 struct

It supports terminal blocks for central cross connects, the main frame where incoming cable pairs terminate and get jumpered to distribution side blocks. Double sided means blocks mount on both faces of the uprights, roughly doubling the termination capacity in the same footprint, so it is the layout used where a single sided frame would run out of shelf positions. If you only need one working face and are tight on aisle depth, a single sided frame is the better pick.

This configuration is built as 9 verticals with 16 shelves. The verticals are the upright bays that set overall frame length; the 16 shelves are the mounting positions your terminal blocks land on. Count the blocks you need to place, per face, before settling on this configuration, since the shelf count is what caps termination capacity.

Shipping and installed weight is 902.183 lb for the frame itself, before any terminal blocks, cross connect wire, or shelves are loaded. That is a point load a structural engineer should see if you are placing it on a raised floor or an upper level slab. It is also a two-person-plus-equipment rigging job, not something to walk in by hand.

It is a 30 inch shelf width frame, matching the 30 inch overall width. Terminal block mounting hardware and the blocks themselves have to be specified for a 30 inch shelf; blocks laid out for a narrower frame will not span the mounting positions correctly. If your existing plant is on a different shelf width, match the width rather than trying to adapt.

Steel construction, specifically ASTM A36 structural steel, finished in Telco gray powder coat. A36 is the standard hot-rolled structural grade, which is why these frames carry loaded block shelves over an 11-plus foot height without deflecting. The Telco gray powder coat is the conventional central office color, so it blends with existing frame and relay rack lineups rather than standing out.

No. A universal distribution frame carries terminal blocks for central cross connects on shelves, not EIA rack-mount equipment on 19 inch rails. If you need to mount switches, patch panels, or servers, a relay rack or enclosed cabinet is the right product. Use this frame where copper pairs terminate and get jumpered.
