B-LINE SB576A03TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Eaton B-Line SB576A03TG adapter plate actually do?
It adapts a 23 inch equipment rack to accept 19 inch rack-mount panels and gear. The plates bolt to the 23 inch rails and give you a 19 inch EIA mounting face, so standard 19 inch patch panels, switches or shelves can go into an older telco-width open frame rack without replacing the rack.
2) How much rack space does the B-Line 23 to 19 inch adapter plate take up?
Three mounting spaces, or 3U of usable 19 inch mounting height. Each plate is 5.19 inches high, which is the standard 3U dimension. If you need more than 3U of 19 inch gear in a 23 inch rack, plan on stacking multiple sets.
3) Do I get both plates, or do I need to order two of the SB576A03TG?
One order covers the pair. The kit ships with two plates plus #12-24 mounting hardware, which is what you need for both sides of the rack. No extra screws to source unless your equipment uses a different thread.
4) Will #12-24 hardware match the threads in my open frame rack?
The kit comes with #12-24 screws, which is the common tapped thread on B-Line and most telco open frame racks. If your rack rails are tapped 10-32 or are square-hole cage nut rails, the supplied screws will not thread in and you will need matching fasteners for the rack-side attachment.
5) How far do these adapter plates set the 19 inch gear off the 23 inch rails?
The plates carry a 1/2 inch space between racks and project 2 inches in depth, with plate stock of .13 inch. That 2 inch offset is worth checking against cabling or door clearance behind or in front of the equipment before you mount deep gear.
6) Are these adapter plates strong enough for switches and patch panels, or just light panels?
They are 11 gauge steel, the same stock used for the open frame rack rails themselves, so they are not a thin sheet bracket. Each plate weighs 1.1 lb. For heavy or deep equipment, support the rear as well rather than hanging the full load off a 3U front adapter.
7) Will the finish match my existing B-Line telco rack?
Telco gray powder coat, the standard finish on Eaton B-Line open frame racks, so the plates blend with an existing gray rack line in a telecom or IDF room rather than standing out.
