B-LINE SB576A08FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Eaton B-Line SB576A08FB adapter plate actually do?
It adapts a 23 inch equipment rack to accept 19 inch panel mount gear. You mount the plates to the 23 inch rails and the 19 inch equipment then screws to the plate, so you can drop standard 19 inch panels, patch panels or switches into an older 23 inch telecom frame without replacing the rack.
2) How much rack space do the B-Line SB576A08FB adapter plates give me?
Eight mounting spaces, which is 8 rack units of 19 inch panel area. The plate measures 8.69 inches on its long dimension, consistent with 8U of usable height.
3) Does the 23 inch to 19 inch rack adapter come with mounting screws?
Yes. The kit ships as two plates with #12-24 mounting hardware included, so you have the screws for attaching the plates. Screws for the equipment you hang on the plate are whatever that gear requires.
4) Do I need one kit or two to convert a 23 inch rack?
One kit covers the opening. The SB576A08FB ships as a pair of plates, one for each rail of the 23 inch rack, giving you 8U of 19 inch mounting. If you need more than 8U of converted space, you order additional kits.
5) Will #12-24 hardware match the threads in my existing rack?
The included hardware is #12-24, the common tapped thread on North American two-post telecom and equipment racks. If your 23 inch frame is tapped 10-32 or uses cage nuts, the supplied #12-24 screws will not thread in and you will need hardware matching your rails.
6) Is this adapter plate strong enough for loaded patch panels and switches?
The plates are 11 gauge steel, a heavy structural gauge for rack hardware, and the kit weighs 1.8 lb. Depth is shallow, 2 inches, so the plate is a mounting flange rather than a shelf; the weight of your gear still rides on the 23 inch rack rails behind it.
7) What finish is the B-Line SB576A08FB and will it match a black open frame rack?
Flat black powder coat over steel, which is the same finish B-Line uses across its black open frame racks, so it blends with an existing black two-post frame in a telecom room or MDF.
8) What is the correct part number to order for the 8 space 23 inch to 19 inch black adapter?
Eaton B-Line SB576A08FB. That number covers the 8 mounting space, flat black powder coat version of the 23 inch rack to 19 inch panel adapter plate kit.
