B-LINE SB561319YZ – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the B-Line SB561319YZ base guard box, and what does it do on an open frame rack?
SB561319YZ is a base guard box for Eaton B-Line series open frame racks. It is a formed 14 gauge steel enclosure that mounts at the base of the rack, closing off the bottom of the frame so cable and equipment at floor level are shielded. It is a rack accessory, not a rack itself, so you order it alongside the open frame rack it is going on.
2) What are the dimensions of the SB561319YZ base guard box, and will it fit a standard 19 inch open rack footprint?
The base guard box measures 21.94 inches wide, 6 inches high and 2 inches deep. That 21.94 inch width matches the outside width of a standard 19 inch EIA rack frame, where the mounting uprights sit on 19 inch rack rails but the overall frame runs wider. Measure across the outside of your rack base before ordering; the part is sized to the B-Line open frame rack, not to a universal footprint.
3) Will the yellow zinc base guard box match the finish of my existing B-Line network blue racks?
No, it will not match visually. The base guard box ships in yellow zinc chromate plating, a bright silver-gold plated look, while the B-Line rack line it goes with is finished in Network Blue. If the rack is in a visible lobby or classroom telecom closet and appearance matters, expect the guard box to read as a different finish. In a back-of-house IDF nobody will notice.
4) Is 14 gauge steel heavy enough for a base guard in a school or public corridor telecom room?
14 gauge is a structural sheet thickness, notably heavier than the 16 and 18 gauge used for light panels and covers, so it stands up to cart strikes, mop handles and foot traffic at the base of a rack. For an education or healthcare MRO spec where the rack sits in a room that gets serviced by non-IT staff, that gauge is the reason to use a steel guard box rather than a plastic or light-gauge shroud.
5) Does the B-Line SB561319YZ base guard box carry a UL listing or any agency certification?
The base guard box is a mechanical rack accessory with no agency listing attached to it; certifications are marked Not Applicable. It carries no electrical components, so nothing on it requires a listing. The rack system and any powered equipment you mount in it are where your listing requirements live.
6) Is the yellow zinc chromate finish on this B-Line base guard box suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
Yellow zinc chromate is a plated corrosion-resistant finish on steel, and it is intended for dry indoor use, which is where open frame racks live anyway. It is not a weatherproofing system, so for a wash-down room, an unconditioned outbuilding or any wet location you want a painted or galvanized enclosure rated for that environment instead of a plated rack accessory.
7) How heavy is the B-Line SB561319YZ, and can one person install it?
It weighs 6 pounds, so it is a one-person install. The work is holding a 21.94 inch panel against the rack base and running the fasteners, which is easy enough solo once the rack is anchored to the floor.
