B-LINE SB87023S2FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton B-Line SB87023S2FB cable manager fit a standard 19-inch equipment rack?
The SB87023S2FB is a rack mounted horizontal cable manager measuring 23 inches wide overall, which is the standard full width of a 19-inch EIA rack panel including the mounting flanges. It bolts to the rack's front rails like any other panel-mount accessory. Height is 2.4 inches, so it occupies the space of roughly 1-1/2 rack units, and it projects 5.5 inches in depth.
2) Is this a single sided or double sided horizontal cable manager?
Single sided. The B-Line RCM horizontal manager provides a cable pathway on one side of the rack only, so on a two-post open frame rack where you want managed cable on both the front and the rear you need two units. It does allow cable to be routed between the front and rear managers.
3) How much vertical rack space do I lose to this B-Line horizontal cable manager?
At 2.4 inches of height it takes up a little under 1-1/2 rack units (a rack unit is 1.75 inches), so in practice you plan for 2U of rail space between patch panels or switches. That is worth knowing before you lay out a full cabinet elevation.
4) Is the B-Line SB87023S2FB steel or plastic, and how heavy is it?
The body is 14 gauge steel with a flat black powder coat, and the cable fingers and trim pieces are black plastic. The whole assembly weighs 2.7 lb, light enough for one person to hold in place while starting the rail screws.
5) Is the Eaton B-Line RCM horizontal cable manager UL listed for a commercial data room?
Yes, the RCM manager carries UL certification, which is usually what an institutional or government spec sheet is asking for on rack accessories in a telecom room.
6) Should I use a horizontal cable manager like this or a vertical one?
A horizontal unit like the B-Line RCM mounts between active gear and organizes patch cords as they leave the panel, giving a pathway on one side and letting you pass cable between front and rear managers. Vertical managers handle the bundle runs up and down the side of the rack. Most builds use both: horizontals at each patch panel, verticals to carry the trunk to the top or floor.
7) What part number do I order for the B-Line 23-inch single sided horizontal cable manager?
Order Eaton B-Line MPN SB87023S2FB. That is the 23-inch wide, 2.4-inch high, 5.5-inch deep single sided RCM horizontal manager in flat black.
8) Will this black cable manager match the rest of my Eaton B-Line open frame rack?
Finish is flat black powder coat with black plastic components, the same standard black used across the Eaton B-Line open frame rack line, so it blends with existing B-Line racks and vertical managers in a room you are standardizing.
