B-Line Eaton series open racks, 2.4" height, 8" length, 19" width, Steel, RCM rack mounted single sided horizontal cable manager, Plastic finger, Eat

Yes. The Eaton B-Line RCM horizontal cable manager is built to a 19 inch width, which is the standard EIA rack mounting width, and it mounts directly to the rack rails on the front side only (single sided). At 2.4 inches high it occupies the rack space you would expect between patch panel sections.

It stands 2.4 inches tall, which works out to 1.37 rack units at the standard 1.75 inch per U, so plan on 2U of panel space when you lay out the rack. Depth off the rails is 8 inches.

That is what the plastic fingers are there for. The molded finger profile controls the cable bend radius as cords turn out of the panel and down the rack, and the design carries 45 percent more cable than a standard finger, so you can bundle a fully loaded 48 port panel without crushing jackets.

Single sided. The RCM manages cable on one face of the rack only. If you need bend radius control and routing behind the rack as well, you need a second unit mounted on the rear rails or a double sided manager instead.

The body is 14 gauge steel with black plastic finger components. It weighs 3.1 lb, so a single pair of rail screws per side carries it without sag, and the steel body will not flex under a full bundle the way an all plastic manager can.

The finish is Eaton white powder coat, the same finish used across the B-Line series open frame racks, so it matches a white rack and other white B-Line accessories in the same run. The fingers themselves are black plastic.

UL is the certification carried on the Eaton B-Line RCM horizontal cable manager, which is normally the line item a facility or institutional spec is looking for on rack mounted cable management.

Order Eaton B-Line part number SB87019SX2EW. That is the 19 inch wide, 2.4 inch high, 8 inch deep single sided horizontal cable manager with plastic fingers in Eaton white.

They do different jobs. Vertical managers carry cable up and down the rack between the rails; this horizontal unit sits between patch panels and switches to turn cords out of the ports and across to the vertical run while holding the bend radius. On a patching rack you typically want both, with a horizontal manager above and below each panel section.
