B-LINE SB5852108TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line SB5852108TG rack fit standard 19 inch rack-mount equipment?
Yes. The SB5852108TG is a 19 inch wide network bay rack with 12-24 tapped panel mounting holes, which is the standard thread for rack panels and equipment ears on telecom and network gear. Screws are 12-24, so any 19 inch EIA panel will land on the rails.
2) How much rack-mount equipment can I actually fit on a 51 space B-Line open rack?
51 mounting spaces at a 108 inch overall height. Each rack space is 1.75 inches of panel height, so 51 spaces gives you 51U of usable mounting for switches, patch panels and cable managers.
3) Is this B-Line rack rated for a seismic installation?
It is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay closed duct rack, which is the highest seismic zone classification and the one specified for California and other high-activity regions. It is also UL Listed. Zone 4 racks are anchored to the floor and typically braced overhead, so plan your floor anchors and any ladder rack or overhead bracing as part of the install.
4) How much weight can the SB5852108TG hold?
200 lb load capacity. That covers a typical patch panel and horizontal cable manager build with light switching gear. If you are loading a full bay of heavy servers or UPS units, that is beyond what this open frame rack is rated to carry.
5) Will a 108 inch tall telecom rack clear my ceiling?
At 108 inches, this rack stands nine feet tall, so you need a finished ceiling above that plus working clearance to set it upright and to run cable over the top. In a standard eight foot room it will not stand. Check ceiling height, door height for bringing it in, and any sprinkler or overhead ladder rack before ordering.
6) Is this an open frame rack or an enclosed cabinet?
Open frame. The Eaton B-Line series rack is a two-post style steel frame with a top angle, not a four-sided enclosure. There are no doors, side panels or locks, so equipment is fully accessible from all sides and airflow is unrestricted. If you need physical security or containment, you want an enclosed cabinet instead.
7) What do I need to order with a B-Line open rack to finish the install?
The rack is the frame only. Plan on 12-24 rack screws to match the tapped rails, floor anchors sized to your slab for the Seismic Zone 4 base, vertical and horizontal cable management, and overhead ladder rack or runway to land cable at the top angle. Grounding hardware and a rack ground bar are usually required by spec in a telecom room as well.
8) What color and finish is the B-Line SB5852108TG?
Telco gray powder coat over steel. That is the standard gray used across telecom equipment rooms, so it will match existing B-Line bays and most other telco-finish racks and ladder rack in the same room. Powder coat holds up better than paint against cable pulls and rack screw scuffing.
9) How much does this rack weigh for shipping and handling into a closet?
The rack itself weighs 87.45 lb. That is a two-person carry at nine feet long, and it will need to be moved in on its side before being stood up and anchored.
