B-LINE SB87019S3SL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line SB87019S3SL horizontal cable manager mount in a standard 19 inch rack?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line SB87019S3SL is built to a 19 inch width, which is the standard EIA rack mounting width, and it bolts to the front rails of an open frame rack or cabinet. Its 4.2 inch height corresponds to a 2U opening in the rack face, so plan on giving up 2U between your patch panels or switches.
2) Does this B-Line RCM cable manager route cable on both sides of the rack or just the front?
Single sided. The RCM rack mounted horizontal cable manager provides a horizontal pathway for cabling on one side only, so it is intended for the front of the rack where your patch panel terminations land. If you need dressed cable on the rear as well, you would mount a second unit on the back rails or specify a double sided manager.
3) Can I combine this horizontal manager with B-Line vertical cable managers in the same rack?
Yes, it is fully compatible with the RCM vertical cable manager, so horizontal runs at each patch panel hand off cleanly to the vertical channels at the rack uprights. That is the usual build for a telecom or MDF room: RCM verticals on both sides of the rack and a 2U RCM horizontal between every panel and switch.
4) How much depth does the B-Line SB87019S3SL cable manager take up in front of the rack?
It projects 5.5 inches in depth off the mounting rails. Check that against your cabinet door clearance or aisle width before ordering, since a 5.5 inch finger projection plus the bend radius of your patch cords is what actually determines whether the front door closes.
5) Is this cable manager metal or plastic?
Both, and the split matters. The body is 14 gauge steel finished in silver powder coat, while the fingers themselves are black plastic. Plastic fingers are the reason there is no sharp metal edge against the jacket of a Cat6 cord, and the 14 gauge steel base is what carries the load at the rail.
6) Will the silver finish on this B-Line manager match my existing black racks?
No. The SB87019S3SL is finished in silver powder coat with black plastic fingers. If your rack line is black, this one will read as a two tone mismatch across the face. Eaton B-Line builds the RCM line in a black finish as well, so order the matching color rather than assuming the silver will blend.
7) Is this B-Line cable manager UL listed for a commercial data room?
UL is the certification carried on the RCM horizontal cable manager. That is what most institutional and government spec sheets are asking for when they call out listed rack accessories for a telecom room.
8) What is the part number and weight for ordering the B-Line 2U single sided horizontal cable manager?
Order by Eaton B-Line MPN SB87019S3SL. It ships at 2.8 lb, which is light enough that one tech can hang it on the rails without help, but it does mean the unit is not intended to carry equipment weight, only cable.
