B-Line Eaton series open racks, 79.625" height, 14" length, 12" width, Aluminum, RCM rack mounted vertical cable manager double sided, Direct pdu mou

The Eaton B-Line SB862812D084SL is a 12 inch wide vertical cable manager with a 14 inch front-to-back depth and a 79.625 inch height, so it adds a full foot to the overall width of whatever rack row you bolt it to. Plan the aisle and floor layout for rack width plus 12 inches per manager, and confirm you have 79.625 inches of clear vertical space under any overhead ladder rack or cable tray.

It routes on both sides. The RCM rack mounted vertical cable manager is a double sided unit with two vertical cabling sections, so front and rear cable bundles stay separated rather than sharing one channel. That is what you want when you are dressing patch cords on the front and power or trunk cable at the rear of the same rack.

Yes, direct PDU mounting is built in, so a vertical zero-U PDU attaches to the manager itself instead of eating rack units or hanging off a separate bracket. Combined with the two vertical cabling sections, you can run the PDU in one channel and keep data cable in the other.

Cable is retained by low density plastic gates rather than a hinged solid door. The gates are part of the black plastic component set on a silver powder coat aluminum frame. Low density gates flex out of the way for adds and moves, which suits a live patching environment where you are pulling cords weekly; if you need a lockable or solid covered channel for a secure or high-visibility room, that is a different manager style.

Fifty push-in fasteners ship with the manager, which covers the tie-down points for dressing bundles into the two vertical channels. Rack-to-manager hardware aside, you do not need to source push-ins for the initial build out.

UL is the certification carried on the SB862812D084SL. For a hospital, campus or government spec that calls for UL on rack and cable management infrastructure, that is the listing to reference on the submittal.

The open back design of these racks leaves front and rear access unrestricted, which is the point of going open frame, but it also means there is nowhere to hide cable. A dedicated 12 inch vertical channel with two separate cabling sections keeps bundles off the rails and out of the airflow path, and gives you a place to land a vertical PDU without losing rack units.

The finish is a silver powder coat over aluminum, with black plastic gates and trim components. It matches the silver powder coat open frame racks in the Eaton B-Line series, so a row built from the same family reads consistently. If your existing racks are black, the frame will not match and you would want the black version of the manager instead.
