B-Line Eaton series open racks, 83.25" height, 1.321" length, 7.8125" width, Aluminum, SB571 series rack mount vertical cable manager, Telco gray pow

The SB571HRC6X084TG measures 83.25 inches in height, which matches the usable height of a standard 84 inch (7 foot) open frame relay rack. It mounts vertically alongside the rack rails rather than consuming rack units, so it does not reduce your mounting space for equipment.

Plan on 7.8125 inches of width and 1.321 inches of depth for the SB571 manager body. That width is what determines whether two racks can sit side by side in your row with a manager between them, so measure your aisle and rack spacing against it before you commit the layout.

Cover, handles, hinges, tape and mounting hardware are all included with the SB571. You are not ordering the cover as a separate line item. The hinged cover with handles means you can open a run for re-dressing cable without pulling the manager off the rack.

Aluminum body with a Telco gray powder coat, which is the standard grey used on B-Line open frame racks and managers, so it matches a typical telco rack lineup visually. Aluminum keeps the assembly light at 11.8 pounds, which matters when one tech is holding it in place to start the mounting screws.

Order SB571HRC6X084TG. That is the Eaton B-Line SB571 series rack mount vertical cable manager, 83.25 inch height, telco gray powder coat.

They do different jobs. Horizontal managers dress patch cords across a single RU; a vertical unit like the SB571 carries the bundles up and down the full 83.25 inch height of the frame between patch fields and switches, and the hinged cover conceals them for a finished look. On a fully loaded open rack you generally want both, with the vertical run handling the trunk and the horizontal handling the jumpers.

Mounted between two bayed open frame racks, the 7.8125 inch wide SB571 can take cable from both sides of the aisle position, which is how these are normally deployed in a row. If it sits at the end of a lineup it only serves the one frame beside it. Either way you are giving up 7.8125 inches of floor width per manager, so count your managers into the row length early.
