B-LINE SB86166DFB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size opening does the B-Line SB86166DFB vertical cable manager take up in a rack row?
The Eaton B-Line RCM high density cable manager, model SB86166DFB, stands 84 inches tall, is 6 inches wide and 14.1 inches deep. Plan on 6 inches of floor width beside the rack frame and at least 14.1 inches of front-to-back clearance, which normally lines up with a standard 84 inch open frame relay rack so the manager and rack finish at the same height.
2) Is a 6 inch wide vertical manager enough, or do I need the 10 or 12 inch version?
Six inches of channel width suits moderate to heavy copper counts on a single rack, which is where the RCM high density design earns its name: sloped fingers hold cable in the channel and multiple pass-through openings let you cross bundles into the rack at several heights instead of all at the top. If you are landing very high fiber and copper counts, or trunking between multiple racks in a row, step up to a wider vertical channel. For a single 84 inch open rack, 6 inches is the common choice.
3) Can I route patch cords out of this manager at mid-height instead of only at the top and bottom?
Yes. The RCM channel has multiple cable pass-through openings along its height, so you can break bundles out at each patch panel or switch level rather than running everything to one end. The fingers are sloped, which supports the cable as it exits and keeps the bend from collapsing at the opening.
4) Will this black cable manager match my existing flat black B-Line open frame racks?
Finish is flat black powder coat, the same coating used on B-Line series open frame racks in black, so a row of racks and managers reads as one assembly. The color is a matte black rather than a gloss, which matters if your existing equipment is a glossy black or an anodized finish and you care about the visual match across a visible data room wall.
5) How heavy is the SB86166DFB, and can one person set it?
It weighs 44.6 lb. That is a two-person lift in practice for an 84 inch tall channel, mostly because of the length rather than the mass: one installer steadies the top while the other lands the base and fastens it to the rack upright.
6) Does this cable manager carry any listing or certification for a data center spec?
The RCM high density cable manager is a passive steel cable management channel and its certification record reads Not Applicable, which is normal for non-electrical raceway of this kind. If your drawing calls for a listed or labeled component, that requirement is aimed at the powered equipment in the rack, not the vertical manager.
