B-LINE SB86286D084FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 6-inch wide vertical cable manager fit alongside my 84-inch open frame rack?
The B-Line SB86286D084FB vertical cable manager is built at 84 inches high, matching a full-height 84-inch open frame rack, and occupies 6 inches of width beside the rack uprights with 14 inches of depth. Plan for that 6 inches of clear floor and aisle space per manager, plus the rack's own width. Its vertical sections can be spaced out as you mount them, so you have some latitude in how the fingers line up with your patch panel rows.
2) Is this cable manager single sided or double sided, and does that matter for cable routing?
Double sided. The RCM rack mounted vertical cable manager routes cable on both the front and rear faces, so you can keep patch cords on the front side and power or permanent-link cabling on the back rather than bundling everything together. On a two-post open rack that is normally what you want, since both sides of the rack are accessible.
3) Can I mount PDUs on this vertical cable manager, or do I need a separate PDU bracket?
Direct PDU mounting is built in, so a vertical zero-U PDU attaches to the manager itself instead of needing separate brackets on the rack uprights. That is the main reason data center and MRO buyers pick this version over a plain finger duct: power distribution and cable management share the same 6-inch vertical channel.
4) What holds the cables in on this manager, doors or gates?
It uses low density plastic gates rather than hinged metal doors. The gates flex open for you to drop a cord in and close back over the bundle, which is faster than unlatching a door every time you patch, and there is no door to swing into the adjacent aisle. Plastic components are used along with the black powder coated metal.
5) Is this aluminum or steel, and will the finish match my black open frame racks?
The body is aluminum with a flat black powder coat finish, colour black. Aluminum keeps the assembly light at 21.8 pounds, which matters when one person is lifting a 7-foot section into place against a standing rack. The flat black matches the typical black powder coat on Eaton B-Line open frame racks.
6) Do the vertical cabling sections come with it or are they ordered separately?
The vertical cabling sections are included with the SB86286D084FB manager. You are not buying a bare channel and adding fingers afterward. What you will still need to source is the rack itself, the PDU, and any fasteners your rack's uprights require.
7) Is this vertical cable manager UL listed for a data center or government facility spec?
UL is the certification carried on this B-Line manager, which is usually the first thing an institutional or government procurement spec asks for on electrical enclosure and raceway components. Combined with the direct PDU mounting, it is the configuration that gets specified where power is run inside the cable channel.
8) How much floor depth do I need for this next to a two-post rack?
Fourteen inches of depth, 6 inches of width, and 84 inches of height. On a standard two-post open rack the manager sits flush in depth with a typical 3-inch channel rack plus cable bend radius, so a 14-inch figure is what you use when laying out aisle clearances rather than assuming it matches the rack frame exactly.
9) What is the exact part number I should quote for this Eaton B-Line vertical manager?
Order it as Eaton B-Line SB86286D084FB. That number covers the 84-inch, 6-inch wide, 14-inch deep aluminum double sided RCM vertical cable manager with low density plastic gates and direct PDU mounting. Distributors should quote the full string, since the B-Line SB86 family differs by width, depth, and gate type within the same series.
