B-LINE SB57166D096AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size vertical cable manager is the Eaton B-Line SB57166D096AL, and will it fit a 7-foot open frame rack?
The SB57166D096AL is a 96 inch tall vertical cabling section, 6 inches wide and 12.75 inches deep. At 96 inches it matches an 8-foot (96 inch) open frame relay rack, not a standard 7-foot (84 inch) rack. If your frames are 84 inches, you need the 84 inch length of this cable section instead, or the manager will overhang the top of the rack.
2) Does this B-Line vertical cabling section open from both sides?
Yes. The SB57166D096AL is a dual hinging removable design, so the gate swings from either side and lifts off entirely. Removing the gate is what makes dropping a full bundle of cable into the channel fast, rather than feeding jumpers in one at a time through a fixed door.
3) How much aisle space does a 6 inch wide vertical manager take, and is 6 inches enough for a switch-heavy rack?
Each section adds 6 inches of width beside the rack and projects 12.75 inches front to back. Six inches of channel is sized for patch cords and station cable on a normal distribution rack. If you are terminating high-density copper, 24 or 48 port switches on every RU, plan on a wider channel or a manager on both sides of the frame, since 6 inches fills up fast with Cat6 bundles.
4) Is the SB57166D096AL a free standing manager or does it bolt to the rack?
It is rack mounted, meaning it fastens to the side of an open frame rack and depends on that frame for support rather than standing on its own base. For a row of racks, you mount one section between adjacent frames or on the end of the row. It does not replace a free standing cable runway or ladder tray overhead.
5) What is this vertical cable section made of, and will the finish match an aluminum relay rack?
It is brushed aluminum, which matches the standard clear/brushed aluminum finish on B-Line aluminum open frame racks. If your existing frames are black powder coated steel, the brushed aluminum will not match visually, though it will still mount and function normally.
6) Is this B-Line rack cable manager UL listed or carry any certification?
No certification applies to this vertical cabling section. It is a passive mechanical cable channel with no electrical components, so there is nothing to list. If your project spec calls for a listed pathway product, that requirement belongs to the raceway or the rack bonding hardware, not to this gate section.
