B-LINE SB745V2316AAL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line SB745V2316AAL vented shelf fit a standard 19-inch rack?
Yes. The shelf measures 17.25 inches wide, which clears the rails of a standard 19-inch EIA rack opening, and it mounts with #12-24 hardware, the common thread on tapped commercial rack rails. Depth is 16 inches, so check that your cabinet or open frame has at least that much clear depth behind the front rails.
2) How much weight can the B-Line SB745V2316AAL shelf hold?
Rated for 50 lb. That covers a small switch, a media converter, a UPS accessory, or a modem, but it is not the shelf for a heavy server or a battery pack. The shelf itself weighs only 3.7 lb because it is aluminum, so it adds almost nothing to your rack load.
3) What mounting screws do I need for the Eaton B-Line SB745V2316AAL shelf?
It uses #12-24 mounting hardware, which is the thread used on tapped rails in most Eaton B-Line open frame racks. If your rack has square punched holes rather than tapped holes, you will need #12-24 cage nuts to mount it.
4) How much rack space does this low profile B-Line shelf take up?
Front panel height is 3.42 inches, so it consumes two rack units (2U is 3.5 inches of rack space). Being a low profile ventilated shelf rather than a full-depth tray, it eats less of your rack than a 4-post equipment shelf while still giving you a flat surface for non-rackmount gear.
5) Is this shelf vented for equipment that runs hot?
It is a ventilated shelf, so the deck is perforated to let air pass through rather than trapping heat under a solid tray. That matters when you are setting a power brick, small switch or media converter on it inside an enclosed cabinet.
6) Is an aluminum rack shelf strong enough, or should I look at steel?
Aluminum construction is why this shelf is 3.7 lb and why it is capped at 50 lb of equipment. For light network gear it is fine and it will not rust in a humid closet. If you are setting down anything heavier, a steel shelf with a higher stated capacity is the right call rather than overloading this one.
7) Will a brushed aluminum rack shelf match my existing black rack gear?
No. The finish is brushed aluminum, not black, so it will read as a silver panel against black rails and black equipment. It is the finish to pick if your B-Line open frame rack is aluminum, and the wrong one if you are standardizing a room on black.
8) What is the exact part number for this Eaton B-Line ventilated rack shelf?
Order it as SB745V2316AAL. That number covers the 16 inch deep, 17.25 inch wide low profile ventilated shelf in brushed aluminum with #12-24 mounting hardware.
