B-LINE SB5961915AFB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton B-Line SB5961915AFB shelf fit a standard 19-inch open frame rack?
Yes. The SB5961915AFB center mount shelf is 17.5 inches wide with a 15 inch depth, which is the standard shelf width for a 19 inch EIA rack (19 inches overall including the rack rails). It mounts to the rack uprights rather than resting on anything, so it works in open frame two-post racks.
2) How much rack space does this B-Line center mount shelf take up?
Two mount spaces. The shelf is 2 inches tall, so plan on 2U of usable rack height when laying out your equipment stack.
3) What mounting screws does the SB5961915AFB shelf use, and will they match my rack's threaded rails?
It uses #12-24 mounting hardware, which is the common thread on B-Line and other tapped open frame racks. If your uprights are tapped 10-32 or use square-hole cage nuts, you'll need the matching hardware for those rails instead.
4) What does center mount mean on a rack shelf, and when would I use one instead of a front-mount shelf?
A center mount shelf attaches at the middle of its depth so the load is balanced front to back on the rack rails. That is what you want in an open two-post frame, where there is no rear rail to carry weight. If you are working in a four-post cabinet with front and rear rails, a front-and-rear supported shelf is the better choice for heavier gear.
5) Will a 15-inch deep shelf hold a full-depth network switch?
The usable depth is 15 inches, so equipment deeper than that will overhang. It suits patch panels' companion gear, small switches, media converters, and power bricks. For deep servers or full-depth appliances you want rack rails or a deeper shelf, not a 15 inch center mount.
6) Is the SB5961915AFB shelf finish going to match my existing black B-Line rack?
It comes in flat black powder coat, the same finish family B-Line uses across its open frame rack line, so it blends with black-finished racks in an equipment room. Gloss black or bright aluminum racks will show a difference in sheen.
