B-LINE SB5772304AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many rack units does this B-Line blank filler panel cover?
It covers 4 mounting spaces, which is 4 rack units, and measures 6.94 inches in height. That is the standard 4U height (1.75 inches per space), so it blanks off four consecutive open spaces in a single piece rather than stacking four 1U panels.
2) What mounting hardware do I need for the SB5772304AL filler panel?
The panel is punched for #12-24 mounting hardware, the thread used on B-Line series open frame racks with tapped 12-24 rails. If your rack rails are tapped 10-32, the hole pattern will line up but the screws will not thread, so order 12-24 screws to match.
3) Is this filler panel steel or aluminum, and how thick is it?
Aluminum, in a brushed aluminum finish, at .09 inch thick. It weighs 2.83 lb for the 4U size, so it is light enough to handle and thread one-handed on a live rack, and the aluminum will not rust in a humid or unconditioned equipment room the way a painted steel panel can once the coating is scratched.
4) Will a brushed aluminum blank panel match the black panels already on my rack?
No. SB5772304AL comes in a brushed aluminum finish, not black. If you are standardizing the look of a rack face across a facility, keep to one finish family; a brushed aluminum panel next to a black anodized or powder coated rack will read as a mismatch even though the fit is identical.
5) Is the SB5772304AL a vented panel or a solid blank?
Solid. It is a blank filler panel, so it closes the opening completely with no perforation or louvers. If you need airflow through the filled space for equipment cooling, a solid blank is the wrong choice and you want a vented filler instead.
6) What part number do I order for a 4U 23 inch brushed aluminum blank panel from Eaton B-Line?
SB5772304AL is the part number: Eaton B-Line series, 23 inch rack width, 4 mounting spaces, brushed aluminum, blank filler panel, punched for #12-24 hardware. One panel per order line.
7) What is this blank panel actually for on a data or telecom rack?
It fills unused mounting spaces on an open frame rack so the front plane stays closed off. On an open two-post or four-post rack it gives you a flat face over empty space, keeps cabling and patch cords from being pushed through the gap, and gives a finished look on exposed racks in an IDF or comms room.
