B-LINE SB5772308AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many rack units does the B-Line SB5772308AL blank panel cover?
Eight mounting spaces, which is 8 rack units. The panel height of 13.94 inches lines up with 8U at the standard 1.75 inch per space, so it closes off eight open positions in one piece rather than stacking several 1U or 2U blanks.
2) What screws do I need to mount this Eaton B-Line filler panel?
It is punched for #12-24 mounting hardware, the thread used on B-Line aluminum open frame racks. If your rack rails are tapped 10-32 or use square-hole cage nuts, the screw thread will not match and you would need the correct hardware for that rail.
3) Why use a blank filler panel in a network or AV rack instead of leaving the space open?
A blank panel covers unused mounting spaces so airflow is directed through the equipment instead of short-cycling back through empty openings, and it keeps hands and cable out of the rack face. This one is an 8U aluminum blank for 23 inch open frame racks, so it closes a large gap in a single piece.
4) Will the brushed aluminum finish match my existing B-Line aluminum rack?
It is finished brushed aluminum on aluminum stock, which is the standard look on B-Line aluminum open frame racks. Against a black powder coated steel rack it will read as a bright panel, so for a black rack face you would want a black finished blank instead.
5) Is this filler panel aluminum or steel, and how heavy is it?
Aluminum, in a brushed aluminum finish, weighing 5.77 lb. Aluminum keeps the load on the rack rails low compared with a steel panel of the same size, which matters on a tall two-post open frame carrying a lot of gear.
6) Is the panel thin enough that it won't interfere with equipment mounted right above and below?
The panel stock is .09 inch, so it sits essentially flush on the rail face and does not eat into the adjacent mounting spaces. It fills exactly its 8 spaces, 13.94 inches of rail.
7) Does the B-Line SB5772308AL blank panel carry any UL or other listing?
It is a passive aluminum blank panel with no certifications applicable to it. Ratings on the rack system itself come from the rack, not from a filler panel, so an inspector will look to the frame and grounding rather than this piece.
