B-LINE SB558096XUAL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 19 inch rack-mount switch or patch panel fit the Eaton B-Line SB558096XUAL relay rack?
No. The SB558096XUAL is a 23 inch rack, so it is drilled for 23 inch wide equipment flanges (standard in telecom and central office work). Standard 19 inch EIA gear will not span the rails without 19 inch to 23 inch reducer brackets. If your gear is all 19 inch, order a 19 inch relay rack instead.
2) Does the B-Line SB558096XUAL relay rack need to be braced to a wall or ladder rack?
It is a self-supporting aluminum relay rack, so the frame and base stand on their own once anchored to the floor. Overhead ladder rack or wall bracing is not required by the design, though many installers still tie the top of a two-post frame into runway for cable support.
3) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton B-Line open frame rack?
Order it as Eaton B-Line SB558096XUAL. That number covers the 96 inch tall, 23 inch wide self-supporting aluminum relay rack in brushed aluminum, and it is the number to quote for a matching add-on frame later.
4) How much floor space do I need to plan for this 96 inch B-Line relay rack?
The frame footprint is 23 inches wide, and the listed length/depth figure is 96 inches, matching the height. Two-post relay racks are shallow, so your real space driver is front and rear working clearance for equipment and cable, not the frame itself.
5) What finish does the Eaton B-Line 23 inch aluminum relay rack come in?
Brushed aluminum, left bare rather than painted. If you are standardizing a room already built out with black powder coated frames, this one will not match visually. Bare aluminum does simplify bonding, since you are grounding to unpainted metal.
6) Is this relay rack light enough for one person to set in place?
At 31.5 pounds the aluminum frame is a one or two man carry, which is the main reason crews choose aluminum over a steel frame of the same height. Construction is aluminum and steel, with the steel used in the hardware and base components.
