B-LINE SB596V23106AAL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line SB596V23106AAL shelf fit a standard 19-inch open frame rack?
Yes. The SB596V23106AAL is a rack mounted shelf measuring 23.31 inches wide overall, which is the standard mounting width across the rails of a 19-inch EIA rack once the flanges are included. Depth is 20 inches and height is 6 inches, so allow 20 inches of clear depth in front of and behind the rails since it mounts double sided.
2) How much rack space does the B-Line SB596V23106AAL shelf take up?
The shelf is 6 inches tall, which occupies just under 3-1/2 rack units of vertical space (1U is 1.75 inches). Plan roughly 4U in your elevation to leave clearance above the equipment sitting on it.
3) What is the difference between a double sided rack shelf and a standard cantilever shelf?
A double sided shelf like the SB596V23106AAL bolts to the rack rails and carries load on both the front and rear of the frame, so it is used in two-post open frame racks where equipment overhangs to both sides. A cantilever shelf mounts to the front rails only and supports from one side, which is fine for light gear but puts all the load on the front posts. If you are placing a heavy non-rack-mount device on an open two-post rack, the double sided solid shelf is the one to use.
4) Is the B-Line SB596V23106AAL a vented or solid shelf?
Solid, not vented. That means it gives full surface support for a device with feet or an uneven base, but it does not pass airflow up through the shelf. For convection-cooled equipment stacked directly above it, use a vented shelf instead.
5) Is an aluminum rack shelf strong enough for heavy equipment, or do I need steel?
This one is specified as a heavy duty shelf in aluminum, and the aluminum construction is why it weighs only 5.8 lb, which keeps dead load off the rack posts. Aluminum also does not rust, so it suits humid or coastal MDF rooms. If your load spec calls out a published static load rating for the shelf itself, verify that against the equipment weight before mounting.
6) What part number do I order for the B-Line double sided heavy duty solid aluminum rack shelf?
Order Eaton B-Line MPN SB596V23106AAL. That single part number covers the double sided, heavy duty, solid aluminum shelf in brushed aluminum, 23.31 inches wide by 20 inches deep by 6 inches high, so there are no finish or size suffixes to pick.
7) Will a 20 inch deep shelf fit inside a standard enclosed server cabinet?
Only if the cabinet has at least 20 inches of usable interior depth clear of the door, cable managers and PDUs, since the shelf itself is 20 inches deep. It is built for Eaton B-Line series open frame racks, where there is no enclosure to work around. In a shallow wall-mount cabinet, measure rail-to-door clearance first.
8) Will this aluminum rack shelf match brushed aluminum B-Line open frame racks already installed?
It should. The SB596V23106AAL is aluminum with a brushed aluminum finish, the same finish used on Eaton B-Line series aluminum open frame racks, so it blends with existing brushed aluminum frames rather than standing out like a black powder coat shelf would.
