B-LINE SB596V19106AAL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many rack spaces does the B-Line SB596V19106AAL shelf take up in a 19-inch rack?
Four mounting spaces (4U) are required for the SB596V19106AAL shelf. Its panel height is 6 inches and the width is 19.31 inches, so plan on four contiguous open holes patterns in the rack frame before you mount it.
2) Will a 20-inch deep rack shelf fit in my open frame relay rack?
The shelf is 20 inches deep and is built as a double sided rack mounted shelf, meaning it mounts to front and rear rails of an open frame rack. On a two-post rack with no rear uprights you cannot use the rear mounting, so confirm you have a four-post or double sided frame at 20 inches of usable depth.
3) Does the B-Line SB596V19106AAL come with mounting screws, or do I need to order rack hardware separately?
Shelves and #12-24 mounting hardware are included, so no separate screw pack is needed for a #12-24 tapped rack. If your frame is tapped 10-32 instead, the supplied screws will not thread and you will need 10-32 hardware.
4) Is this an aluminum or steel rack shelf, and does the finish match brushed aluminum racks?
Construction is aluminum with a brushed aluminum finish, so it matches Eaton B-Line aluminum open frame racks in the same brushed finish rather than a black or grey painted steel rack. Aluminum also keeps the weight down at 4.6 lb for the shelf itself.
5) Should I use a solid shelf or a vented one for network gear?
The SB596V19106AAL is the heavy duty solid shelf version, so the deck is closed with no ventilation slots. It is the right pick for supporting weight and for keeping small items or cable from dropping through. If you are stacking gear that pulls cooling air vertically through the shelf area, a vented shelf is the better choice.
6) Can this B-Line shelf carry heavier equipment than a single-sided cantilever shelf?
Being double sided, it picks up support at both the front and rear rack rails rather than cantilevering off the front posts only, which is why it is described as the heavy duty solid shelf. For gear with weight toward the back, that rear support is the reason to choose this over a cantilever shelf.
7) What is the exact Eaton part number to order this brushed aluminum 4U shelf?
Order Eaton B-Line part SB596V19106AAL. That single model number covers the aluminum, brushed finish, double sided 4U solid shelf.
