B-LINE SB56162ATG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Eaton B-Line SB56162ATG spacer bar actually do in an open frame rack lineup?
It's a spacer bar for Eaton B-Line series open frame racks, used to set and hold a 2 inch gap between adjacent racks in a ganged row. On a lineup of two or more open racks it fixes the spacing so the frames stay parallel and aligned rather than relying on floor layout alone. Part number SB56162ATG.
2) Will this spacer bar work on a 7 foot open relay rack?
Yes. The SB56162ATG is specified for Eaton B-Line open frame racks 96 inches tall or less, so a standard 84 inch (7 foot) relay rack is inside that range.
3) How much space does the SB56162ATG spacer bar hold between two racks?
Two inches. The bar establishes a 2 inch gap between adjacent open frame racks, and its own depth dimension is 2 inches. That 2 inch channel is what you route vertical cable managers and jumpers through between bays.
4) What is the #8-32 tapped hole on this spacer bar for?
The bar has a #8-32 tapped center hole for mounting a mounting space cover, so you can close off the 2 inch gap between racks with a cover plate instead of leaving it open. The cover itself is a separate item.
5) Does one spacer bar do a whole rack, or do I need several?
A single bar sets the gap at one point only, so plan on multiple per rack pair, spaced up the height of the frames to keep them parallel top to bottom. On a 96 inch or shorter rack lineup that means ordering by the quantity of joints you're bracing, not one per rack.
6) Is the SB56162ATG aluminum or steel, and will it rust in a damp equipment room?
Aluminum, finished in Telco gray powder coat. Aluminum doesn't rust, and the powder coat adds a second barrier, so it holds up in unconditioned or humid telecom and MDF spaces better than bare steel hardware.
7) Will the gray finish match my existing telco gray racks?
The spacer bar is coated in Telco gray powder coat, the same standard gray used across the Eaton B-Line open frame rack line, so it blends into an existing telco gray lineup rather than standing out as a mismatched part.
