B-LINE SB596S23103ATG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many rack units does the B-Line SB596S23103ATG shelf take up?
Plan on four mounting spaces (4U) of rack face for this shelf. It stands 6 inches high and projects 20 inches deep, so allow that depth clearance behind the rails as well.
2) Will this B-Line shelf fit a standard 19-inch open frame relay rack?
Yes. At 23.31 inches wide overall it mounts to the standard 19-inch EIA rail spacing on an open frame rack, with the mounting flanges making up the extra width. It is a double sided rack mounted shelf, so it attaches to the rails and is supported from both front and rear uprights rather than cantilevered off the front only.
3) How much weight can the Eaton B-Line SB596S23103ATG shelf hold?
Rated at 200 lb load capacity. That is a heavy duty solid shelf, so it will carry stacked network gear, batteries, or test equipment rather than just patch cords. The shelf itself only weighs 5.2 lb because it is aluminum.
4) Does the B-Line shelf come with mounting hardware or do I need to order screws separately?
The #12-24 mounting hardware ships with the shelf, so no separate screw pack is needed. Note the thread: if your rack uses 10-32 tapped rails instead of 12-24, the supplied screws will not thread in and you'll need 10-32 hardware.
5) Is this a vented shelf or a solid one?
Solid, not vented. The SB596S23103ATG is a solid aluminum shelf panel, which is what you want for setting down equipment with its own case fans or for non-heat-producing gear. If you are stacking unventilated devices that dump heat downward, a vented shelf is the better choice.
6) Is the depth of this shelf enough for a two-post rack install where gear hangs off the back?
The shelf is 20 inches deep and mounts to both sides of the frame, so equipment up to about that footprint sits fully supported. Anything deeper than 20 inches will overhang the rear edge unsupported, and on a two-post open rack that overhang is where shelves get bent, so size the gear to the 20 inch platform.
7) What finish is the B-Line SB596S23103ATG shelf, and will it match my existing telecom racks?
Telco gray powder coat over aluminum, which is the standard finish on Eaton B-Line series open frame racks and ladder rack accessories. If your existing frames are telco gray, this shelf matches the run.
8) Why choose an aluminum rack shelf over a steel one?
Weight and corrosion. This shelf weighs 5.2 lb yet still carries 200 lb, so a single tech can lift it into a rack overhead without a second set of hands, and the powder coated aluminum holds up in damp or unconditioned telecom spaces. Steel shelves of the same size run heavier for a comparable rating.
