B-Line Eaton series open racks, Aluminum uprights and steel extension brackets, 200 lb load capacity, Aluminum - brushed, Wall-mounted network equipm

The rack is rated for 200 lb of equipment load. That is the total for everything mounted on the uprights, so add up switch, patch panel, and any UPS or power strip weight before you commit. The rack itself weighs 12.7 lb, which matters for the anchors you pick in the wall.

Plan for a 25.25 by 25.25 inch footprint with 18 inches of depth off the wall. Leave extra in front of that 18 inches for patch cords and power cord bend radius, since it is an open frame with no door.

This Eaton B-Line unit is an open frame rack, meaning exposed uprights and extension brackets with no doors or side panels. Go open frame when the room is already secure and you want free airflow and easy cable access. Choose an enclosed wall cabinet instead when the equipment sits in a public corridor, a classroom, or a tenant space where you need a lockable door and dust protection.

Order it as Eaton B-Line SB704232518AL. That single part number covers the complete brushed aluminum wall-mounted rack, so a facility standardizing multiple closets can reorder against just that number.

Given the 200 lb equipment rating plus the 12.7 lb rack, the fasteners carry real cantilevered load off an 18 inch deep frame. Anchor into studs or solid backing, not drywall alone. Mounting hardware is not part of what ships with the rack, so pick lag screws or through-bolts to suit the wall construction.

It is a mixed build: aluminum uprights with steel extension brackets, finished in brushed aluminum. The aluminum uprights resist corrosion well, but the steel brackets are the part to watch in a humid mechanical room or garage closet, so keep it off exterior walls that sweat.
