B-LINE SB704197418FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 19 inch rack-mount switch or patch panel fit the Eaton B-Line SB704197418FB open rack?
Yes. The SB704197418FB is a 19 inch panel mount open frame rack, so any standard 19 inch EIA rack-mount switch, patch panel or shelf lands on the uprights. Panel mounting holes are tapped #12-24, so your gear mounts with #12-24 screws rather than 10-32 or cage nuts.
2) How much wall space do I need for the B-Line SB704197418FB open frame rack?
Plan on a wall run of about 74-1/4 inches and a height of 74-1/2 inches, with 18 inches of depth off the wall. That depth is the frame only, so add clearance behind for patch cord bends and in front for door swing or working space in the room.
3) What screw size do I need for the Eaton B-Line SB704197418FB rack?
#12-24. The rack's panel mounting holes are tapped #12-24, which is the heavier of the two common rack thread sizes. If your patch panels and switches came with 10-32 hardware, order a bag of #12-24 rack screws before install day.
4) Is the SB704197418FB rack light enough for one person to hang, and what does it weigh on the wall?
The frame comes in at 21.6 lb, because the uprights are aluminum and only the extension brackets are steel. That is a one-man lift empty, but the load on the wall is whatever you bolt into it, so the anchors have to be sized for the rack plus the gear, not the 21.6 lb.
5) Should I use a wall-mounted open rack or a floor-standing rack for a small network closet?
A wall-mounted open frame rack like the SB704197418FB keeps the floor clear and puts the gear at working height, which is what you want in a tight IDF, janitor closet or above-counter space. Go floor-standing instead when the wall construction will not carry the load, when you need deep servers rather than switches and patch panels, or when you need more depth than the 18 inches this frame projects.
6) Is the SB704197418FB an enclosed cabinet or an open frame?
Open frame. There are no side panels, no doors and no locking enclosure, just aluminum uprights on steel extension brackets. That gives you open-air cooling and both-side access to cabling, but it gives you no physical security, so it belongs in a room you can lock rather than an open corridor.
7) Will the flat black finish on this B-Line rack match other black data racks and cable runway in the same room?
The finish is a flat black powder coat, so it reads matte rather than gloss next to gloss-black enclosures. It matches typical flat black ladder rack and open frame gear, and powder coat holds up to cable pulls and rack screw scuffing better than paint.
8) What exact part number do I order for the B-Line Eaton wall-mount 19 inch open rack in flat black?
Order Eaton B-Line model SB704197418FB. That is the flat black powder coat, #12-24 tapped, 19 inch panel mount wall-mounted open frame rack with aluminum uprights and steel extension brackets.
