B-Line Eaton series open racks, Aluminum uprights and steel extension brackets, Flat black powder coat finish, 200 lb load capacity, Wall-mounted net

Rated at 200 lb load capacity. That covers a typical run of patch panels, a couple of switches, and cable management, but it is the total for everything hung on the rack including cabling, so add it up before loading. Note this is a wall-mounted rack, so the wall structure and the fasteners you use have to carry that 200 lb plus the rack's own 15.6 lb.

Plan for a footprint of 25.25 x 25.25 in with 30 in of length/depth. The depth number is what catches people out in a shallow closet or above a door, so measure the projection off the wall before committing to a location.

An open frame rack like this Eaton B-Line unit leaves the equipment exposed on all sides, which makes cabling and moves easy and lets heat off passively. Pick an enclosed cabinet instead if the gear sits in a public corridor, a classroom, or a tenant space where you need a lockable door and dust protection. In a secured IT or MRO room, the open frame is the faster install and the easier one to work in.

Yes, plan on sourcing your own wall fasteners. The rack ships as aluminum uprights with steel extension brackets; the anchors have to suit what you are fastening into, whether that is wood studs, concrete, or CMU, and they have to be rated for the rack plus its 200 lb load. That selection is the installer's call, not a fixed part.

Both. The uprights are aluminum and the extension brackets that carry the rack off the wall are steel, so the load path into the wall is steel while the panel-mount rails stay light. Everything is finished in flat black powder coat.

The SB704232530FB carries a flat black powder coat, which is the same flat black Eaton B-Line uses across its black-finish support products. If your existing runway and brackets are B-Line flat black, it reads as a match; if they are a gloss or textured black from another maker, expect a visible difference in sheen.
