B-Line Eaton series open racks, Aluminum uprights and steel extension brackets, Telco gray powder coat, #12-24 panel mounting holes, #12-24 panel mou

The uprights are punched with #12-24 panel mounting holes, so you mount gear with #12-24 rack screws. Equipment supplied with 10-32 hardware will not thread in, order #12-24 screws and cage-free washers to match.

It is a wall-mounted network equipment rack. The uprights are supported by steel extension brackets that fasten to the wall, so you need structure behind the drywall (studs, plywood backing, or masonry anchors) capable of carrying the rack plus all loaded equipment. If you want something that stands on the floor, a two-post or four-post floor rack is the right type instead.

Plan on 74.5 in height, 74.25 in width, and 18 in depth off the wall. That 18 inch depth is the frame only, so add room in front for cable bends and patch cords and keep aisle clearance for service access.

The frame weighs 21.6 lb because the uprights are aluminum with steel extension brackets, so the empty rack is a one or two person lift. The weight that matters for anchor selection is the loaded weight, not the 21.6 lb frame.

An open frame rack is the choice when the room itself is secure and you want full access to both sides of the equipment for cabling and airflow. It offers no physical security or dust protection. In a shared space, a corridor, or anywhere public can reach it, specify a lockable enclosed wall-mount cabinet instead.

Finish is a telco gray powder coat, the standard shade used across B-Line series racks, ladder rack, and cable runway, so it matches typical existing telecom room hardware rather than standing out.

No certification or listing is carried for this open frame rack, it is treated as not applicable. It is a structural mounting frame rather than an electrical device, so submittals generally cover the equipment installed in it and the anchorage rather than the rack itself.
