B-LINE SB556096XUTG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this B-Line open frame rack rated for a Seismic Zone 4 installation?
It is built as a Seismic Zone 4 rack, using the closed duct unequal flange design. That is the configuration specified for the highest seismic zone, so it suits data rooms and central offices in California and other high seismic areas. It is also UL Listed.
2) What does the top angle style on this B-Line rack mean for my installation?
Top angle means the frame is finished with an angle at the top for bracing to overhead structure, ladder rack, or cable runway. It is the standard telecom approach: bolt the base to the floor and tie the top angle off above. For a seismic installation you need both the floor anchorage and the overhead tie to make the Zone 4 rating meaningful.
3) Is this aluminum or steel, and what gauge are the rails?
The frame is aluminum, formed from 11 gauge material to ASTM A1011SS. The aluminum construction is why the whole rack weighs only 36 lb, which matters when you are carrying frames into an occupied building or up a stairwell.
4) Do I need cage nuts or a hardware kit to mount patch panels to this rack?
No cage nuts. The mounting rails come with 12-24 panel mounting holes already tapped, so panels fasten with 12-24 rack screws. You will still need to source the rack screws themselves plus your floor anchors and overhead bracing hardware for the seismic installation.
5) What does double sided mean on a B-Line open frame relay rack?
Double sided refers to the rack being drilled and usable for mounting from both faces, so you can hang equipment or panels front and rear rather than on a single side only. It is an open frame, not an enclosure, so there are no doors or side panels.
6) Will this rack match the gray finish on my existing telecom frames?
The finish is Telco gray powder coat, the industry standard color for central office and telecom relay racks, so it lines up with existing frames and ladder rack in most communications rooms.
