B-LINE SB5544084TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 19 inch rack-mount switch or patch panel fit the B-Line SB5544084TG open frame rack?
Yes. The SB5544084TG is a 19 inch wide open frame rack with 43 mounting spaces, so standard 19 inch EIA panels, patch panels and switches mount directly. The rails are punched with 12-24 panel mounting holes, which is the threaded standard most telecom panels ship screws for.
2) Is this B-Line rack rated for seismic installation in California?
It is built as a Seismic Zone 4 rack, the highest of the four zones, using a closed duct unequal flange design in 11 gauge ASTM A1011SS steel. Zone 4 covers the high seismic regions including most of coastal California. Anchoring to the slab per the structural drawing is still on the installer.
3) Is this rack UL Listed for a commercial or institutional install?
Yes, the SB5544084TG carries a UL Listed marking, which is what most facility and institutional specs call for on rack and frame products. Steel construction is 11 gauge to ASTM A1011SS.
4) Do I need to tap the rails or buy a threading kit for this rack?
No tapping needed. The rails come with 12-24 panel mounting holes already, so you order 12-24 rack screws and mount. If your equipment came with 10-32 screws, they will not thread here, you need 12-24 hardware instead.
5) Open frame rack or an enclosed cabinet for a telecom room?
An open frame rack like this one gives you access from both sides and free air movement, which is why it is standard in locked MDF and IDF rooms where the room itself provides the security. Pick an enclosed cabinet instead if the equipment sits in a shared or public space, needs dust control, or needs lockable doors. This unit is a double sided open frame with a top angle for ladder rack or runway attachment, not an enclosure.
6) How many rack units of gear can I mount in this B-Line rack?
43 mounting spaces in an 84 inch frame. That is enough for a full complement of patch panels, switches and a UPS with room left for horizontal cable managers, which typically eat 1 to 2 spaces each.
7) Will this rack match the gray racks already in my telecom room?
The finish is Telco gray powder coat, the standard color for telecom framing, so it will line up visually with existing telco gray racks and ladder runway. There is one finish on this model.
8) Can two people set this rack in place, or do I need a lift?
At 83 lb the frame is a two-person carry and stand-up, no lift required. Weight climbs fast once panels and cable go in, so anchor it before loading.
