B-LINE SB860812S078SL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton B-Line SB860812S078SL vertical cable manager fit a 7-foot open frame rack?
At 72.625 inches tall, the SB860812S078SL vertical cable manager runs the full height of a standard 7-foot (84 inch) open frame rack without overrunning it, leaving room at top and bottom for the rack's own mounting hardware. It is 12 inches wide and 10.8125 inches deep, so plan for a foot of side clearance beside the rack rails and confirm your aisle spacing can take that added width.
2) Can I mount a vertical PDU inside this Eaton B-Line RCM cable manager?
Yes. The RCM rack mounted vertical cable manager is set up for direct PDU mounting, so a vertical rack-mount power strip can be secured inside the channel rather than eating a rack unit up front. The channel also has a pass-through opening for routing cable between the manager and the rack.
3) Does this cable manager come with the fingers and mounting hardware, or do I have to buy them separately?
The vertical cable section and push-in fasteners are included, so the finger assembly and its fastening hardware ship with the manager. The fingers are high density plastic. You will still need the rack itself and any cable ties or hook-and-loop you want for bundling.
4) Will a silver cable manager match my existing black Eaton B-Line racks?
No. The SB860812S078SL is silver powder coat with black plastic components, so beside a black rack frame the aluminum channel will read as a different color. If visual consistency matters in a visible MDF or lobby-side closet, spec a black-finish version of the manager instead.
5) Is this Eaton B-Line cable manager UL listed for a commercial data closet?
The SB860812S078SL carries a UL certification. That is the rating to cite when a specification or facility standard calls for listed rack accessories in a telecom room.
6) Should I use a vertical cable manager like this or horizontal managers between equipment?
They do different jobs. A full-height vertical manager such as the 72.625 inch RCM channel carries trunk runs up and down the side of the rack and keeps patch slack out of the equipment faces, and it gives you a spot for a vertical PDU. Horizontal managers only dress cable between two adjacent rack units and consume RU you could be selling to gear. Most switch-heavy open racks want the vertical channel first and horizontals only where a patch panel needs local slack.
7) Is one person enough to hang this vertical cable manager, or do I need two?
It weighs 24.3 lb and stands 72.625 inches tall. The weight is manageable alone, but the length makes a second set of hands worthwhile to hold it plumb against the rack rail while the push-in fasteners are set.
8) Is this cable manager aluminum or steel, and will it hold up in a humid utility room?
The channel is aluminum with a silver powder coat finish and black plastic fingers. Aluminum does not rust the way bare or painted steel does, which is a point in its favor for a basement or mechanical-space closet, and the plastic fingers are unaffected by damp.
