B-LINE SB508108UFB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many rack units of equipment can the B-Line SB508108UFB hold?
It gives you 43 mounting spaces up the 108 inch frame. That is the number to plan your elevation drawing against when you're stacking patch panels, switches and wire managers on one rack.
2) What screw size do the mounting rails on this Eaton B-Line relay rack take?
The rails are punched for 12-24 panel mounting holes, so you need 12-24 rack screws and cage-free tapped mounting. If your gear shipped with 10-32 hardware or M6 cage nuts, that hardware won't thread into this rack and you'll need to order 12-24 screws separately.
3) Is the Eaton B-Line SB508108UFB rack UL Listed for a telecom room?
Yes, the SB508108UFB carries a UL Listed marking, which is generally what an inspector or an institutional spec is looking for on equipment racks in a comms or electrical room.
4) What is the difference between a telco style open rack like this and an enclosed server cabinet?
This is a telco style open frame relay rack: two open rails, nothing enclosing the gear, so you get full access to both sides for patching and cable dressing and no airflow restriction. An enclosed cabinet is what you want instead when the equipment needs to be locked, dust-protected, or is sitting in a space the public can reach. For a dedicated locked comms room, the open telco rack is usually the faster one to work in.
5) What are the floor space requirements for installing the B-Line SB508108UFB rack?
Allow for a 23 inch width and a 48.6875 inch length/depth dimension at the floor, plus working clearance front and back since an open frame rack is accessed from both sides. Overhead you need more than 108 inches to stand it up.
6) How heavy duty is the steel on this B-Line open frame rack?
It's built from 11 gauge steel, a heavier gauge than the light-duty racks you see in small IDF closets, and the whole assembly weighs 126 pounds empty. That mass is part of why it stands on its own at full height.
7) Will this rack match the black finish on the rest of my equipment racks?
The finish is a flat black powder coat, not a gloss or a gray. If you're standardizing a row of racks in a data closet, that flat black is what you'd be matching to.
