B-LINE SB862812S108SL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line SB862812S108SL a rack or a vertical cable manager?
It's a vertical cable manager, not a rack frame. Eaton B-Line lists the model as an RCM rack mounted vertical cable manager, double sided, built to route lower density cabling between open frame racks. You still need the racks themselves; this bolts on to manage the cable runs beside them.
2) Can I mount a vertical PDU inside this cable manager?
Yes. The manager supports direct PDU mounting, so a vertical rack PDU can be secured inside the 7 inch deep channel instead of eating rack units in the frame. Confirm your PDU's length against the 102.375 inch overall height of the manager.
3) Does this Eaton B-Line cable manager route cable on both the front and rear of the rack?
Yes, it's a double sided manager with two vertical cabling sections, so you get front and rear channels in one unit. That's what makes the 12 inch width worth the floor space in a row where patch cords and equipment cords both need to be dressed.
4) What kind of doors or covers does this cable manager use?
It uses a low density plastic gate style rather than solid hinged metal doors. Gates swing out of the way for cable access and are suited to lighter cable fill; if you are packing a high density fiber or copper run, a full depth manager with solid doors is the better choice.
5) Is hardware included with the B-Line SB862812S108SL, or do I need to order fasteners separately?
Fifty push-in fasteners ship with the unit, which covers the gate and component attachment. Rack-to-manager mounting bolts for your specific frame are a separate consideration depending on the rack you are tying into.
6) Is this B-Line cable manager UL listed for a commercial data center install?
UL certification is carried on this Eaton B-Line vertical cable manager, which is typically what a facility or institutional spec calls for on rack infrastructure. The frame is aluminum with a powder coat finish.
7) How much floor space does the SB862812S108SL take up between two racks?
Plan on a 12 inch gap in the row. The manager is 12 inches wide and 7 inches deep, so it sits between adjacent frames and adds a foot to the overall row length per manager. At 14.8 lb it is a one-person lift, though the 102.375 inch length makes it awkward to handle alone.
8) Will the silver finish match existing Eaton B-Line open frame racks in my data room?
The unit is silver with a silver powder coat body and plastic gate components, on an aluminum frame, which is the standard B-Line silver used across their open frame rack line. For a facility standardizing a row, it matches silver racks; it will stand out against black equipment racks.
