B-LINE SB862812S084FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Eaton B-Line SB862812S084FB actually used for in a rack row?
It is an RCM rack mounted vertical cable manager, double sided, used to route lower density cabling between racks. Two vertical cabling sections handle copper or fiber runs on both the front and rear of the rack, and it uses a low density plastic gate style door rather than a solid metal cover.
2) Can I mount a PDU inside this B-Line vertical cable manager?
Yes. The mounting method is direct PDU mounting, so a vertically oriented power distribution unit attaches inside the channel instead of eating rack units in the frame. That is the usual reason to pick a 12 inch double sided manager over a narrow finger duct.
3) Is the double sided version the right choice, or do I only need single sided?
Double sided means separate front and rear cabling sections, which is what you want when patch panels face forward and switch or server cabling drops at the rear, so the two bundles never mix. If cabling only runs on one face of the rack, a single sided manager is the simpler buy. This one is specified for lower density cable runs between racks, not for heavily loaded high density trunk paths.
4) Does the B-Line RCM cable manager come with the hardware to attach it?
Fifty push-in fasteners are included, which are what secure the manager body and gates. Rack-to-manager baying hardware or PDU specific brackets are separate items depending on the rack you are bolting to.
5) Is this cable manager UL listed for a data center or government facility spec?
UL is the certification carried on the B-Line RCM vertical cable manager, which is typically what a facility or institutional spec calls for on rack accessories. No fire rating is involved on a passive cable management channel.
6) What finish is the black B-Line vertical cable manager, and will it match my existing black racks?
Flat black powder coat over aluminum, with plastic components for the gates. Flat black is the standard finish on open frame racks and cabinets, so it reads consistently next to other black powder coated rack hardware rather than matching a gloss or textured black.
7) How heavy is this 7 foot vertical cable manager for a one-person install?
It weighs 11.9 lb because the body is aluminum rather than steel, so one tech can stand up the full 79.625 in section and hold it in place while fastening.
