B-LINE SB556096XUAL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this B-Line open rack approved for a Seismic Zone 4 installation?
It is built as a Seismic Zone 4 rack, using the closed duct unequal flange design. That is the configuration specified for the highest seismic zone, so it suits hospital, school, and government telecom rooms where the drawing calls out seismic bracing. It is also UL Listed.
2) Do I have to drill and tap the uprights, or does this rack come with tapped holes?
The assembly holes come tapped, and the frame is self squaring, so the uprights and top angle pull square as you bolt them up without a separate squaring jig. That removes the tapping step on site for an electrical or low-voltage crew building out a closet.
3) What does double sided mean on this Eaton B-Line rack?
Double sided means the rack is drilled and usable for mounting from both faces rather than one, which is how these open frames get loaded with patch panels on one side and active gear on the other. It is an open frame, not an enclosed cabinet, so there are no doors or side panels.
4) Should I use an open rack like this or a closed cabinet for my telecom room?
An open frame like the SB556096XUAL gives you access from both sides and free airflow, and it is the cheaper, faster build for a secured, dedicated telecom or MDF room. Pick an enclosed cabinet instead when the gear sits in an open area or a space where you need lockable doors and dust control, because this frame has no doors or panels.
5) What gauge steel is the B-Line SB556096XUAL rack made from?
11 gauge steel to ASTM A570, finished in brushed aluminum. Shipping weight on the rack is 36 lb. The 11 gauge structural steel is what carries the seismic rating rather than the lighter aluminum frames sometimes used for the same footprint.
