B-LINE SB745V2316SSL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton B-Line SB745V2316SSL vented shelf fit a standard 19-inch open frame rack?
Yes. The SB745V2316SSL is a rack mounted shelf measuring 17.25 inches wide with a 16 inch depth, which is the mounting width for standard 19 inch EIA rack rails (17.25 inches between rail flanges, 19 inches overall with the ears). It ships with #12-24 mounting hardware, the thread used on most open frame racks and relay racks.
2) How much weight can the SB745V2316SSL rack shelf hold?
Rated for 50 lb. That covers a small switch, a media converter, a UPS management module, or patch panel spares, but it is not a shelf for a server chassis or a heavy battery backup. The shelf itself weighs 10.7 lb.
3) Will 16 inches of shelf depth be enough for my switch?
The deck runs 16 inches deep, which handles most fixed-configuration access switches, patch equipment, and small network appliances. Deeper boxes will overhang the front or rear edge, which is workable on an open frame rack but means the unit is not fully supported, so measure the chassis depth first.
4) How much rack space does this low profile B-Line shelf take up?
The shelf stands 3.42 inches high, so it occupies 2U of vertical rack space (1U is 1.75 inches). That is what the low profile designation refers to, and it is worth counting before you order if your open frame rack is close to full.
5) Is a vented shelf the right choice, or should I use a solid one?
Go vented when the gear sitting on the shelf generates heat and relies on ambient airflow, which is the usual case in an open frame rack. The SB745V2316SSL is a ventilated steel shelf, so air moves through the deck rather than being trapped under the equipment above it. A solid shelf makes more sense only when you need to keep dust or small dropped hardware from falling through onto gear below.
6) Do I need to buy screws separately for this B-Line rack shelf?
No, #12-24 mounting hardware comes with the shelf. If your rack rails are tapped 10-32 instead of 12-24, the supplied screws will not thread, so check the rail thread on an existing screw before install.
7) What finish is the B-Line SB745V2316SSL shelf, and will it match gray racks already installed?
It is finished in silver powder coat over steel. That matches the common silver/gray open frame racks in the Eaton B-Line series line, but it will not blend into a black rack, so order accordingly if you are standardizing a room on black equipment.
