B-Line Eaton series open racks, Steel, #12-24 mounting hardware, Two mount spaces required, 200 lb load capacity, Center mount rack mounted shelf, Te

The SB5962311STG center mount shelf is rated for 200 lb. That covers most switches, patch panels, UPS units and media converters set on a shelf rather than rack-eared. The shelf itself weighs 9.2 lb.

Two mount spaces (2U) are required for the SB5962311STG. Plan two free spaces on the rails before you order, and note the shelf body is 2 inches high.

It mounts with #12-24 hardware, the standard thread on B-Line open frame racks. If your rack rails are tapped 10-32 or are square-hole cage nut rails, you will need matching fasteners rather than the #12-24 set.

The shelf measures 21.5 inches wide by 11 inches deep by 2 inches high, and is built for Eaton B-Line series open frame racks. The 21.5 inch width spans the standard rail-to-rail mounting flanges; the 11 inch depth is what limits equipment, so measure the footprint of the gear going on it.

A center mount shelf like the SB5962311STG attaches at the mid-point of the shelf rather than at its front edge, so the load is balanced across the rails instead of cantilevered forward. That suits two-post open frame racks, where a front-only mount puts all the leverage on the front rails. If you are in a four-post enclosure, a front-and-rear supported shelf is the better choice.

Steel construction with a telco gray powder coat, the standard finish on B-Line telecom rack lines, so it matches existing gray relay racks and cable runway in a comms room.

It ships in telco gray powder coat, the same finish used across the Eaton B-Line open rack line, so it blends with existing B-Line racks, ladder rack and accessories. If your room is standardized on black, this shelf will stand out.
