B-LINE SB59919AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line SB59919AL heat deflector fit a standard 19-inch open frame rack?
Yes. The SB59919AL is built at 19 inches wide, which is the standard EIA rack mounting width, so it lands on the front rails of a standard 19-inch open frame relay rack. It projects 13 inches deep off the rails and stands 5.5 inches high, so check you have that much clear depth and vertical space in front of the equipment above it.
2) What does a heat deflector with a writing shelf actually do in a rack?
Two jobs in one part. Mounted above a piece of gear, the deflector angles exhaust heat away from the equipment sitting directly above it instead of letting it stack up the face of the rack. The flat top surface doubles as a writing shelf, so a technician has somewhere to set a laptop, a test set, or paperwork while working the rack. The SB59919AL is the heat deflector with writing shelf configuration.
3) Is the B-Line SB59919AL shelf steel or aluminum?
The body is steel, finished in brushed aluminum. So you get the load-bearing stiffness of steel with a brushed-aluminum appearance that matches brushed-finish rack rails and panels. Total weight is 2.5 lb, so it adds almost nothing to the rack load.
4) What is the correct part number to order this brushed aluminum B-Line rack heat deflector?
Order Eaton B-Line part number SB59919AL. That is the single orderable configuration: steel construction, brushed aluminum finish, heat deflector with writing shelf, 19 inch width.
5) How much vertical rack space does the 5.5 inch heat deflector take up between devices?
Plan on 5.5 inches of clear vertical space at the mounting location. On a standard 19-inch rack at 1.75 inches per rack unit, that is a little over three rack units of face height, so lay out your patch panels and switches with that gap in mind before you mount it.
6) Does this B-Line rack accessory carry any listings or certifications I can put on a submittal?
No. Certifications are listed as not applicable for the SB59919AL, so do not spec it against a UL or listing requirement. It is a mechanical rack accessory, a steel heat deflector and writing shelf, with no electrical rating attached to it.
