B-LINE SB5556096TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many rack units does the B-Line SB5556096TG open frame rack give me?
The SB5556096TG gives 43 mounting spaces on a 96 inch tall frame, so you get 43U of usable equipment height. Rails are punched with 12-24 panel mounting holes, which is the tapped thread most switch, patch panel and server ears ship for, so no cage nuts are needed.
2) Will a 19 inch patch panel or switch mount in this B-Line rack?
Yes. The frame is 23 inches wide overall, which is the standard footprint for a 19 inch EIA rail opening, and the rails carry 12-24 tapped holes for standard 19 inch panel ears.
3) Does this open frame rack come with cable management or a cabinet enclosure?
No. This is an open frame duct rack, not an enclosure, so there are no side panels, no doors and no locking. Vertical cable managers, overhead runway, ladder rack and floor anchor hardware are separate items. What you get is the 11 gauge steel frame with 12-24 tapped rails and a top channel for tying into overhead runway.
4) Will 12-24 rails work with my square hole cage nut hardware?
No. The rails on this B-Line rack are tapped 12-24, not square punched, so cage nuts will not fit and neither will M6 or 10-32 screws. Order 12-24 rack screws and any adapter brackets your gear needs.
5) How much floor space do I need for this 96 inch B-Line rack?
Plan the footprint on 23 inches of width and the stated 96 inch length/depth dimension, with the frame standing 96 inches tall. It weighs 93 lb bare, so add your equipment load when you size the floor anchorage.
6) What is an unequal flange rack and why would I choose one over a standard equal flange rack?
On an unequal flange rack the two legs of the rail channel are different depths, which sets the mounting plane off center and leaves more room on one side for cable and duct routing. That is why this one is described as a duct rack with a top channel: it is built to sit in a row under overhead cable runway. If your equipment needs to be centered in the frame, or you are mounting deep chassis from both faces equally, an equal flange rack is the better pick.
7) Can I mount equipment from both sides of this B-Line rack?
Yes, it is a double sided rack, so equipment can be racked from both faces. That suits back-to-back patch field and switch layouts in a telecom room.
8) What color is the B-Line SB5556096TG rack finished in?
The SB5556096TG carries a telco gray powder coat over the steel frame. If your existing row is white, this one will not match, so order the matching gray for the line-up or match the finish of the adjacent frames.
