B-LINE SB508096FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How much rack space does the B-Line SB508096FB swing gate wall mount rack give me?
The SB508096FB is built for 54 rack mounting units of equipment spacing, so you can plan on 54U of gear across the frame. Overall the frame measures 96 in high, 23 in wide and 39.4375 in deep.
2) What does the wall have to support for a B-Line swing gate equipment rack?
The empty frame alone weighs 114 lb, and that load hangs off the wall through the hinge side, so it acts as a cantilever once the gate is swung out. Add your equipment weight on top of that. Mount into structural framing, masonry, or a plywood backer sized for the frame plus the gear, not into drywall anchors.
3) Will standard 19 inch rack mount equipment fit this B-Line open frame rack?
Yes. The SB508096FB is an open frame rack with 54 rack mounting units of spacing, which is the standard EIA rack unit pitch of 1.75 in per U used by 19 in rack mount switches, patch panels, and shelves. The frame itself is 23 in wide overall, which is the usual footprint for a 19 in mounting width plus the uprights.
4) Should I use a swing gate wall rack or a floor-standing open frame rack?
A swing gate rack like the SB508096FB is the choice when floor space is the constraint and you still need rear access: it mounts to the wall and swings out so you can get behind the equipment for cabling and terminations. A floor-standing open frame is the better pick when the gear is heavy, deep, or when you want the rack freestanding away from a wall. Here the whole 54U of mounted load is carried by the wall, so for heavy switching or UPS gear a floor rack is the safer structural answer.
5) Is the B-Line SB508096FB rack UL Listed?
Yes, the SB508096FB open frame swing gate rack carries a UL Listing. That is the line institutional and government specs usually call for on rack and enclosure hardware, so it will satisfy a drawing note requiring UL Listed rack framing.
6) What part number do I order for the 54U black B-Line swing gate wall rack?
Order Eaton B-Line part number SB508096FB. That is the flat black powder coat, 96 in high, 54 rack mounting unit swing gate wall mount rack. It is a single configuration, so there is no separate finish or height suffix to specify.
7) What is the B-Line swing gate rack made of, and will the finish hold up in a plant or garage environment?
Steel construction to ASTM 569, finished in a flat black powder coat. That is a dry-interior finish; powder coat over sheet steel handles handling scuffs and normal closet or MDF-room conditions fine, but it is not a galvanized or stainless part, so damp, washdown, or corrosive areas will eventually show it.
