B-Line Eaton series open racks, Steel, Flat black powder coat, Double sided rack mounted shelf, Heavy duty, solid shelf

Double sided means the shelf mounts to rails on both the front and rear of an open frame rack rather than cantilevering off the front rails only. Both ends carry the load, which is why it is rated as a heavy duty shelf. It needs a rack with front and rear uprights at 20 inches of usable depth to land on.

The SB596V23106SFB is a solid shelf, so it gives a continuous flat deck with no perforations. That suits gear with small feet, loose accessories, batteries, or anything you do not want falling through, and it also blocks airflow from below. If the equipment sitting on it exhausts downward or relies on convection from underneath, a vented shelf is the better choice.

Steel construction with a flat black powder coat. The flat black matches the standard black finish used across Eaton B-Line open frame racks and accessories, so it blends in a rack room where the uprights and cable management are already black.

16.8 pounds bare. One person can hold it in place, but because it lands on both front and rear rails, a second set of hands or a pair of temporary support screws makes the four-corner alignment a lot easier in a loaded rack.
