B-Line Eaton series open racks, Steel, Flat black powder coat finish, 39-7/16", Self supporting relay rack, 11 gauge, ASTM A570

It is a self-supporting relay rack, so it stands on its own once anchored to the floor and does not need wall or ladder-rack bracing to hold it up. The frame is 11 gauge steel to ASTM A570, which is what gives a 96 inch upright the stiffness to carry loaded equipment without a top brace.

It is an open frame relay rack, not a cabinet. There are no side panels, doors, or locking enclosure, so equipment mounted in it is fully accessible from front and back and there is no forced-air enclosure to plan for. If the install is in a public corridor or a space that needs physical security on the gear, an enclosed cabinet is the right choice instead.

The upright is a closed duct section with unequal flanges: one flange is deeper than the other, which gives you a built-in wiring channel behind the mounting flange to run and retain cable up the side of the rack rather than strapping it to the outside. It is also built with a top channel, which is the horizontal member across the top of the uprights used for grounding, cable runway attachment, and squaring the frame.

UL Listed, which is the line item a facility or institutional electrical inspector normally wants on structural telecom and equipment racks. The steel is 11 gauge to ASTM A570.

What you are ordering under MPN SB5558096TG is the steel open frame rack itself. Rack screws, shelves, cable management, power strips, and the concrete anchors to fix it to the slab are separate items, so add them to the same order if the job needs them.

Shipping in at 101.84 lb, this is a two-person set even before any equipment goes in it. Plan on two installers to walk it up and hold it plumb while the floor anchors are drilled and set.
