B-LINE SB59919FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line SB59919FB heat deflector shelf fit a standard 19-inch open frame rack?
Yes. The SB59919FB heat deflector with writing shelf is built 19 inches wide, which is the standard EIA rack mounting width, and it is intended for Eaton B-Line series open frame racks. Depth off the rails is 13 inches and it stands 5.5 inches tall, so allow for that vertical space between the equipment above and below it.
2) Can this heat deflector be used as a general equipment shelf for a switch or a UPS?
No, treat it as a deflector and writing surface, not a load-bearing equipment shelf. It is a 5.5 inch tall angled steel panel intended to redirect exhaust heat and give a tech a place to write, and no load rating is given for it. For mounting a switch, UPS, or other gear in an open rack, order a rated vented or solid equipment shelf instead.
3) What does a heat deflector shelf actually do in an open relay rack?
It does two jobs at once. Mounted above a piece of gear, the angled steel panel pushes exhaust heat away from the equipment sitting directly above it instead of letting it stack up the rack. The top face doubles as a writing surface, so a tech has somewhere to set a laptop, a test set, or paperwork while working the rack. On the B-Line SB59919FB it is a single steel piece, 19 inches wide by 13 inches deep.
4) Is the B-Line SB59919FB shelf steel or plastic, and will the black finish match our existing racks?
Steel, with a flat black powder coat. That matches the flat black finish used across the Eaton B-Line open rack line, so it blends in with existing black relay racks and cable management in the same room. Powder coat over steel also holds up to being written on and leaned on in a telecom or MDF room.
5) Does the 13-inch depth of this shelf overhang the rails on a two-post open rack?
Yes, and it needs to. At 13 inches deep on a 19 inch wide open two-post relay rack, the panel projects well past the mounting rails to sit over the gear below it and catch its exhaust. Check your aisle clearance and any front door or cabinet swing before you commit the rack unit position.
6) What is the exact part number to order this B-Line black heat deflector writing shelf?
Order Eaton B-Line part number SB59919FB. That single number covers the steel heat deflector with writing shelf in flat black powder coat, 19 inches wide, and there are no separate finish or size options to specify.
7) How much does the B-Line SB59919FB rack shelf weigh?
2.58 lb. Light enough for one person to hold in place while starting the rail screws, which matters in an open rack where there is nothing to rest it on during install.
