B-Line Eaton series open racks, Steel, Silver powder coat, 79" rack mounting units spacing qty., Swing gate wall mount equipment rack

The SB508084XUSL gives you 79 inches of rack mounting unit spacing on a frame that stands 84 inches overall. At 1.75 inches per rack unit, 79 inches of mounting space works out to about 45U of usable EIA mounting height, so it takes a full-height run of patch panels, switches and rack-mount UPS gear on a wall rather than needing a floor cabinet.

Plan on a footprint of 23 inches wide by 25.25 inches deep and 84 inches of vertical wall height for the B-Line SB508084XUSL. Because it is a swing gate rack, the whole frame pivots off the wall for rear access, so you also need clear floor space to the swing side equal to at least the 25.25 inch depth, plus room for a technician to stand behind it once it is open. Don't mount it where a door swing or conduit drop crosses that arc.

The rack itself weighs 110 lb empty, and that is before any equipment goes on it. A swing gate hangs its whole load off the wall on a hinge, and when the gate is open the load is cantilevered, so the mounting has to be into structure: wood studs, steel studs with proper backing, a plywood backboard through to framing, or concrete/CMU with appropriate anchors. Drywall anchors alone won't hold it. Get the total of rack plus equipment weight before you size the fasteners.

Pick the swing gate when you need to get behind the gear. A fixed wall bracket holds equipment flat to the wall and you work on the cabling blind; the SB508084XUSL pivots the full 79 inches of mounting space away from the wall so you can reach terminations, rear ports and power on the back of every unit. That is the right call for patch fields and switch stacks that get re-cabled. If the closet has no clear floor to the side for the gate to swing, or the gear is never touched from behind, a fixed rack is the simpler install.

Yes, the SB508084XUSL open frame swing gate rack is UL Listed. For institutional and government spec work where enclosure and rack listings get checked at inspection, that is the line to reference on the submittal.

It is an open frame equipment rack sized in rack mounting units, with 79 inches of that mounting space, so standard rack-mount panels, switches and shelves mount to it in the normal way. The 25.25 inch overall depth is what limits you: deep servers and long UPS chassis will overhang the frame. Check the depth of your deepest chassis against that number before you commit the closet to a wall rack.

Order by manufacturer part number SB508084XUSL from Eaton's B-Line series. That single number fixes the 84 inch height, 23 inch width, 25.25 inch depth, 79 inches of mounting space and silver powder coat finish, so every closet you spec it into comes out identical. Note it is a bare open frame: vertical and horizontal cable management, rack screws, and any grounding kit are separate line items you will need to add to finish the build.

Steel frame with a silver powder coat. Powder coat is a baked finish, so it handles the knocks and handling of a working MRO environment better than wet paint, and the silver reads as standard equipment-room grey against most existing B-Line and competitor racks already in the room. It is an open frame, so there is no gasketing or dust protection; for dirty or wet areas you want an enclosed cabinet instead.
