B-LINE SB5842090TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will B-Line SB5842090TG work in a Seismic Zone 4 installation?
Yes. The SB5842090TG open frame rack is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay open duct rack, and the frame is 6 gauge steel. It is UL Listed. Anchoring to the slab and any overhead bracing still has to follow your engineer's detail, but the rack itself is the Zone 4 version of the B-Line series rather than a standard-duty frame.
2) How many rack units do you get on the B-Line SB5842090TG, and how tall is it?
41 mounting spaces on a 90 inch tall frame. That is the usable panel height for switches, patch panels and rack-mount gear. If your equipment list totals more than 41 RU you need a second bay, not a taller version of this one.
3) Does this B-Line rack take standard 19 inch rack-mount equipment?
Yes. The frame is 19 inches wide, which is the standard EIA rack width, so 19 inch switches, patch panels and shelves mount straight to the rails. The rails are drilled 12-24 tapped panel mounting holes, so no cage nuts are involved, just 12-24 screws.
4) Are the rails 12-24 or 10-32? I need to know what screws to order.
12-24. The SB5842090TG rails are tapped with 12-24 panel mounting holes, so order 12-24 rack screws and washers. 10-32 hardware will not thread into these rails, and that is the most common mistake on a telco-style rack since network gear ships with mixed screw kits.
5) Does this rack come with vertical cable management or shelves?
No. The SB5842090TG is the bare open frame only, a steel two-post network bay with 12-24 tapped rails and a top angle. Vertical cable managers, horizontal managers, rack shelves, ladder rack, grounding busbar and mounting screws are all separate items. Budget those into the job so the bay does not arrive with nothing to dress cable into.
6) What is a top angle open duct rack, and when should I use one instead of an enclosed cabinet?
An open duct rack is a two-post frame with no doors or side panels, so cable comes in from overhead ladder rack or duct and drops straight onto the rails. The top angle style on the SB5842090TG gives you a flat angle across the top of the frame for attaching runway, ladder rack or overhead duct. Use an open rack where cabling density and access matter and the room is already secured. Use an enclosed cabinet where you need physical security, dust control or forced-air containment, since an open frame gives you none of those.
7) What is the footprint I need to allow for this rack on the floor plan?
Work to 19 inches wide with a 90 inch length/depth dimension on the frame itself, plus service clearance front and rear. Since this is an open two-post bay with no doors, you do not need door swing clearance, but you do need working room behind it for patch and power, and overhead space for the duct or ladder rack that lands on the top angle.
8) Is the B-Line SB5842090TG UL Listed for a spec that requires listed rack hardware?
Yes, the rack carries a UL Listed marking. That covers the submittal line item many institutional and government specs include for equipment racks. The part number to put on the submittal is SB5842090TG from Eaton B-Line.
9) How much does the B-Line SB5842090TG rack weigh empty, and does it take two people to set?
82.46 lb bare, as a 6 gauge steel frame 90 inches tall. It is a two-person lift and stand purely because of the length, not the weight. Plan your floor anchors before standing it up; the empty weight is nothing compared to the loaded weight once gear is in the 41 spaces.
10) Will the finish match the other telco racks already in my equipment room?
The SB5842090TG is finished in Telco gray powder coat over steel, which is the standard gray used across the B-Line open frame line, so it lines up with existing telco bays rather than standing out as a black cabinet would. If your room is standardized on black, this frame will not match it.
