B-LINE SB556108XUTG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line SB556108XUTG rack rated for Seismic Zone 4 installations?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line SB556108XUTG is built as a Seismic Zone 4 open duct unequal flange rack, so it is intended for installations where the structural authority calls for Zone 4 seismic anchorage. It is also UL Listed. Anchorage to the slab and any overhead bracing still has to follow the engineer's detail for the room.
2) How many rack units does this 7-foot B-Line open frame rack give me?
75 mounting spaces on a frame 108 in high, 19 in wide. That is a taller-than-standard relay rack, which is why the usable space runs above the 45 spaces typical of a 7-foot rack. Plan your panel and patch layout against the 75-space count rather than assuming 45.
3) Will 19 inch EIA equipment and patch panels bolt straight into this rack?
The frame is 19 in wide with 12-24 panel mounting holes on the rails, which is the standard thread for 19 inch telecom and network gear. Any panel, shelf, or switch with 19 inch EIA mounting flanges will bolt up using 12-24 screws. If your existing hardware is 10-32, you will need to change screws.
4) What is the difference between an open frame rack like this and an enclosed cabinet?
An open rack is a two-post frame with no doors, sides, or top panel. Access is from all four sides, cable runs in and out freely, and heat dissipates without fans, which is why telecom rooms and MDFs use them. The trade-off is no physical security and no dust protection. If the gear sits in a shared or public space, or needs locked access, choose an enclosed cabinet instead. This B-Line unit is the open, top angle style with an unequal flange profile for duct and ladder rack attachment overhead.
5) What does the top angle style on this B-Line rack do for me?
The top angle gives you a horizontal flange across the top of the frame to land ladder rack, cable runway, or overhead duct. It is the standard way an open relay rack ties into the room's overhead cable management. If your design routes cable underfloor instead, the top angle simply serves as the frame's top brace.
6) What is this rack made of, and will the finish match other B-Line telco racks already in the room?
Steel to ASTM A1011SS, finished in Telco gray powder coat. That gray is the standard telecom equipment color, so the frame will read the same as other Telco gray racks, runway, and cabinets in an existing MDF or IDF rather than standing out.
7) How much does the B-Line SB556108XUTG rack weigh, and can two people set it?
The frame weighs 33.5 lb. At 108 in tall that is easy enough for two people to walk in and stand up, but the height makes it awkward for one. Note the weight is the empty frame only, so your floor anchors and any seismic detail have to account for the loaded equipment on top of it.
