B-LINE SB5779090TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Eaton B-Line SB5779090TG rack rated for a Seismic Zone 4 installation?
Yes. The SB5779090TG network bay closed duct rack is built as a Seismic Zone 4 rack, which is why it uses 6 gauge ASTM A1011SS steel rather than the lighter gauge typical of standard open frame racks. It is also UL Listed. Anchoring to the slab per the seismic detail on your drawings is still your responsibility on site.
2) How much rack-mount space does the B-Line SB5779090TG give me, and how tall is it?
It stands 90 inches tall and provides 75 mounting spaces of usable panel height. That is a full-height telco bay, so check your finished ceiling height, any overhead cable runway, and door clearance before it goes in the room.
3) What size hardware do I need for the panel mounting holes on this B-Line open rack?
The rails are punched with 12-24 panel mounting holes, so you need 12-24 rack screws and matching cage-free hardware. Equipment shipped with 10-32 screws will not thread in, and clip nuts for square-hole rails are not used here.
4) What is the footprint and weight of the SB5779090TG bay for floor loading and freight planning?
The bay is 23 inches wide, 90 inches deep by the published length/depth figure, 90 inches high, and weighs 121 pounds bare. Add your equipment weight on top of that when the structural engineer reviews floor loading, and plan on two people to stand it up.
5) What does a closed duct, top channel rack do that a plain open frame rack does not?
A network bay closed duct rack carries vertical cable duct as part of the bay, so jumpers and patch cords are contained beside the equipment instead of hanging off the rails. The top channel style gives you a continuous channel across the top for joining bays in a lineup and for landing overhead runway or ladder rack. If you are mounting a handful of switches in a small closet and doing cable management separately, a plain two-post open frame is simpler; this one is for a built-out telecom room.
6) Is 6 gauge steel overkill for a network rack?
Not for a seismic application. The SB5779090TG uses 6 gauge ASTM A1011SS structural steel because Seismic Zone 4 duty puts lateral load into the frame and the anchor points. Lighter racks are fine in non-seismic rooms, but if your spec calls out Zone 4 the frame gauge and material are part of what satisfies it.
7) Will this B-Line rack match the other telco gray racks already in my equipment room?
The finish is Telco gray powder coat, the standard color used across telecom and network bays, so it lines up visually with existing telco-gray frames. The frame is steel throughout.
