B-Line Eaton series open racks, Steel, Telco gray powder coat, 12-24 panel mounting holes, Anchor plates, shims and anchors included, 42 mounting spa

The SB5879090TG gives you 42 mounting spaces on a 90 inch tall frame, so a full-height network bay with no wasted panel area. Panel rails are punched 12-24, which is the telecom standard thread rather than the 10-32 or square-hole cage nut prep found on data racks, so your panels and shelves need to be 12-24 compatible.

Yes. The SB5879090TG is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay closed duct rack, and it ships with the anchor plates, shims and anchors needed to tie it to the floor slab. It is UL Listed. For seismic work the floor anchorage is the part that gets inspected, so keep the supplied anchor plates and shims with the rack rather than substituting generic hardware.

Footprint works out from a 23 inch width and a 90 inch depth dimension on the frame, with 90 inches of height. Plan aisle clearance on both sides since it is an open frame rack with no side panels or doors, and the rack must be anchored to the floor.

An open frame rack such as the B-Line SB5879090TG leaves the equipment fully accessible from all sides and relies on room cooling, which suits a locked telecom or MDF room where physical security is handled by the door. Choose an enclosed cabinet instead when the equipment sits in a shared or public space and needs lockable doors, or when you need contained airflow. This one is a top channel style bay for cable routing across the top of a row.

Anchor plates, shims and anchors are included with the rack. What is not included is the panel mounting hardware for your equipment, so order 12-24 rack screws and any cage-free shelves or cable management separately to match the 12-24 punched rails.

At 119.6 lb the frame is a two-person lift to stand upright, and it is fabricated from 11 gauge ASTM A1011SS steel, so expect the weight to be in the uprights. Once plumbed with the supplied shims it anchors to the slab.

The finish is Telco gray powder coat over steel, the standard color used across telecom bays, so it lines up visually with existing telco-gray racks and ladder rack in the same room. Powder coat rather than paint holds up to cable pulls and equipment slides.
