B-LINE SB5871096TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line SB5871096TG rack meet a Seismic Zone 4 requirement on a spec drawing?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line SB5871096TG is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay open duct rack, so it is the version to call out where the drawing specifies Zone 4 anchorage. It is also UL Listed. Anchoring hardware and the floor detail are separate from the rack itself.
2) How many rack units does this 7-foot B-Line open frame rack give me?
51 mounting spaces on a 96 inch tall frame. That is the usable panel height for switches, patch panels and rack-mount gear. Frame width is 19 inches, which is the standard EIA rack width for 19 inch equipment.
3) What does the top channel style on this Eaton B-Line rack do for cable management?
It is a top channel design, which is what makes it a network bay open duct rack: the channel across the top carries and transitions cabling from overhead ladder rack or duct down into the bay. If you are ganging several frames in a row, the top channel is what lets you run cable continuously between them.
4) Is this B-Line rack heavy enough gauge steel for loaded switch gear?
The frame is steel formed from 14 gauge material to ASTM A569, finished in Telco gray powder coat. Shipping weight of the frame itself is 119.33 lb. Load ratings depend on how it is anchored, so match the anchorage to your seismic detail.
5) Will this rack match the Telco gray equipment racks already in my MDF?
Finish is Telco gray powder coat, the standard central office gray, so it lines up visually with existing telco-gray bays. Height is 96 inches and width 19 inches, so it also matches the common 7-foot, 19 inch bay footprint already in most rooms.
6) Open frame rack or enclosed cabinet for a telecom room?
An open frame like the SB5871096TG gives you two-post access from all sides and open airflow, which suits patch fields and switches in a secured room. Pick an enclosed cabinet instead when you need locked access or the gear sits in a space anyone can walk into. This one is an open duct network bay, not an enclosure, so it offers no physical security of its own.
