B-LINE SB5871108TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line SB5871108TG rack hold a full 58 rack units of equipment?
The SB5871108TG open frame rack is built with 58 mounting spaces on a 108 inch tall frame, so you can populate all 58 rack units of panel, switch and patch equipment. It is a two post open rack, not an enclosure, so every mounting space is accessible from both sides.
2) Is this B-Line open rack approved for a Seismic Zone 4 data room?
Yes. The SB5871108TG is specified as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay open duct rack, and it carries a UL Listing. It is the rack to use where the structural drawings call for Zone 4 seismic rated equipment mounting.
3) How much floor space and ceiling height do I need for a 108 inch B-Line network rack?
Plan for a 108 inch overall height, so the room needs at least nine feet of clear height plus room to stand the frame up during install. The frame measures 19 inches wide and 108 inches in the length/depth dimension, and it weighs 127.18 lb bare, before any equipment. Seismic anchorage to the slab is part of the install for a Zone 4 rack.
4) What gauge steel is the Eaton B-Line SB5871108TG rack made from?
14 gauge steel to ASTM A569, finished in Telco gray powder coat. That is the standard hot rolled commercial quality sheet spec, and the powder coat is the same gray used across the B-Line telecom rack line, so added ladder rack, duct and accessories match visually.
5) What does the top channel style on this network bay rack do for cable management?
Top channel construction gives you a continuous channel across the top of the frame, which is what you land overhead cable runway and duct on. That is the point of the network bay open duct configuration: cable enters from the top through the duct rather than from beneath a raised floor.
6) Should I use an open frame rack like this or a fully enclosed cabinet for my telecom room?
An open two post frame like the SB5871108TG is the right call in a secured, dedicated telecom or MDF room where you need fast both sides access to patch panels and no airflow restriction. Choose an enclosure instead when the rack sits in a shared or public space and you need locking doors, or when you need to contain hot aisle airflow. This frame has no doors, side panels or locks, and it is designed for top entry cabling through duct.
7) Can I add more B-Line racks in a row to build out a bay?
Yes, it is a network bay rack, meant to be ganged side by side into a continuous lineup with overhead duct running across the tops. Every frame in the row is 19 inches wide, so you can lay out the row on those centers, and ordering the same SB5871108TG model keeps mounting space count and Telco gray finish consistent across the bay.
