B-LINE SB5871138TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line SB5871138TG rack rated for a Seismic Zone 4 installation?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line SB5871138TG open duct rack is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay rack, so it is the version to specify where the structural drawings call for Zone 4 anchorage. It is also UL Listed.
2) How much floor space and structural load do I need to plan for this B-Line seismic rack?
Plan for a 19 inch wide footprint with a 38 inch depth dimension, and a rack weight of 456.55 lb before any equipment is loaded. On a raised floor or an upper-level telecom room, that bare weight plus your gear is what the structural engineer needs for the seismic anchorage calculation.
3) What gauge steel is this Eaton B-Line network bay rack made from?
Formed from 14 gauge steel to ASTM A569, finished in Telco gray powder coat. That is the heavier gauge used for seismic-rated bays rather than the lighter stock typical of general-purpose open frames, and the powder coat suits a conditioned indoor telecom or data room.
4) Will this Telco gray rack match the existing open frame bays already in my telecom room?
If your existing bays are the standard Telco gray, yes, this rack carries a Telco gray powder coat finish, which is the common color across telco and network bay lineups. It is an open frame rack rather than an enclosed cabinet, so it lines up visually and dimensionally with other 19 inch open bays in a row.
5) What is a top channel style rack, and why would I choose it over a plain open frame?
Top channel means the bay is built with a channel across the top of the uprights, which gives you a structural tie for overhead ladder rack, cable runway and bonding, plus the rigidity a Seismic Zone 4 bay needs. Choose it when the room has overhead cable management to attach to; a plain two-post frame with no top channel is for lighter, non-seismic installs.
6) Is this an open frame rack or an enclosed cabinet with doors?
It is an open frame network bay duct rack, not an enclosed cabinet. There are no side panels or doors, so cable access is from all sides and cooling is passive from the room. If you need locked physical security for the equipment, an enclosed cabinet is the right choice instead.
