B-Line Eaton series open racks, Steel, Telco gray powder coat, 79" rack mounting units spacing qty., Swing gate wall mount equipment rack

Plan the wall opening around 84 inches of height, 23 inches of width and 25.25 inches of depth off the wall. Because it is a swing gate design, you also need clearance beside it for the frame to swing out so you can reach the back of the gear, so keep that side of the wall free of conduit runs, panels or door swings.

The rack itself weighs 110 lb before any equipment goes in it. On a swing gate the load is cantilevered off the hinge side when it is open, so the anchoring has to be into structure, wood studs, steel, or solid masonry with appropriate anchors, not drywall alone. Add your loaded equipment weight to the 110 lb when the electrician sizes the fasteners.

A swing gate makes sense in a telecom closet or IDF where floor space is tight and you need rear access without pulling equipment. It hangs on the wall and pivots out so you can work behind the gear. A floor standing open frame is the better call for heavier or deeper equipment, servers, UPS units, or anything the wall would not comfortably carry. This one gives you 79 inches of mounting space at 25.25 inches deep, which suits patch panels, switches and shallow network gear.

UL Listed is stated for the SB508084XUTG, which is what most facility and spec reviewers look for on equipment racks in commercial and institutional telecom rooms. Bonding and grounding of the rack is still handled per your electrical spec on site.

Order Eaton B-Line model SB508084XUTG. That number covers the 84 inch tall, 23 inch wide, telco gray powder coat swing gate wall mount rack with 79 inches of rack mounting unit spacing.

Yes. The 23 inch overall width is the outside frame dimension; the mounting rails are spaced for standard 19 inch EIA equipment, with the extra width taken up by the rail flanges and gate frame. Size your gear by the 79 inches of vertical mounting space and the 25.25 inch depth.

Steel construction to ASTM 569, finished in telco gray powder coat. That is the standard gray used across Eaton B-Line open frame and swing gate racks, so it lines up visually with existing telco gray equipment in the same room. If your closet is standardized on black, this one will not match.
