B-LINE SB5568084TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many rack units does the B-Line SB5568084TG open frame rack hold?
The SB5568084TG gives you 37 mounting spaces on an 84 inch tall frame. That is the usable equipment height for switches, patch panels and rack-mount servers. If your gear list totals more than 37 RU you will need a second frame or a taller cabinet.
2) Will my rack-mount switches bolt straight into this B-Line rack, or do I need cage nuts?
The rails are punched with 12-24 panel mounting holes, so equipment fastens with 12-24 screws directly into tapped rail holes. No cage nuts or square-hole clips are involved. If your hardware shipped with M6 or 10-32 screws, order 12-24 rack screws to match.
3) Is this B-Line open rack rated for a seismic zone 4 install?
Yes. The SB5568084TG is built as a Seismic Zone 4 closed duct unequal flange rack in 11 gauge steel, which is the heavier frame used where seismic anchoring is required. It is UL Listed. Floor anchorage and any overhead bracing still follow your engineer's detail.
4) What footprint do I need to plan for this 84 inch open frame rack?
Plan on a frame 23 inches wide and 84 inches tall, with a listed depth dimension of 84 inches. It weighs 95 pounds empty, so it is a two-person set and lift onto the anchor pattern. Add your own service clearance front and rear for cabling.
5) What does the top angle style mean on a B-Line telco rack?
Top angle refers to the angle member across the top of the frame, which is what ladder rack and cable runway attach to when the tray lands on the rack. If your design brings runway overhead into the rack top, this is the configuration you want.
6) Does this open rack come with side panels or a door?
No. This is an open frame rack, not an enclosure. There are no side panels, no doors and no locking. Equipment is exposed on all four sides for airflow and cabling access. If the room is not secured or you need containment, specify an enclosed cabinet instead.
7) Is the telco gray finish on this rack going to match the racks already in my MDF?
The frame is steel with a telco gray powder coat, the standard finish on telecom equipment racks, so it lines up visually with existing telco gray frames and runway in an MDF or IDF. Powder coat over steel also holds up better to cart knocks than a painted finish.
8) What is 11 gauge steel worth on a rack frame?
Eleven gauge is the heavier steel used on racks carrying loaded switch and server stacks, and it is what pairs with the Seismic Zone 4 unequal flange construction here. Lighter gauge frames are fine for patch panels but flex under concentrated equipment weight.
