B-Line Eaton series open racks, Steel, Telco gray powder coat, Overhead supported, 11 gauge, ASTM A570

The SB520108TG is an overhead supported rack, so it is designed to be braced overhead rather than relying on a floor anchor alone. Plan for structural attachment above the rack (ladder rack, auxiliary framing channel, or building structure) capable of carrying the 88 lb frame plus the equipment you load into it.

It is 11 gauge steel to ASTM A570, finished in Telco gray powder coat. ASTM A570 is hot-rolled carbon steel sheet and strip, and 11 gauge is the heavier end of what gets used on open frame telecom racks, which is why the frame comes in at 88 lb.

Open frame. The SB520108TG is an open rack with no doors, side panels, or top, so equipment is accessible from all sides and cooling is by room air. If you need physical security or dust control, an enclosed cabinet is the right choice instead.

Order part number SB520108TG from Eaton B-Line. That is the 108 in tall Telco gray powder coat open rack, 11 gauge steel, overhead supported.

The finish is Telco gray powder coat, which is the standard gray used across telecom support hardware, so it lines up with existing Telco gray racks, runway, and cable ladder in most central office and equipment room builds. It is a painted powder coat, not plated, so it is for dry indoor environments.

At 88 lb and 108 in tall, it is a two-person set and stand. Because it is an overhead supported design, have the overhead attachment point (runway, auxiliary framing, or structure) installed and located before the rack goes up, along with the floor anchors for the base. Fasteners for attaching to your building structure are job-specific and sourced separately.
