B-LINE SB5852138TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line SB5852138TG rack rated for a Seismic Zone 4 installation?
Yes. The B-Line Eaton SB5852138TG is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay closed duct rack, so it is the version to specify where local code puts you in the highest seismic category. It is also UL Listed. Anchoring to the structure per the engineer of record is still what makes the seismic rating hold in the field.
2) How many rack units does the B-Line SB5852138TG open frame rack give me?
75 mounting spaces on a frame 138 inches high and 19 inches wide. That is a tall bay, so check your ceiling height, overhead cable tray, and sprinkler clearance before committing. If the room cannot take 138 inches of frame, you need a shorter bay in the series rather than this one.
3) What gauge steel is this B-Line network bay rack, and will it hold heavy switch gear?
The frame is steel at 11 gauge to ASTM A570, which is the heavier open-frame construction used for loaded network bays rather than light patch-panel duty. Frame weight itself is 103.33 lb.
4) Will this B-Line rack match the Telco gray equipment racks already in my telecom room?
The SB5852138TG is finished in Telco gray powder coat, the standard central-office gray, so it lines up visually with existing Telco gray bays and ladder rack. It is a top angle style frame.
5) What is the difference between a closed duct network bay rack and a plain open relay rack?
A closed duct bay, like the SB5852138TG, has enclosed vertical duct sections as part of the frame to route and protect cable up the sides, which is what you want for high-count copper and fiber terminations in a central office or MDF. A plain open relay rack is just the two uprights with a top angle and relies on separate vertical cable managers bolted on. If you are running heavy cable counts and want the pathway built in, take the closed duct bay.
6) What footprint should I plan for the B-Line SB5852138TG in my equipment room?
Frame width is 19 inches and the length/depth figure is 138 inches, same as the height. Plan aisle space front and rear for access, plus overhead clearance for the top angle and cable runway. Confirm the floor can take the anchoring required for a Zone 4 bay.
7) What part number do I put on the purchase order for this B-Line seismic network bay?
Order it as Eaton B-Line SB5852138TG. That single model number covers the Telco gray, 11 gauge, Seismic Zone 4 closed duct bay with 75 mounting spaces.
