B-Line Eaton series open racks, Steel, Yellow zinc, 12-24 panel mounting holes, 38 mounting spaces, Top angle style, Seismic Zone 4, closed duct uneq

The SB5568096YZ gives you 38 mounting spaces on a frame 96 inches tall. That is usable panel space for 38 rack-unit positions of equipment, so it suits a full-height run of patch panels, switches and rack-mount UPS gear rather than a short wall-side frame.

The rails come with 12-24 panel mounting holes already tapped, so standard 12-24 rack screws thread straight in. No cage nuts or square-hole clips needed. If your gear ships with M6 hardware for square-hole racks, order 12-24 screws instead.

Yes. The SB5568096YZ is a Seismic Zone 4 rack, built as a closed duct unequal flange frame, which is the heavier section used where the structure has to carry seismic load. It is also UL Listed.

Plan on 23 inches of width and 96 inches of depth dimension as published, with an overall height of 96 inches. Add your own service clearance front and rear on top of that, since an open frame is worked from both sides.

An open frame such as the SB5568096YZ is the choice for a secured telecom or IT room where you want full access to cabling on all four sides and unrestricted airflow. Go to an enclosed cabinet instead when the equipment sits in shared or public space and needs locking doors, or where you need dust and contamination control. This frame has a top angle style for overhead cable tray and ladder rack attachment.

The frame itself is 101 lb. That is a two-person set and stand for a 96 inch frame, before any equipment load. Anchor it to the floor slab per your seismic detail once it is plumb.

Yellow zinc over steel is a corrosion-resistant plating meant for indoor equipment rooms and similar dry, conditioned spaces. It is not a weatherproof exterior coating, so for outdoor or wash-down areas specify a rack with a finish rated for that exposure.
