B-LINE SB13ALDO12FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton B-Line Redi-Rail dropout kit SB13ALDO12FB work on a steel stringer?
No. The SB13ALDO12FB dropout is built for aluminum c-channel stringer only. If your Redi-Rail runway is steel channel, this kit is the wrong part and you need the dropout made for that stringer material.
2) What does a cable runway dropout actually do, and do I need one where cable leaves the runway?
A dropout gives cable a smooth radius as it exits the runway and turns down toward a rack or cabinet, so the jacket is not dragged over the bare channel edge. The Redi-Rail SB13ALDO12FB does exactly that job at the exit point. Anywhere copper or fiber leaves the runway vertically, a dropout or waterfall is what protects the bend radius.
3) Is the Redi-Rail dropout kit UL Listed for a data center or telecom room install?
UL Listed, yes. That is stated for the SB13ALDO12FB Redi-Rail dropout, which matters when an inspector or a facility spec calls for listed runway components throughout the pathway.
4) Will the flat black finish on this dropout match black Redi-Rail runway already installed?
The dropout is aluminum with a flat black powder coat, which is the standard black finish used across Redi-Rail runway components. On an existing black runway it reads as part of the same system rather than a patched-in piece.
5) Does the aluminum construction matter for corrosion or grounding in a telecom room?
The body is aluminum with a powder coat rather than plated steel, so it will not rust in a humid equipment room or a damp basement pathway. Keep in mind the powder coat is an insulating layer, so treat the dropout as a cable guide, not as part of your bonding path.
6) What part number do I order for a Redi-Rail aluminum runway dropout in black?
Order Eaton B-Line SB13ALDO12FB. It ships as a dropout kit for aluminum c-channel Redi-Rail stringer in flat black powder coat.
