B-LINE SB13ALDO18 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line Redi-Rail SB13ALDO18 dropout work on steel cable runway stringers?
No. The SB13ALDO18 dropout is built for aluminum c-channel stringer only. If your runway is steel channel, this is the wrong part and it will not seat correctly on the rung. Confirm your stringer material before ordering.
2) Do I need brackets or fasteners to mount the Redi-Rail dropout to the runway rung?
No separate hardware is needed. The dropout attaches to the rung without hardware, so there is nothing extra to order and no drilling of the rung. That keeps the install to a one-person job at the point where cable leaves the runway.
3) What does a cable runway dropout actually do, and do I need one where cable leaves the tray?
It gives cable a smooth radius as it exits the runway and turns down toward a rack or cabinet. Without one, the cable bends over the bare edge of the stringer or rung, which is where jacket damage and bend-radius violations happen on copper and fiber runs. If you are dropping bundles off the side of an aluminum Redi-Rail runway, this is the piece that protects that transition.
4) Is the B-Line Redi-Rail dropout UL Listed for data center and telecom work?
It carries a UL Listed mark, which is typically what a facility inspector or a spec on a telecom room drawing is looking for on runway accessories. The part is aluminum, matching the aluminum Redi-Rail runway it mounts to.
5) Will the finish on this dropout match my existing aluminum Redi-Rail runway?
Yes, it is supplied in a brushed aluminum finish to match Eaton B-Line aluminum Redi-Rail runway. For a facility standardizing on aluminum runway across multiple telecom rooms, the dropout will blend with the existing stringers rather than stand out as a painted or plated add-on.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the Eaton B-Line aluminum runway dropout?
Order by manufacturer part number SB13ALDO18, Eaton B-Line series Redi-Rail. That single model number covers the aluminum c-channel dropout kit, so there is no separate finish or size suffix to specify.
