B-LINE SB78718 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a runway dropout kit like the B-Line SB78718 actually do in a cable runway?
It gives cable a controlled exit point off the runway. The SB78718 forms a smooth radius where cable leaves the tray and drops to a rack or cabinet, so the conductors bend over a curved surface instead of a cut tray edge. That is the whole reason to add one at each drop location rather than letting cable hang over bare steel.
2) Is the SB78718 dropout UL Listed for a data center or telecom room install?
Yes, the Eaton B-Line SB78718 runway dropout carries a UL Listed marking, which is generally what an inspector or facility spec looks for on runway accessories in a telecom or data room.
3) Is this dropout aluminum or steel, and what is the finish?
Aluminum, with a telco gray powder coat. That is the standard telco gray used across B-Line runway components, so a dropout added to an existing gray runway run will match the rest of the system rather than stand out.
4) Is the SB78718 dropout light enough for one tech to mount overhead alone?
It weighs 1.1 lb. At that weight and 17.44 inches wide, a single installer can hold it in place on an overhead runway while fastening, no second set of hands needed.
5) How many dropouts do I need for a runway run?
One per cable exit point. The SB78718 is a single universal drop-out, so if you are dropping cable to six cabinets off one runway, you order six. Quantity is driven by drop locations, not by the length of the runway.
