B-LINE SB12606TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a runway retaining post like the B-Line SB12606TG actually do on a cable runway?
It is a vertical post that mounts along a cable runway (ladder rack) to keep cable bundles from spilling off the side of the tray. The Eaton B-Line SB12606TG stands 6 inches tall, so it retains a reasonably deep bundle above the runway stringer while still letting you drop cable in from the top rather than threading it through a closed channel.
2) How tall is the B-Line SB12606TG retaining post and how much cable depth will it hold?
The post measures 6 inches in height, 1.5 inches wide and .375 inches in the depth dimension, and weighs .68 lb. The 6 inch height is what determines your usable bundle depth above the runway, so if you are stacking more cable than that you will want a taller post rather than more of these.
3) Is the SB12606TG cable retaining post UL Listed for use in a telecom room?
Yes, the SB12606TG carries a UL Listed certification, which is typically what a facilities or institutional buyer needs to see on runway components going into a data or telecom equipment room.
4) What finish is the Eaton B-Line retaining post, and will it match existing gray cable runway?
It is tubular steel with a Telco gray powder coat, the standard gray used across B-Line runway and ladder rack, so it blends with existing telco gray runway rather than standing out like a black or zinc part would.
5) Is a retaining post the right choice, or should I use a full cable runway wall or waterfall instead?
Retaining posts like the SB12606TG are for holding a bundle on the runway along a straight run, spaced at intervals down the stringer. They are not a substitute for a waterfall or radius drop, which protects cable bend radius where it leaves the runway and turns down into a rack. If your concern is cable falling off the side, the post handles it; if it is bend radius at the transition, you need a drop-out or waterfall piece.
6) How many retaining posts do I need to order for a run of cable runway?
These are sold as single posts, one model, SB12606TG, so quantity is up to your layout. They are installed at intervals along the runway stringer, so count your spacing (both sides where cable is retained on both edges) and order accordingly rather than expecting a multi-pack.
7) Is the SB12606TG retaining post strong enough for heavy copper bundles?
The post is fabricated tubular steel with a powder coat finish rather than plastic or formed sheet, which is why a part this small still weighs .68 lb. That construction is what lets it take the side load from a full copper bundle without deflecting.
