B-LINE SB166BBZ – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the B-Line SB166BBZ butt-splice clamp actually do in a cable runway installation?
The SB166BBZ is a butt-splice clamp kit for joining two cable runway stringers end to end, so a continuous ladder run can be built from multiple sections. It bridges the two stringer ends rather than supporting the runway itself, so you still need your wall, rack, or ceiling supports at the specified intervals.
2) Is the B-Line SB166BBZ runway splice UL Listed for a data center or telecom room build?
Yes, the SB166BBZ splice kit is UL Listed, which is what most telecom and data center specs call for on runway hardware. That listing is the only rating carried on the part.
3) How do I make sure I'm ordering the right B-Line runway splice for the runway I already have?
Order by the part number, SB166BBZ, which is the black zinc Eaton B-Line splice, and match it to black B-Line cable runway of the same stringer depth. Splice kits are sized to the stringer channel they clamp onto, so confirm the stringer depth of your existing run before ordering. If your runway is a different finish, the plated or painted version of the splice is the one to get for a consistent look.
4) What is the SB166BBZ splice made of, and will the black zinc finish hold up in an indoor equipment room?
It is structural steel, specifically ASTM A570, with a black zinc finish. That combination is intended for dry indoor use such as equipment rooms and data centers, and the black finish matches black runway rather than plated or aluminum sections. For wet, corrosive, or outdoor exposure you want a hot-dip galvanized or stainless splice instead.
5) Does the SB166BBZ come with the bolts and hardware, or do I have to buy fasteners separately?
It ships as a clamp and kit, so the splice hardware is included in the package. What is not included is anything for hanging or supporting the runway itself, such as wall angle, threaded rod, or ceiling kits. Order those separately.
6) Can I use a butt-splice clamp to make a corner or a tee in cable runway?
No. A butt splice joins two stringers in a straight line only. Direction changes, tees, and elevation transitions need the dedicated junction, corner, or radius fittings for the runway system, not the SB166BBZ.
