B-LINE SB1715YZ – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the B-Line SB1715YZ tubular stringer used for?
The SB1715YZ is a tubular cable runway stringer, used to build cable runway in communication pathways such as data centers, telecom rooms, and MDF/IDF spaces. Stringers are the side rails of the runway; they run the length of the pathway and cross members tie the two rails together to form the ladder. It is UL Classified.
2) Does the B-Line SB1715YZ stringer come with cross members, splice kits, or mounting hardware?
No. The SB1715YZ is the stringer only, one tubular side rail. To finish a runway you also need cross members or tie bars sized for the 15 inch width, splice or butt-splice kits at each 119 inch joint, and your support method (wall angle, threaded rod and ceiling kit, or rack-to-runway mounting). Order those separately.
3) What gauge and steel is the B-Line SB1715YZ runway stringer made from?
11 gauge 1008 steel, manufactured to ASTM A513 tubing, with a yellow zinc finish. 1008 is a low carbon steel, and A513 is the standard for welded carbon steel mechanical tubing, which is what gives the stringer its closed tubular section rather than an open channel.
4) Is a yellow zinc finish OK for an indoor data center, or do I need painted runway?
Yellow zinc is a plated finish intended for dry indoor environments, which is where communication pathway runway normally lives. It is not a painted or powder coated cosmetic finish, so if the runway is in an exposed customer-facing space or an outdoor/wet location, specify a painted or hot dip galvanized stringer instead.
5) What is the difference between a tubular stringer and a standard channel cable runway?
A tubular stringer is a closed steel tube section rather than an open C channel. The closed section resists twist along the run and there is no open channel lip to catch cable jackets, which matters on long overhead runs and where cable drops over the side rail. Channel runway is the more common choice where you want to bolt accessories directly into the open profile. The SB1715YZ is the tubular type, 11 gauge, 15 inch width.
6) What part number do I order to match the rest of my B-Line runway?
The part number is SB1715YZ, Eaton B-Line series. The number reads out as the tubular stringer profile in a 15 inch width, yellow zinc. If the existing runway in the room is a different width, the cross members will not match, so confirm the installed runway is 15 inch before adding sections.
