B-LINE SB1709YZ – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a tubular stringer used for in a cable runway install?
The B-Line SB1709YZ tubular stringer is the side rail of a cable runway system, used for cable runway in communication pathways. Two stringers run parallel and cross members tie between them to form the ladder rack that carries copper and fiber above racks and cabinets. It is the structural rail, not a complete runway section.
2) How long is the B-Line SB1709YZ runway stringer and how wide is the runway it builds?
The stringer is 119 inches long and 9 inches wide, with a stated height of 119 inches in the spec data as well. The 9 inch dimension is the stringer depth that sets the runway profile. Plan your ceiling or wall support spacing around the 119 inch run so splices land where you have anchorage.
3) Is B-Line tubular cable runway UL Classified?
Yes. The SB1709YZ tubular stringer is UL Classified, which is typically what an inspector or institutional spec is asking for when cable runway is used as an equipment grounding path or listed pathway.
4) Does the SB1709YZ come as a complete runway with cross members and mounting hardware?
No. What ships is the tubular stringer itself, the side rail. Splice kits, cross members, wall angle or ceiling support kits, and hardware are ordered separately, so build your bill of material for the full run before you order rails.
5) Is the yellow zinc finish on this B-Line stringer suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
Yellow zinc plating on the SB1709YZ is an indoor finish. It is plated 1008 steel meant for telecom rooms, data centers and equipment spaces. For wet, corrosive or exterior runs you want a hot dip galvanized or stainless runway instead.
6) What steel standard and gauge is the B-Line SB1709YZ runway stringer made to?
It is 11 gauge 1008 steel tubing manufactured to ASTM A513, the standard for electric resistance welded carbon steel mechanical tubing. That is the grade a spec engineer is looking for on a submittal for tubular cable runway.
7) What model number do I order for the 9 inch yellow zinc B-Line tubular stringer?
Order Eaton B-Line part number SB1709YZ. The SB17 prefix is the tubular runway stringer, 09 is the 9 inch width, and YZ is the yellow zinc finish.
