B-Line SB5876096UTG Eaton series open frame racks, 200 lb, Steel, Telco gray powder coat, 12-24 panel mounting holes, 51 mounting spaces, Top channel style, Seismic Zone 4, network bay open duct rack, 11 gauge

The SB5876096UTG gives you 51 mounting spaces on a 96 inch tall frame, so you can fill the full height with 51U of switches, patch panels and rack-mount gear. Frame width is 23 inches.

Panel mounting holes are tapped 12-24, so your patch panels and equipment need 12-24 rack screws. Cage nuts and square-hole (EIA universal) hardware will not work on this frame.

Yes. The SB5876096UTG is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay open duct rack, which is what specifiers call for in the highest seismic design category, and it is UL Listed. Zone 4 performance still depends on anchoring the base to the slab and bracing per the approved drawing.

Load capacity is 200 lb of equipment. That is fine for patch panels, fiber trays, light switches and cable management, but a rack full of heavy servers or UPS units will exceed it. The frame itself is 11 gauge steel and weighs 119.6 lb.

Finish is Telco gray powder coat over steel, the standard telecom gray used on relay racks and ladder rack, so it lines up visually with existing B-Line bays and runway in a typical MDF or IDF.

It is a top channel design, meaning the upper frame member is a channel that carries cable across the top of the bay and gives you a point to tie into overhead ladder rack or runway. As an open duct network bay it has no doors or side panels, so cable drops straight into the rails from above.

An open duct network bay like the SB5876096UTG is the right pick when the room is already secured and you want full access to both sides plus easy top cable entry, typical of a telecom closet full of patch panels and switches. Choose an enclosed cabinet instead if you need locked access, dust control, or fan and filter cooling. Note the 200 lb load rating here also points this frame at network gear rather than dense server loads.
