B-Line SB86486D066SL Eaton series open frame racks, 60.375" height, 17.875" length, 6" width, Aluminum, RCM rack mounted double sided vertical cable manager cover, Direct pdu mounting, Low density plastic gate, Silver powder coat

Yes. The SB86486D066SL is configured for direct PDU mounting, so a vertical rack PDU attaches to the manager itself instead of consuming rack units in the frame. That is the reason to pick this version over a plain cable-only channel.

No. The SB86486D066SL ships with the required number of gates and the mounting hardware, so the assembly is complete for attaching to the rack. What it does not include is the rack itself or the PDU you intend to mount in it.

Plan on 6 inches of floor width per manager and 17.875 inches of depth. Because it is double sided, one 6-inch section handles cable on both the front and rear of the rack face, so you do not need separate front and rear channels in the same bay. Depth at 17.875 inches means it sits within the footprint of a standard open frame rack rather than projecting past it.

Cable is retained by low density plastic gates rather than solid fingers or a hinged solid door. The gates open to let you lay bundles in and close to keep them in the channel, and the design is set up for unrestricted routing so you are not fighting fixed finger spacing when you dress a bundle. Gate components are black plastic against the silver powder coat frame.

UL is the certification carried on this vertical cable manager, which is typically what a facility or institutional spec calls for on rack accessories in a telecom or equipment room.

Vertical managers carry the long runs, patch panel to switch, up and down the rack face and keep them off the equipment. Horizontal managers only handle the short slack right at a panel. On an open frame rack with heavy patching you want a vertical channel first, and a double sided one like the SB86486D066SL covers front and rear cabling in a single 6-inch bay. If you only need slack management at a couple of panels, horizontal fingers are the cheaper answer.

The frame is aluminum with a silver powder coat, and the gate hardware is black plastic. Aluminum keeps the weight down at 21.7 lb for a 60-inch double sided section, which matters when one person is hanging it on a standing frame. The silver finish is the common match for silver open frame racks; it will not match a black rack line.
