B-Line SB862812D078SL Eaton series open frame racks, 72.625" height, 14" length, 12" width, Aluminum, RCM rack mounted vertical cable manager double sided, Direct pdu mounting, Low density plastic gate, Silver powder coat

It bolts alongside the rack rather than into the mounting rails, so it consumes no RU. Footprint is 12 inches wide and 14 inches deep, standing 72.625 inches tall, which pairs with a standard full-height open frame rack. Budget the 12 inches of floor width beside the rack in your aisle layout.

Double sided. The RCM manager has two vertical cabling sections, one facing front and one facing rear, so patch cords and equipment cords stay separated on their own side of the rack.

Yes, it is built for direct PDU mounting, so a vertical rack PDU fastens into the manager channel instead of eating rack units in the frame. That is the main reason to pick this manager over a plain finger duct in a two-post open frame layout.

It uses a low density plastic gate style closure rather than a solid hinged steel door. Gates swing aside for cable access and hold a moderate bundle; for heavily filled runs with deep cable bulk you want a high density door version instead. The gate components are black plastic on a silver powder coat aluminum body.

No. The finish is silver powder coat with black plastic gate components, so it will read as silver next to black equipment. If you are standardizing a room on black frames, order the black finish version of the same RCM manager rather than this one.

Fifty push-in fasteners ship with it for the gate and panel assembly. Rack-to-manager attachment depends on the frame you are joining it to, so confirm your open frame rack's side-mount hardware is on hand before install day.

It carries UL certification, which is usually what an institutional or MRO spec sheet is asking for on rack and cable management equipment. No other rating is carried on it.

The open back design gives unrestricted front and rear access, which is what you want for patching and switch work where you are in the back of the gear constantly. Pair it with a 12 inch wide side manager like this RCM to keep the vertical runs and PDU off the rails. An enclosed cabinet is the better call when you need physical security or airflow containment, neither of which an open frame provides.

The body is aluminum with a silver powder coat finish, and the assembly weighs 22.4 lb. One person can stand it up and align it to the rack, which is a practical difference from heavy-gauge steel managers of the same height.
