B-Line SB86486D078SL Eaton series open frame racks, 72.625" 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

Direct PDU mounting is built in. The SB86486D078SL is set up to take a rack PDU on the manager itself, so you are not buying separate PDU brackets to hang a vertical strip in the cable channel. That is the usual reason to pick this version over a plain manager cover.

It is the RCM rack mounted double sided vertical cable manager cover, supplied with the required number of gates and the mounting hardware. The gates are the low density plastic style, so the finger openings are wider spaced for bulk cable bundles rather than tight individual dressing.

No. This one is a silver powder coat aluminum body with black plastic components, so against an all black rack lineup it will read as a mismatch. If the aesthetic matters in a visible MDF or lobby-adjacent room, source the black finish version of the same RCM manager instead.

Double sided, like the SB86486D078SL, opens from both front and rear and keeps the two cable paths separated in one 6 inch channel. That is what you want between two open frame racks or where you are running both copper and power vertically. A single sided manager only makes sense at the end of a row where there is no rear access, or where you only have front patching to dress.

UL is the certification carried on the SB86486D078SL. For institutional and healthcare procurement that is the line item most spec reviewers look for on rack accessories.

26.3 lb. It is a 72.625 inch aluminum assembly, so it is manageable for one installer to handle but awkward to hold plumb while starting fasteners at that height. Two people go faster on a full row.

The gate design allows unrestricted routing of cable, and the low density gate style means fewer, wider fingers, so large bundles drop in and the gate closes over them rather than forcing you to split the bundle. If you need tight, disciplined per-port dressing, a high density gate version is the better choice.
