B-Line SB86283S096SL Eaton series open frame racks, 90.125" height, 7" length, 3.625" width, Aluminum, RCM rack mounted vertical cable manager single sided, Direct pdu mounting, Low density plastic gate, Silver powder coat

At 90.125 inches tall, the SB86283S096SL is sized for tall open frame racks rather than a standard 84-inch (7-foot) frame, so it stands roughly half a foot above a 7-foot rack. It occupies 3.625 inches of width and 7 inches of depth, so plan for that footprint beside the rack uprights before you set aisle dimensions.

Single-sided. The RCM rack mounted vertical cable manager routes and retains cable on one face only, which suits an end-of-row position or a manager mounted against a wall or between a rack and a cabinet. If you need cable retained on both faces for a rack-to-rack gap, a single-sided unit is the wrong choice.

Yes. The SB86283S096SL is built for direct PDU mounting, so a vertical power strip fastens into the manager body instead of eating rack U space. It also includes a vertical cabling section, so power and data both run in the same channel height.

It uses a low density plastic gate rather than a solid hinged steel door. The gates flex to let you drop cable in from the side without threading it through, and they hold the bundle in place after. The gate components are black plastic against the silver powder coated aluminum body.

UL is the certification carried on the SB86283S096SL, which is what most institutional and government specs call for on rack and cable management hardware. Order it by MPN SB86283S096SL to match the spec sheet exactly.

They do different jobs. Horizontal managers dress patch cords across a single rack level; this unit is for routing cabling on and between racks vertically, carrying bundles from the top or bottom of the frame to each level. On a fully populated open frame rack you generally want both, and the vertical manager is what keeps bundles off the mounting rails.

The body is aluminum with a silver powder coat finish, so it is lighter than a steel manager of the same size and the aluminum itself does not rust. At 11.7 pounds a single installer can set it in place and fasten it without a second pair of hands.

No. This one is silver powder coated aluminum with black plastic gate components, so beside a black rack lineup it will read as a different color. If finish consistency matters across the row, specify a black finish manager instead of this silver unit.
