B-Line SB86286S096SL Eaton series open frame racks, 90.125" height, 7" length, 6" width, Aluminum, RCM rack mounted vertical cable manager single sided, Direct pdu mounting, Low density plastic gate, Silver powder coat

The channel is 6 inches wide and 7 inches deep, so plan on 6 inches of clear frame-side width and 7 inches of depth front-to-back. That footprint is what decides whether it drops in beside an existing frame in a tight closet. It is single sided, so all cable routing happens on one face.

Yes. The SB86286S096SL is configured for direct PDU mounting, so a vertical rack PDU attaches into the manager itself rather than eating rack units on the frame. That is the reason to pick this version over a plain cable-only channel.

Single sided, like the SB86286S096SL, routes cable on one face only and suits a frame placed against a wall or one where you only dress the rear. Double sided managers give you front and rear channels on the same footprint, which is what you want in a two-post frame accessed from both sides. If your patching runs front and back, this single sided unit will leave one side undressed.

It uses low density plastic gates rather than a hinged solid door. Cable routes between the snap-on gates, so you pop a gate off to lay in a bundle and snap it back. Low density means wider gaps and fewer fingers, which works for lighter cable counts; a high density gate style is the choice for heavily loaded copper runs.

UL is the certification carried on the SB86286S096SL, which is typically what a facility spec or inspector asks for on rack-mounted cable management and PDU-mounting accessories.

No, the vertical cabling section is included with the SB86286S096SL. What is not included is the rack itself or the PDU; this is the manager that mounts to an Eaton B-Line series open frame rack.
