B-LINE SB5868090TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many rack units does the B-Line SB5868090TG network bay rack give me?
The SB5868090TG provides 48 mounting spaces across a 90 inch tall frame. That is your usable panel space for switches, patch panels and rack-mount servers before you start planning overhead cable management.
2) Will 12-24 screws fit the mounting rails on this Eaton B-Line rack, or do I need 10-32?
The rails on the SB5868090TG are punched with 12-24 panel mounting holes, so your panel hardware needs to be 12-24 thread. If your existing patch panels and shelves are stocked with 10-32 screws, order 12-24 screws to match this frame.
3) Is this B-Line rack rated for a Seismic Zone 4 installation?
Yes. The SB5868090TG is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay closed duct rack, which is what a data center or central office spec in a high seismic region calls for. It is also UL Listed.
4) What footprint do I need to plan for this 90 inch network bay rack?
Plan on a frame 90 inches high, 90 inches on the length/depth dimension and 23 inches wide, and it weighs 125.23 lb bare. The 90 inch length/depth figure reflects the closed duct network bay configuration, so confirm your floor layout and aisle clearance against that before committing the room.
5) Is an open frame rack like this the right choice, or should I be using an enclosed cabinet?
An open frame rack such as the SB5868090TG leaves all four sides accessible, which is what network teams want for high-density patching and cable access, and it relies on room air rather than cabinet fans. Its closed duct design channels cable rather than enclosing the equipment. If you need lockable physical security or dust and airflow containment for servers, use an enclosed cabinet instead. For telecom bays, switch stacks and patch fields in a controlled room, the open frame is the normal spec.
6) What does the double sided configuration on this B-Line network bay rack mean for equipment mounting?
Double sided means the SB5868090TG is set up for mounting from both sides of the bay rather than a single front rail set, which is how telco network bays are typically loaded to get more gear into the same floor space. It is a top angle style frame, so overhead cable runway and ladder rack tie in at the top angle.
7) Is this B-Line bay rack a floor-mounted unit that needs anchoring?
Yes. At 90 inches tall, 23 inches wide and 125.23 lb, the SB5868090TG is a floor-standing bay rack, and because it is specified for Seismic Zone 4 it must be anchored to the slab per the seismic detail on your drawings. Budget for concrete anchors and overhead bracing to the top angle as part of the install.
8) Will the finish on this rack match the other telco racks already in my equipment room?
The SB5868090TG is steel with a telco gray powder coat, the standard finish for central office and network bay equipment. If your existing bays are the usual telco gray, it will line up visually with them.
