B-LINE SB862812S078EW – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the B-Line SB862812S078EW, a rack or a cable manager?
It is not a rack frame you mount gear into. The SB862812S078EW is an RCM rack mounted vertical cable manager, double sided, with a low density plastic gate style front. It bolts to the side of an open frame rack and gives you a vertical cabling section for routing patch cords and power cabling up the rack. You still need the rack itself.
2) Will this vertical cable manager fit alongside a 7-foot open frame relay rack?
Yes. At 72.625 inches tall it matches the usable height of a standard 7 foot (84 inch overall) open frame rack, and it is narrow, 2.625 inches wide by 2.75 inches deep, so it adds only about 2-5/8 inches to the overall footprint width of the rack line-up. Check your aisle clearance on both sides if you are ganging multiple bays.
3) Is the SB862812S078EW white finish the same white Eaton uses on its racks and ladder rack?
The finish is Eaton white powder coat, the same finish family used across the Eaton B-Line series, with black plastic components for the gate and trim. If you are matching existing Eaton white-finish racks in a telecom room, it will read as the same white rather than an off-white substitute.
4) Does this cable manager have doors on both the front and the back?
It is a double sided manager, so it routes and covers cable on both faces rather than only the front. The closures are the low density plastic gate style, which snap over the bundle and let you push cable in without removing a full hinged door.
5) Is this UL listed for a data center or institutional install?
Yes, UL is the stated certification on the SB862812S078EW, which is usually what a facilities or institutional spec calls for on rack-mounted electrical and telecom support hardware.
6) Should I use a narrow vertical manager like this or a wide 6 or 10 inch channel?
A 2.625 inch wide channel like the SB862812S078EW suits a rack with moderate port counts, or a run where the main job is getting a vertical PDU and its cords tidy, since it mounts a PDU directly. High density patching, 48-port panels stacked through the rack, outgrows a 2-5/8 inch channel quickly, and there you want a wider vertical manager instead. The gate style here is also specified as low density plastic gate, which is the lighter-duty closure of the family.
7) Is this aluminum cable manager light enough for one tech to hang on an existing rack?
It weighs 11.2 lb and the body is aluminum, so a single installer can hold it against the rack rail while starting the fasteners on a 72.625 inch run. Awkward more than heavy, given the length.
8) What part number do I put on the purchase order for this Eaton B-Line white vertical manager?
Order it as Eaton B-Line SB862812S078EW. That single manufacturer part number covers the white, double sided, 72.625 inch vertical cable manager, so there is no separate finish or length suffix to add.
