B-LINE SB596S23103SSL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many rack units does the B-Line SB596S23103SSL shelf take up in a 19 inch rack?
Plan on four mounting spaces (4U) of rack face for the SB596S23103SSL. The shelf itself measures 6 inches high, so budget the full four spaces when you lay out switches, patch panels and PDUs above and below it.
2) How much weight will this B-Line rack shelf hold?
200 lb load capacity on the SB596S23103SSL, which is a heavy duty solid steel shelf rather than a vented light duty tray. That covers most UPS units, batteries and stacked network gear sitting on a single shelf.
3) Will this shelf work in a two post open frame rack, or does it need a four post cabinet?
It is built for open frame racks and mounts double sided, meaning it fastens to the front and rear rails of the rack frame rather than hanging off the front posts alone. With 20 inches of depth supported on both sides, it is intended for a rack that gives you two rail planes to land on, not a single front-post-only mount.
4) What mounting hardware comes with the SB596S23103SSL shelf?
The shelf ships with #12-24 mounting hardware, so you do not need to source screws separately for a rack tapped #12-24. If your rack rails are 10-32 tapped or square-hole with cage nuts, you will need the matching fasteners for that rail type.
5) What are the actual dimensions of this B-Line rack shelf?
Width is 23.31 inches, depth 20 inches, height 6 inches, and it weighs 15 lb. The 23.31 inch width is wider than the 19 inch EIA panel opening because the mounting flanges extend past the rails, so check clearance if your rack sits tight against a wall or another cabinet.
6) Is a solid shelf like this a problem for equipment that needs airflow?
It is a solid steel shelf, not a vented one, so air will not pass up through the shelf pan. For a UPS, battery, tool case or a device that draws air front to back that is fine. If you are stacking a box that pulls cooling air in from the bottom, choose a vented rack shelf instead.
7) Will the silver finish on this shelf match my existing B-Line open frame rack?
The SB596S23103SSL is finished in silver powder coat over steel, which is the standard silver used across the Eaton B-Line open frame rack line. If your existing frames are black, the shelf will not match visually, though it mounts the same either way.
8) Is this shelf rated or listed for anything I need to document for a facility submittal?
No listings or agency ratings apply to this shelf; it is an unrated steel accessory rated by load only, at 200 lb. For submittals, the specifiable values are the 200 lb capacity, the four rack space requirement and the 20 inch depth.
