B-Line SB5573084TG Eaton series open frame racks, Steel, Telco gray powder coat, 12-24 panel mounting holes, 39 mounting spaces, Top channel style, Seismic Zone 4, closed duct unequal flange rack, Grade 33, ASTM A570

Yes. The SB5573084TG is a 19 inch wide open frame rack with 39 mounting spaces on its rails, so any equipment built to the 19 inch panel width mounts to it directly. The rails are drilled for 12-24 panel mounting holes, which is the thread size you will need on your rack screws.

Yes. The SB5573084TG is built as a Seismic Zone 4 closed duct unequal flange rack, so it is the version to specify where the drawing calls for seismic anchorage in the highest zone. It is also UL Listed. Anchorage hardware to the slab is a separate line item.

The rails are tapped 12-24, so you need 12-24 rack screws (with cage nuts not required, since the holes are threaded panel mounting holes rather than square punch). Order the screws separately, and match the quantity to the number of rack units you are filling out of the 39 available mounting spaces.

It is. The SB5573084TG uses a top channel at the head of the frame, which is the flat run you land overhead ladder rack, runway, or a cable tray drop onto. If your cabling comes up from a raised floor instead and nothing sits on top of the frame, the top channel is still fine, it just is not doing any work for you.

An open frame gives you access from all four sides and the best natural airflow, and it is what most telco and MDF rooms use for patch panels and switches. What it does not give you is a locking door or dust protection, so if the gear sits in a shared space, a mechanical room, or anywhere the public can reach it, specify an enclosed cabinet instead. In a secured comms room the open frame is the normal choice.

On an unequal flange rack the two flanges of the upright are different depths, which gives you a deeper face on one side for mounting and a shallower side that keeps the cable path clear. Combined with the closed duct construction, cabling runs inside the upright rather than hanging off the side, which is why this style is common in telco and MDF rooms.

Steel to ASTM A570 grade 33, finished in Telco gray powder coat. That gray is the standard finish on telco and central office frames, so it lines up with existing gray racks rather than standing out the way a black powder coat rack would in the same row.

The bare frame weighs 91 lb. That is a two-person carry and stand-up at 84 inches of height, and it is the number to start from when you add equipment weight for a seismic anchorage calculation.
