B-LINE SB5878084UTG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a B-Line SB5878084UTG rack hold standard 19 inch rack-mount equipment with 12-24 screws?
The SB5878084UTG is tapped with 12-24 panel mounting holes, so it takes 12-24 rack screws directly with no cage nuts or clip nuts. It gives 45 mounting spaces of usable rail height. If your gear ships with 10-32 or M6 hardware you'll need to swap to 12-24 screws for this frame.
2) What are the dimensions and weight of the B-Line SB5878084UTG network bay rack?
It stands 84 inches tall, 23 inches wide, with a length/depth figure of 84 inches, and weighs 117.22 lb. At 84 inches of height and that weight, plan on two people to stand it up and confirm your ceiling clearance and door height before it goes down the hall.
3) Is this B-Line rack rated for a seismic Zone 4 installation?
Yes. The SB5878084UTG is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay closed duct rack, which is the zone spec data centers and telco rooms in high seismic areas are written to. It is also UL Listed. Anchoring to the slab per the structural drawing is still on you.
4) What gauge steel is the B-Line SB5878084UTG rack made from?
6 gauge steel to ASTM A1011SS. That is heavy structural-quality sheet steel, which is why the frame carries a Seismic Zone 4 rating rather than being a light open rack for low-vibration rooms.
5) Will the telco gray finish match the racks already in my equipment room?
The frame ships in Telco gray powder coat over steel, the standard gray used across telco and network bay hardware, so it lines up with existing gray B-Line bays and ladder rack in the same room. If your room was built out in black, this one will not match.
6) What does the top channel style on this network bay rack do for cable management?
Top channel construction means the bay is tied together with a channel across the top rather than an open cross member, giving you a structural run to land ladder rack, runway, or overhead cable to. Combined with the closed duct design, cable is routed inside the vertical duct rather than draped across the rails.
7) Should I use an open frame network bay like this or a fully enclosed cabinet?
An open frame bay with closed duct, like the SB5878084UTG, is what you want in a secured telco or MDF room where access from both sides and open airflow matter and the duct handles the cable. Go to an enclosed cabinet instead when the equipment sits in a shared or public space and you need locking doors and side panels, or when you are containing hot and cold aisles.
8) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton B-Line seismic rack?
Order it as B-Line SB5878084UTG, part of the Eaton B-Line series open frame racks. The UTG suffix corresponds to the telco gray powder coat finish on this bay.
