B-LINE SB5873138TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line SB5873138TG rack work in a Seismic Zone 4 data center?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line SB5873138TG is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay closed duct rack, so it is intended for installations in the highest seismic design category. It is also UL Listed. Anchoring to the slab and any overhead bracing still has to follow the structural drawings for your site.
2) Do I need cage nuts for this Eaton B-Line network bay rack, or is it tapped?
The rails are tapped 12-24, so no cage nuts or clip nuts are needed. You mount gear with 12-24 rack screws straight into the holes. If your equipment came with M6 or 10-32 hardware, order 12-24 screws to match.
3) What is the footprint and weight of the SB5873138TG rack for floor loading?
The rack is 19 inches wide and 138 inches on the length/depth dimension, and it weighs 146.55 lb bare. Add your equipment weight on top of that when the structural engineer signs off on the floor or raised-floor loading.
4) What is a closed duct rack and how is it different from a plain open frame relay rack?
A closed duct network bay rack carries integrated vertical cable duct down the frame, so jumpers and patch cords are routed inside a channel instead of being tied to the open uprights. A plain open frame relay rack leaves you to add separate vertical managers. Pick the closed duct version for high-density copper patching in a main distribution frame; a basic open frame is fine for a few switches and a patch panel.
5) Does the SB5873138TG have a top channel for ladder rack attachment?
Yes, it is a top channel style rack, so the head of the frame is set up to tie into overhead cable runway rather than being an open top. The runway, standoff brackets and hardware are separate items.
6) Will the Telco gray finish on this B-Line rack match the other bays already in my frame room?
The SB5873138TG is finished in Telco gray powder coat, the standard central-office gray used across telecom bays, so it lines up visually with existing Telco gray lineups. The frame is steel, so the powder coat also gives you a durable surface for a room seeing constant cable work.
7) What steel is the B-Line SB5873138TG made from?
The frame is steel to ASTM A1011SS, a hot-rolled structural-quality sheet steel spec. That is the material callout to put on a submittal when the spec section asks for the rack's base metal.
