B-LINE SB5878140TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the SB5878140TG rated for a Seismic Zone 4 installation?
Yes, the SB5878140TG is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay closed duct rack. The frame is 11 gauge steel with a top channel style, which is what gives it the rigidity for high seismic areas. Anchoring to the slab and overhead bracing per the engineer's drawing is still part of the install.
2) What thread size are the rail holes on this Eaton B-Line network bay rack?
The mounting rails are tapped 12-24, so panels and equipment mount with 12-24 screws rather than 10-32 or cage nuts. If your existing gear is racked with 10-32 hardware you will need to swap the screws when you move it over.
3) How many rack units does the SB5878140TG give me?
77 mounting spaces, which is the usable equipment capacity over the 140 inch height. That is considerably more than a standard 45U data center cabinet, which is the point of a tall telco bay.
4) How much does the SB5878140TG weigh, and can one person set it?
The rack weighs 153.26 lb bare. That is a two-person lift at minimum given the 140 inch length when it is lying down, and you want a third hand to walk it upright without racking the frame. Plan floor loading for the rack weight plus everything you mount in the 77 spaces.
5) Is this an open frame rack or an enclosed cabinet?
It is an open frame rack, not a cabinet. There are no side panels, no doors, and no locking enclosure, so cabling and airflow are unrestricted but there is no physical security on the equipment. If the room itself is not access controlled, an enclosed cabinet is the better choice.
6) Is the Eaton B-Line SB5878140TG UL Listed?
Yes, the SB5878140TG carries a UL Listing, which is typically what an inspector or institutional spec looks for on equipment racks in a telecom or electrical room.
7) What finish does the SB5878140TG come in, and will it match existing telco bays?
Telco gray powder coat over steel, which is the standard central office color, so it lines up visually with existing B-Line and most other telco lineups. Powder coat holds up better than paint against cable pulls and rack screws scuffing the rails.
8) What does the closed duct feature on this network bay do?
The closed duct construction routes cable inside the vertical channel rather than leaving it strapped to the outside of the frame. For a 140 inch bay with 77 mounting spaces that is a lot of vertical cable run, and the duct keeps jumpers protected and dressed instead of hanging across the rails.
