B-Line SB5762096YZ Eaton series open frame racks, Steel, Yellow zinc, 12-24 panel mounting holes, 43 mounting spaces, Seismic Zone 4, open duct unequal flange rack, 11 gauge

The SB5762096YZ gives you 43 mounting spaces on a frame that stands 96 inches tall. That is usable rack-unit capacity for switches, patch panels and rack-mount gear, and it is the number to plan your elevation drawing against before you order.

The rails are punched for 12-24 panel mounting holes, so you mount equipment with 12-24 rack screws and cage nuts are not part of the picture. If your patch panels and switch ears were bought for 10-32 or square-hole cage nut rails, you will need different hardware.

It is built as a Seismic Zone 4 open duct unequal flange rack, which is the heaviest seismic classification and the one specified for high-risk regions like much of California. It is also UL Listed. Anchoring to the slab per the engineer's detail is still on you.

Plan for a 19 inch width and 96 inches of height, and confirm your ceiling clearance before delivery since an eight foot frame will not stand up in a room with low soffits or sprinkler heads in the way. The frame weighs 120 lb, so it is a two-person set.

An open frame like the SB5762096YZ has no doors or side panels, so cabling and airflow are unrestricted and every piece of gear is reachable from all four sides. That is what you want in a locked telecom or IDF room. If the equipment sits in a public corridor, a warehouse, or anywhere dust and unauthorized hands are a concern, a fully enclosed cabinet is the better answer, because this frame offers no physical security at all.

Steel construction in 11 gauge, which is the heavy end for equipment racks and part of why it carries the Seismic Zone 4 classification. The finish is yellow zinc rather than paint or powder coat, so expect the plated look rather than a black rack.

No. The SB5762096YZ is finished in yellow zinc, a plated finish with the characteristic gold cast, not black paint. If you are extending an existing lineup of black racks and appearance matters to the client, order a matching finish instead. If the room is behind a closed door and function is what counts, the finish difference is cosmetic only.

Order it as B-Line SB5762096YZ. That number carries the whole spec: 96 inch height, 43 mounting spaces, 12-24 tapped rails, 11 gauge steel, yellow zinc, Seismic Zone 4 open duct unequal flange design.
