B-Line SB5844140TG Eaton series open frame racks, Used to mount electronic switching equipment, Double sided, Steel, Telco gray powder coat, 12-24 panel mounting holes, Seismic Zone 4, network bay closed duct rack, Grade 33, ASTM A570

Yes. It is built as a Seismic Zone 4 network bay closed duct rack, so it is intended for the highest seismic zone classification. The frame is ASTM A570 grade 33 steel. It still has to be anchored to the floor and braced overhead per the project's structural detail, as with any tall bay.

The rails are punched with 12-24 panel mounting holes, which is the traditional telco rack thread. Equipment supplied with 10-32 or M6 cage nut hardware will not thread into it, so order 12-24 rack screws and confirm your gear's ears are drilled for 12-24 spacing.

Yes, it is a double sided bay, so equipment can be mounted from front and rear. That means you need working clearance on both faces, not just the front, when you lay out aisles.

The frame weighs 102 lb bare. That is a two-person lift at minimum given the 140 inch length, and in practice you want three hands to walk it upright and hold it while the floor anchors are set. Add your equipment load on top of that when you size anchors.

Yes, the B-Line SB5844140TG carries a UL Listed marking, which covers the submittal requirement on jobs that call for listed rack and frame product.

A closed duct bay like this one carries integral vertical duct for cable management alongside the mounting rails, which is what you want in a central office where large cable bundles have to be routed and dressed up the bay. A plain open frame relay rack is lighter and cheaper but leaves you adding separate vertical managers. Pick this one when the cable volume and the Seismic Zone 4 requirement are both driving the design.

It ships in Telco gray powder coat, the standard grey used across telco open frame bays, so it lines up visually with existing central office ironwork rather than a black data center rack finish.
