B-LINE SB5566096YZ – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line SB5566096YZ rack rated for Seismic Zone 4 installations?
Yes. The SB5566096YZ is an open duct unequal flange rack built for Seismic Zone 4, and it is UL Listed. For a data or switching room in a high seismic area, that is the rating you need on the frame itself; the anchorage detail still comes from the structural drawing for your site.
2) What hole pattern do the mounting rails use, and will standard rack screws thread into it?
The rails are tapped with 12-24 panel mounting holes, so 12-24 rack screws thread directly into the rail. No cage nuts or square-hole clips are needed, which is the usual setup for telecom and switching equipment mounted in an open frame.
3) Is an open frame rack like this the right choice, or should I be looking at an enclosed cabinet?
An open frame rack gives you access from both sides and unrestricted airflow, which suits switching and telecom gear in a controlled room. It has no doors or side panels, so it offers no physical security and no dust protection. If the equipment sits in a shared space, a public area, or a dirty environment, specify an enclosed cabinet with lockable doors instead.
4) What is the exact part number to order this B-Line seismic open frame rack?
Order it as Eaton B-Line SB5566096YZ. That single model number covers the 96 inch, 23 inch wide, yellow zinc, Seismic Zone 4 open duct rack with 12-24 tapped rails, so there are no finish or height options to specify separately.
5) What gauge steel is this Eaton B-Line rack, and what is the finish?
The frame is 11 gauge steel to ASTM A1011SS, finished in yellow zinc. Yellow zinc is a plated finish rather than paint, so it is what you match against other yellow zinc B-Line channel and runway in the same room.
6) What does top angle style mean on this B-Line rack?
Top angle refers to the angle member across the top of the frame, which is the landing point for cable runway, ladder rack, or overhead bracing. It is what lets you tie the rack into an overhead cable management system rather than routing everything from the floor.
