B-LINE SB78706TG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the B-Line SB78706TG runway dropout kit actually do on a cable runway?
It gives cable a smooth radius where it leaves the runway and drops down to a rack or cabinet. Instead of bending copper or fiber over a bare ladder rail, the cable rides the curved aluminum surface, which protects the bend and keeps the jacket off a sharp edge. It is a universal drop-out, so it is intended to work across standard runway sections rather than one proprietary tray.
2) How does the SB78706TG dropout mount, and do I need extra hardware?
It attaches with sheet metal screws. There is no clamp assembly or threaded rod to work out, so installation is a screw-down to the runway stringer. Plan on having the sheet metal screws on hand and a driver; the fastening method is the only mounting detail specified for this drop-out.
3) Is this drop-out UL Listed for a data center or telecom room install?
The SB78706TG carries a UL Listed marking, which is what a facilities or institutional spec typically calls for on runway accessories in a telecom or data room.
4) Will the finish on this dropout match my existing Eaton B-Line telco runway?
The finish is a telco gray powder coat over aluminum, the same standard gray used across Eaton B-Line runway product. If your ladder rack is telco gray, this blends in rather than standing out. If your runway is black or another color, expect a visible difference.
5) Do I need one dropout per cable bundle or one per rack?
Each SB78706TG covers a single exit point, so order one for every place cable leaves the runway. With a 5.44 in width and 4 in depth, it handles one drop location; a rack fed from two separate runway exits needs two.
6) When ordering the SB78706TG, what is the exact part number and is there more than one version?
SB78706TG is the full manufacturer part number from Eaton's B-Line series, and it ships as a single configuration, aluminum in telco gray. There is no finish or size option to specify on the order.
