B-LINE SB117BBZ – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the B-Line SB117BBZ runway retaining post actually do in a cable runway?
The SB117BBZ is a vertical retaining post that mounts on a cable runway to increase the cable capacity fill of the runway. It stands 9.5 inches tall, so it builds up the side wall of the runway and keeps a deeper bundle of cable contained instead of spilling over the stringer.
2) Do I need to drill or bolt the SB117BBZ post to the runway stringer?
No drilling. The post uses a self wedging design that locks it onto the runway, so it clamps in place on the stringer rather than requiring a bolted or drilled connection. That makes it practical to add posts to a runway that is already loaded with cable.
3) I am running out of room on an existing cable runway. Do I have to install a wider runway?
Not necessarily. Adding SB117BBZ retaining posts raises the effective side height of the runway you already have, which is exactly what they are for, increasing cable capacity fill. Because they wedge on rather than bolt through, they can be added to a runway in service. Order a quantity based on how far apart you want the posts along the run.
4) Is the B-Line SB117BBZ retaining post UL Listed for data center and telecom rooms?
The SB117BBZ carries a UL Listed certification. That is the rating stated for this runway retaining post.
5) What is the SB117BBZ post made of, and will the finish hold up in an indoor equipment room?
It is A513 steel with a black zinc finish. Steel construction for a post that has to take side load from a full cable bundle, and the black zinc matches the typical black runway and ladder rack used in telecom and data rooms.
6) What part number do I order for the black zinc B-Line runway retaining post?
Order Eaton B-Line SB117BBZ. That is the single model covered, so there is no finish or size option to specify, the black zinc steel post is what ships.
