Overview

The Panduit PanZone® Overhead Distribution Rack (SKU: PZLRB6UWH) is a 6 Rack Unit (RU) vertical expansion solution designed to maximize overhead space utilization in data centers and telecommunications rooms. Constructed from durable steel and finished in white, this rack provides a robust 80-pound load rating while occupying zero rack space below. Its 16.0 in. (405 mm) height, 20.3 in. (515 mm) width, and 3.3 in. (83 mm) depth dimensions are optimized for seamless integration with existing overhead cable trays, ladders, or ceiling suspension via threaded rod. The universal mounting brackets enable flexible installation in multiple configurations, including direct attachment to overhead racks, cable trays, or suspended from the ceiling using threaded rod or other hardware. This versatility allows for quick adaptation to varying infrastructure layouts without requiring modifications to existing racks or cabinets. Pre-marked rack unit identification reduces installation time, accelerating server deployments and network scalability by simplifying the alignment and placement of network equipment. The rack includes provisions for cable management, such as integrated cable routing features and mounting holes, improving routing and maintainability in high-density environments. This design ensures efficient organization of overhead cabling, reducing clutter and simplifying access for maintenance or upgrades. The 6 RU height provides ample space for distributing power strips, patch panels, or other networking components, enabling the creation of zone areas for greater scalability. This setup facilitates quicker server deployments by centralizing connectivity and reducing the need for extensive cabling adjustments. Ideal for data centers, server rooms, and telecom facilities requiring organized overhead cabling and scalable infrastructure growth, the PanZone® Overhead Distribution Rack supports efficient, high-performance network operations.

How to Install Panduit PZLRB Overhead Distribution Racks

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for assembling and mounting the Panduit PZLRB Overhead Distribution Rack onto various overhead structures such as ladder racks, cable trays, or wire grids. It details bracket positioning, securing procedures, and optional grounding.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wrench, Screwdriver

Supplies needed:

PZLRB Main Bracket, Rectangular Mounting Brackets (2), "L" Shaped Mounting Brackets (2), 1/4-20 Carriage bolts (4), 1/4-20 Carriage nuts (4), 10-32 screws, Threaded rods (optional, 1/4", 3/8", or 1/2" diameter), Nuts for threaded rods (optional), Common bonding network jumper kit (optional, Panduit Part Number RGCBNJ-3)

  1. Assemble the Main Bracket with Mounting Brackets

    Assemble the PZLRB Main Bracket with the Rectangular and 'L' Shaped Mounting Brackets. Position the Main Bracket at the desired height and depth (inboard or outboard) relative to the Rectangular Brackets, selecting the appropriate RU spacing. Secure the Main Bracket to the Rectangular Brackets using the provided 10-32 screws, ensuring all connections are firm.

  2. Position Mounting Brackets for Specific Installation

    Determine your specific mounting surface (Ladder Rack, Cable Tray, or Wyr Grid) and the desired orientation (e.g., side mount below/above, bottom mount perpendicular/parallel). Refer to Section V 'Positioning of Mounting Brackets' in the documentation to select the recommended marking or 1-inch scale for spacing the Rectangular Brackets, placing the outsides of both Rectangular Brackets on the selected markings. Adjust the 'L' Shaped Mounting Brackets as needed to align with the chosen mounting configuration on your structure.

  3. Mount the Assembled Rack to the Structure

    Carefully position the entire assembled PZLRB rack onto your chosen structure. Insert the 1/4-20 carriage bolts through the brackets and the structure, securing them with the 1/4-20 carriage nuts, initially finger-tightening all nuts. Adjust all brackets to their proper final positions, ensuring the rack is level and securely aligned, then fully tighten all carriage bolts and nuts to firmly secure the assembly.

  4. Ground the Rack (Recommended)

    Ground the PZLRB Overhead Distribution Rack by referring to the common bonding network jumper kit (Panduit Part Number RGCBNJ-3) for proper grounding procedures. Ensure all grounding connections comply with local electrical codes.
