Eaton Specification Sheet - B449-4ZN
Feature: The B449-4ZN uses 13 gauge steel with an electro-plated finish, delivering high rigidity and robust corrosion resistance in demanding industrial environments. This construction reduces flex under cable bundles and extends service life compared with lighter brackets. Application: It is ideal for cable management along Eaton B-Line series strut channels in manufacturing floors, data centers, and process plants. Paragraph 2: Feature: Exact dimensions—2.37 in height, 4.5 in length, and 1.62 in width—provide a compact yet rigid mounting point that fits within crowded enclosures. This precise sizing minimizes space waste and supports consistent cable spacing across racks. Application: Use with standard channel nuts and hardware in Eaton B-Line systems for streamlined installation and predictable performance in new builds or retrofits. Paragraph 3: Feature: Cable saddle bracket design simplifies routing and anchoring of bundles, reducing cable abrasion and stress. This leads to fewer failures and better long-term reliability in heavy-duty automation lines. Application: Commonly deployed in process automation and industrial control environments where management of multi-cable runs is critical. Paragraph 4: Feature: Electro-plated finish and steel composition ensure compatibility with standard channel nuts and hardware, enabling easier sourcing and inventory planning. This compatibility lowers procurement risk and lead times for large projects. Application: Works with Eaton channel nuts, strut fittings, and accessories across channel-based support systems in manufacturing and data centers. Paragraph 5: Feature: Lightweight at 0.74 lb while retaining strength appropriate for mounting across multiple channels, which speeds installation and reduces labor costs during retrofit or expansion projects. This also simplifies handling during field assembly and inventory management. Application: Beneficial for multi-rack deployments, serviceability in data centers, and factory automation installations. Paragraph 6: Feature: Part of Eaton's B-Line series, with readily accessible specifications and datasheets, supports standardized purchasing and streamlined maintenance planning. Business Impact: Ensures traceability and predictable procurement for large-scale cable management deployments. Application: Aligns with channel nuts catalogs and hardware sections for consistent engineering across facilities.
