Eaton SBHB119K Ground Bar 1x0.2x19.4 Inches

Eaton SBHB119K Ground Bar

This copper ground bar measures 1 by 0.2 by 19.4 inches and mounts horizontally on standard equipment racks. It consolidates multiple grounding points for servers, network gear and AV equipment in data centres or AV installations. The kit includes two white insulators, twenty short screws, four longer screws with flat washers and two ground labels for clear identification. Installers can choose isolated or direct bonding depending on the site grounding scheme.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive copper conductor the bar generates no heat and produces no audible noise during operation. It draws zero electrical power and adds no thermal load to the rack environment. The solid copper construction provides a low-impedance path for fault currents without degradation over time. No active cooling or monitoring is required once the connections are torqued to specification.

Upgrade path and when it matters

The kit replaces ad-hoc grounding lugs, loose wires or painted rack rails that create high-resistance bonds. It is worth installing when equipment manufacturers require a dedicated ground bar for warranty compliance or when electrical inspectors cite inadequate rack grounding. Builders who need vertical mounting or a different hole pattern should verify compatibility before ordering. The included hardware fits standard #12-24 rack threads without modification.
