What are cage nuts and how to use them?
Cage nuts are a type of fastener consisting of a (usually squared) nut in a spring-steel cage that wraps around the nut. They are used in conjunction with rack mounting screws to secure components.
IT technicians commonly use 10-32 or M6 cage nuts for installation in server racks and cabinets.
But they are available in various sizes to fit different hole sizes and rail thicknesses, although the M5 and M6 cage nuts are the most common for mounting networking hardware.
What is a cage nut used for?
Cage Nuts and clips nuts are used for mounting hardware in a server rack. A cage nut houses a standard nut in a cage with a spring.
The cage has two wings that need to be pinched together to allow the cage nut to be inserted into a square hole.
Many technicians use cage nut insertion and removal tools because these wings are sharp. This slows down the process.
The better solution is to use the /dev/mount by PATCHBOX. It is more comfortable to use, its installation is toolless and easy and it accelerates the hardware mounting process.
Are cage nuts universal?
Cage nuts and screws are universally compatible with all square-holed racks. They can be used with a wide range of panel materials and thicknesses.
What is the standard cage nut size?
There are three common sizes: 10-32, 12-24 and M6. The size you will require is determined by the product you are mounting. Our /dev/mount has cage nut dimensions of M5, M6 and 10-32.
How do you get cage nuts?
You can buy conventional cage nuts in basically every hardware store. You can purchase our /dev/mount in our online shop if you are within the EU or you can buy from our partners.
