Panduit R4P23CN 23IN DEEP 4POST RACK CAGENUT

Overview

The Panduit R4P23CN is a 23-inch deep cage nut kit designed for securing equipment within standard 4-post server and network racks. This accessory provides the necessary hardware to properly mount devices like network switches, servers, or patch panels, ensuring they are stable and protected in a rack environment. Its specific depth is intended for racks that accommodate equipment requiring a particular mounting depth, preventing overhang and ensuring a clean installation. The R4P23CN model is essential for building out or maintaining structured cabling systems and data center infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cage nut kit is compatible with standard 4-post racks that utilize the universal square-hole mounting pattern. It is designed to work with Panduit's own rack systems and is also interoperable with most other manufacturers' 4-post racks that adhere to EIA-310 standards. The 23-inch depth specification is critical for racks where internal mounting depth is a limiting factor, such as certain wall-mount racks or compact floor-standing enclosures. It is suitable for mounting standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard cage nut tool or a flathead screwdriver to insert the cage nut into the rack's square mounting holes. The included screws then thread into the cage nut to secure the equipment. Ensure the rack's internal depth is at least 23 inches to accommodate the equipment being mounted. Torque specifications for the screws should follow standard rack-mounting practices to avoid stripping the cage nut or damaging the equipment chassis.
