Description

StarTech CABCAGENUTS2 Rack Cage Nuts

Overview

The StarTech CABCAGENUTS2 provides 100 units of M5 nickel-plated cage nuts, essential for securely mounting standard 19-inch rack-mountable equipment such as servers, switches, and patch panels into server racks and network cabinets. These components ensure your gear remains stable and properly aligned, preventing vibration-related issues and simplifying installation in any data center or IT environment. The CABCAGENUTS2 model is designed for straightforward installation with standard rack rails.

Compatibility

These M5 cage nuts are compatible with any standard 19-inch server rack or network cabinet that utilizes M5 threaded square holes for mounting equipment. They are suitable for use with a wide range of rack-mountable devices, including network switches, patch panels, servers, UPS units, and AV equipment from various manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard Phillips head screwdriver or a cage nut tool to press the nut into the square hole of the rack rail. Ensure the rack rail's square hole is compatible with M5 threading. The nickel-plated finish offers moderate corrosion resistance for typical indoor IT environments.
