Description

StarTech CABSCREWM5 M5 Rack Screws

Overview

The StarTech CABSCREWM5 provides 50 units of M5 x 12mm steel screws, nickel-plated for corrosion resistance. These are essential for physically securing rack-mountable equipment such as servers, switches, and patch panels into standard 19-inch server racks and cabinets. Proper fastening ensures equipment stability and prevents accidental dislodging during maintenance or operation, critical for maintaining network uptime.

Compatibility

These M5 screws are designed for use with standard rack-mount equipment that features M5 threaded mounting holes. This includes a wide range of IT and AV equipment, ensuring broad compatibility across most server rack installations. They are suitable for use with StarTech.com rack enclosures and cabinets, as well as third-party rack systems that utilize M5 mounting hardware.

Installation Notes

Each screw measures 12mm in length, providing sufficient thread engagement for most standard rack-mount ears without being excessively long. The M5 thread pitch is standard for many networking and server devices. The nickel-plated steel construction offers durability and resistance to environmental factors within a typical data center or server room. A standard Phillips head screwdriver or a T20 Torx driver (depending on the specific equipment's threaded inserts) is typically required for installation.
