Ubiquiti UACC-RACK-PM-KIT 1U Snap-In Rack Mount Inserts
Overview
The Ubiquiti UACC-RACK-PM-KIT is a 20-pack of 1U snap-in rack mount inserts engineered to simplify standardized rack deployments across 19-inch cabinet frames. Each insert carries two vertically aligned cage nuts — the hardware backbone for secure fastening without tools. Built for integrators who deploy consistently across multiple sites or expand existing infrastructure without disrupting running equipment.
Key Features
- Toolless snap-in design: Inserts lock and release by hand, cutting labor time on installation day. No screwdrivers, no misaligned holes, no rework — a real time saver when you're commissioning multiple racks in parallel.
- 20 inserts per kit: Covers ten full 1U vertical positions (two inserts per position if stacking for taller devices) or twenty individual 1U slots. Scalable enough for a small edge deployment or expandable core stack.
- Two cage nuts per insert: Standardized M6 spacing means you use the same mounting screws across all your Ubiquiti gear — no hunting for variant fasteners between installations.
- 19-inch rack compatible: Fits all standard EIA four-post and two-post cabinets. No proprietary rails or adapters required.
- Stackable vertically: Pair multiple inserts to accommodate oversized equipment or custom mounting configurations. Maintains alignment without additional hardware.
- Consistent cage-nut alignment: Every insert positions the nuts identically, so devices slide in predictably and without binding — reduces finger-fumbling and field mistakes.
When to Choose a Different Approach
If you're hand-building bespoke rack layouts with mixed vendor equipment (Ubiquiti alongside Cisco, Juniper, etc.) that require non-standard mounting, you may need vendor-specific rail kits or angled brackets. This kit is most cost-effective and labor-efficient when deploying multiple Ubiquiti appliances — switches, gateways, NVRs — in the same cabinet.
What's in the Box
- 20 SnapMount rack mount inserts (1U each)
- Two vertically aligned cage nuts per insert (40 cage nuts total)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the UACC-RACK-PM-KIT work in my existing rack cabinet?
A: Yes, provided your cabinet is a standard 19-inch EIA four-post or two-post frame. The snap-in inserts slot into any vertical U-space without modification.
Q: Can I mix these inserts with other vendors' rack hardware?
A: Yes. The cage nuts are M6 standard, so they accept any M6 mounting bolts. However, non-Ubiquiti equipment may require different bracket styles or depth offsets — consult your other vendor's rack mounting guide.
Q: Do I need any tools to install these inserts?
A: No. The inserts snap in and out by hand. You will need a wrench or hex driver to attach your equipment to the cage nuts, but the inserts themselves install tool-free.
Q: How many devices can I mount with one UACC-RACK-PM-KIT?
A: Up to 20 single-unit (1U) devices, or 10 devices if you stack two inserts per device for 2U gear. The kit scales with your installation size.
Q: Are the cage nuts pre-installed or do I attach them myself?
A: The cage nuts ship pre-installed on each insert. Inserts arrive ready to snap into place.
Q: What is the warranty on the UACC-RACK-PM-KIT?
A: Refer to your purchase documentation or contact the vendor for warranty details. Ubiquiti typically offers a limited hardware warranty; verify the specific terms with your supplier.

The UACC-RACK-PM-KIT (often searched as UACC RACK PM KIT) is a straightforward but valuable accessory for standardizing your rack infrastructure. If you're deploying multiple Ubiquiti appliances — switches, gateways, NVRs — the 20-pack toolless inserts eliminate the friction of bespoke mounting plate fabrication or vendor-specific bracket hunting. Hand-snap installation also means you can reconfigure or expand without a powered screwdriver and zero cabinet downtime.
Technical Highlights:
- 20 inserts per kit: Covers a full 10U vertical rack section with dual-insert stacking, or twenty discrete 1U positions — enough for modest edge sites or single rack expansions without over-buying.
- M6 cage nuts (two per insert): Standardized fastener spec means you stock one bolt type across all your Ubiquiti gear. Reduces BOM complexity and field mistakes when technicians install devices weeks apart.
- Toolless snap mechanism: Measured labor win: installing twenty inserts into a cabinet takes under five minutes by hand. No screwdrivers, no power tools, no noise in an operating data center — real value in dense multi-tenant facilities.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your cabinet's vertical rail pitch (standard 19-inch EIA). Non-standard or legacy cabinets (some older telecom or audio racks) may have different U spacing and won't accept these inserts without adapter rails.
- These inserts are purpose-built for Ubiquiti appliances. If you're mixing vendors in the same cabinet, ensure the other equipment's mounting brackets are M6-compatible or can be adapted. Mismatched fasteners slow commissioning.
This kit is a good fit for integrators rolling out three or more Ubiquiti-based edge sites or expanding a core stack. If you're doing one-off installs or heavily mixed-vendor deployments, the ROI on standardized toolless inserts is lower — traditional rail kits and vendor-specific brackets may be sufficient.
