CAGE NUTS (10-32,12-24,M5,M6)
The Kendall Howard Cage Nuts create a threaded mounting hole for mounting equipment on to universal
rack rails commonly found in server enclosures, open frame racks, and wall mount cabinets. Universal
mounting rails, also known as cage nut style rails, are the most common and preferred type of rails used on
the market today.
• Snap-In Design
• Packaged in an aluminum tin (not bulk packs)
• RoHS Compliant
• Made in the USA
Snap-in Design - Captive nut and spring steel cage features wings that can be compressed to snap into the
square holes found in universal/punched panel rails. Unlike slide on cage nuts, this design locks the nut
securely in place.
Easily Replaced - Take away the hassle of dealing with stripped holes in tapped rails. If you strip a cage
nut they can easily be replaced in the field, saving you time and money.
Choose Your Size - Using universal rack rails and cage nuts gives you the flexibility to use what ever size
hardware you prefer. You can even use multiple sizes in the same installation. So now you can use smaller
rack screws and cage nuts for lightweight rack shelves, cable managers, and spacer blanks, and larger
hardware for heavier equipment such as servers, UPSs and KVM switches.
Added Strength - The construction and materials used are better suited for threading than what is used in
full size tapped rails. This provides a stronger, more durable fastening solution.
