Nakrętka klatkowa m_Rittal 2094.200 — cage nut for mounting panels and rails

Cage nut m_Rittal 2094.200 is a captive fastening element designed to provide secure threaded attachment points in enclosure and rack mounting rails. It inserts into square or slotted holes of mounting rails and panels, converting a plain opening into a stable, screwable thread for mounting equipment, panels and accessories in electrical and IT cabinets. The part is intended for repeated installation and replacement during assembly or maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The captive design keeps the nut aligned and retained in the mounting rail while a screw is installed, reducing the risk of misalignment or dropped fasteners. The component offers consistent thread engagement and straightforward access in confined rack or cabinet spaces. Its construction ensures reliable screw connection under typical loads encountered in panel and equipment mounting.

Suitable for

• Mounting equipment and devices in IT and telecom racks
• Fixing panels, rails and mounting brackets inside electrical enclosures
• Field assembly and maintenance tasks where replaceable threaded points are required
• Retrofitting or upgrading rack-mounted systems with additional accessories

Key specifications

• Type: captive/cage nut for square or slotted rail insertion
• Function: provides internal threaded fastening point for screw attachment
• Compatibility: designed for standard enclosure and rack mounting rails with matching cutouts
• Material and finish: corrosion-resistant metal suitable for cabinet environments (as supplied by manufacturer)
• Mounting method: snap-in or insert into rail opening, retained by cage frame

How to use

To install, align the cage nut frame with the square or slotted opening in the mounting rail, then press the nut into the cutout until it seats and the cage retains it. Insert the appropriate screw into the supplied thread and tighten to the required torque for the mounted equipment. For removal, back out the screw and disengage the cage from the rail by prying or pressing the retention tabs as applicable. Follow cabinet manufacturer guidance for accessibility and clearance when positioning nuts on rails.

Usage recommendations

Use screws of the correct thread size and length to avoid thread stripping or interference with internal components. Inspect cage nuts for deformation or corrosion during maintenance and replace damaged units. When installing multiple fasteners, tighten incrementally and evenly to ensure stable and level mounting of panels or equipment.
