## Summary description

Cage nut M5 by SCHROFF, pack of 100 pieces. These captive nuts are designed for M5 threaded fasteners and are typically used in 19" rack and cabinet mounting to secure equipment.

## Long description

Cage nut M5 SCHROFF 100 pcs – spring steel captive nut for rack mounting are spring-retained M5 captive nuts intended for installation in square holes of 19" racks and cabinets. Each captive nut holds an M5 threaded insert inside a formed steel cage that engages with standard square rack rails. The pack of 100 provides a supply for multiple installations, replacements, or maintenance operations, enabling secure attachment of servers, panels, rails and other rack-mounted equipment.
Advantages
These SCHROFF cage nuts are made from spring steel to provide consistent clamping force and resistance to deformation during repeated screw insertion and removal. The captive cage design keeps the nut in position during installation, simplifying one-handed fitting and reducing the risk of dropped parts. Supplied in a bulk pack of 100, they reduce downtime by ensuring replacement parts are readily available and support efficient rack assembly and service tasks.
Suitable for
 Mounting servers and network equipment in 19" racks
 Securing shelves, rails and blanking panels in cabinets
 Field replacement and maintenance of rack-mounted hardware
 Pre-assembly of rack-mounted frames and enclosures
Key specifications
 Thread size: M5
 Material: spring steel
 Form: captive nut in formed cage for square rack holes
 Pack quantity: 100 pieces
 Intended mounting: 19" rack and cabinet square hole systems
How to use
Fit the cage nut into the square hole of the rack rail by compressing the cage tabs and inserting the assembly until it snaps into place, ensuring the threaded nut aligns with the hole center. With the nut retained by the cage, insert an M5 machine screw through the equipment’s mounting ear or rail and tighten to secure the component. For removal, back out the screw and lever the cage slightly to disengage if necessary. Use standard M5 screws and appropriate torque settings to avoid over-tightening and deformation of the captive nut.
Usage recommendations
Store the pack in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. When performing frequent installations or servicing, keep spare cage nuts on hand to minimize downtime. Use matched M5 screws with compatible head types (e.g., pan, hex, or countersunk) depending on the mounting hardware to ensure proper engagement and load distribution.
