SCHROFF Ground Cage Nut M5, pack of 100 pieces, is a threaded square cage nut designed to provide removable, secure M5-threaded mounting points for equipment installed in server racks and enclosures. The design allows easy insertion into square cage nut holes in rack rails and mounting panels and ensures reliable retention and electrical grounding where required. Supplied in a bulk pack of 100, these cage nuts simplify repetitive installation and maintenance tasks for IT and telecom infrastructure.

Advantages

The construction offers stable retention under vibration and repeated assembly cycles while enabling quick replacement without specialized tools. The bulk pack of 100 pieces reduces downtime by keeping spare fasteners on hand for large installations and routine servicing.

How to use

Identify the square-hole location on the rack rail or mounting panel, compress the cage spring tabs slightly and clip the cage nut into the hole until the cage seats flush. Insert an M5 screw through the equipment rack ear or bracket and engage the M5 thread in the cage nut. Tighten to the torque appropriate for M5 fasteners and the equipment manufacturer's recommendations. For removal, back out the screw and compress the cage tabs to disengage the nut from the rail.

Использование и уход

Store unused cage nuts in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Inspect cage retention and thread condition periodically during maintenance and replace any deformed or damaged nuts to maintain secure mounting points.
