A cage nut, also known as a captive nut or clip nut, is a small,
square-shaped nut that has a spring clip attached to it. The clip,
which is usually made from spring steel, holds the nut in place in
a square hole inside a server rack or other piece of equipment. The
cage nut provides a threaded anchor that allows you to attach
screws to secure equipment, such as servers, network switches, and
patch panels, in place.
Using a cage nut has a number of key benefits. First and foremost,
it provides a secure and reliable way to attach equipment to a
server rack or other piece of equipment. This is essential for
preventing damage to the equipment during transit or when it is in
use. Additionally, cage nuts are easy to install and remove, which
makes equipment maintenance and upgrades faster and more efficient.
Another important benefit of using a cage nut is its versatility. Cage nuts are available in a wide range of sizes, so they can be used in almost any type of equipment that requires a threaded anchor for screws. Additionally, they can be used with a variety of different types of screws, including standard Phillips head screws, as well as smaller, finer-thread screws that require a smaller thread.
When installing equipment using cage nuts, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First, it is important to select the right size and type of cage nut for your equipment. You should also choose the right type of screw, and ensure that the screws are tightened to the correct torque specification.
