What size rack is this for?

This set is suitable for standard 19-inch and 10-inch rack cabinets.

Can I use these for equipment that is not 19-inch or 10-inch rack mountable?

Are the washers metal or plastic?

The included washers are made of plastic.

What is the screw thread size?

Troubleshooting

Bolt will not thread into the captive nut.

Ensure the captive nut is correctly seated and aligned within the rack panel's square hole. Check that the bolt is M6 and undamaged. Try re-seating the captive nut.

Captive nut does not stay in place.

Verify that the square hole in your rack panel is the correct size and shape for an M6 cage nut. Ensure the nut's 'wings' are properly engaged in the panel.

Missing components in the pack.

Double-check the packaging for any small bags or compartments. If components are still missing, contact the retailer for a replacement set.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides all necessary components (nuts, bolts, washers) for rack mounting.
  • Standard M6 threading ensures wide compatibility with most data and studio racks.
  • Captive nuts offer a secure and stable mounting solution.
  • Suitable for a variety of rack-mountable equipment.
  • Includes plastic washers to help prevent scratching or damage to equipment surfaces.

Cons

  • Only includes M6 size, not compatible with other thread sizes.
  • Bolts are a fixed length (16mm), which may not be suitable for all equipment depths.
  • Plastic washers may not offer the same level of protection as metal washers in high-vibration environments.
  • Requires specific rack panel cutouts for the captive nuts to function correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, first insert the M6 captive nut into the square hole of your rack panel. Ensure it is oriented correctly so the bolt can thread into it. Once the captive nut is seated, align your equipment with the rack and insert the M6 bolt through the equipment's mounting ears and into the captive nut. Tighten the bolt securely using a screwdriver or appropriate tool.

Compatibility: This set is designed for rack panels with M6 threaded mounting holes or square cutouts compatible with M6 cage nuts. It is suitable for standard 19-inch and 10-inch rack cabinets, flight cases, and studio racks. Verify that your equipment's mounting points and your rack system utilize the M6 standard.

Care: These cage nuts and bolts require minimal care. Keep them in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. After installation, periodically check that bolts remain securely tightened, especially if the rack is subject to vibration or movement.
