Can I use these for equipment heavier than a network switch?

Troubleshooting

Cage nut does not fit into rack hole

Ensure your rack has M6 threaded square holes. This set is not compatible with M5 or other thread sizes, or with unthreaded square holes.

Bolt does not thread into cage nut

Verify the cage nut is correctly oriented within the square hole and that the bolt is M6. Ensure no debris is obstructing the nut's threads.

Equipment feels loose after mounting

Ensure the bolt is fully tightened and that the cage nut is securely seated in the rack hole. Check that the correct M6 bolt length is being used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Push an M6 cage nut into a square hole, ensuring the nut is oriented correctly to receive the bolt.
  3. Place your rack-mountable equipment against the rack.
  4. Align the equipment's mounting holes with the installed cage nuts.
  5. Insert the M6 bolt through the equipment's mounting hole and into the captive nut.
  6. Tighten the bolt securely using an appropriate tool (e.g., a screwdriver or wrench), being careful not to overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • This set is designed for racks with M6 threaded square holes. It is crucial to verify that your rack infrastructure uses M6 threading before use.

Care:
