A cage nut, also known as a captive nut, consists of a square nut housed in a spring steel cage that wraps around the nut. It’s commonly used in server racks, enclosures, and equipment cabinets to provide a threaded mounting point in square rack holes
Universal Fit: Designed for square-hole racks, typically compatible with 19” server racks and enclosures.
Strong Grip: The spring steel cage holds the nut firmly in place, preventing slippage during equipment installation.
Tool-Free Installation: Can be installed and removed using a cage nut tool or pliers – no special tools required.
Corrosion-Resistant: Often zinc-plated or stainless steel for durability and rust resistance.
Size Options: Available in standard sizes like M6, M5, or 10-32 to suit various mounting hardware.
Vibration Resistant: Ideal for securing equipment in environments subject to movement or vibration.
