Cage nuts are specialized fasteners widely used in industries such as telecommunications, data centers, and rack-mount systems. As their name implies, cage nuts feature a distinctive design that facilitates secure and efficient equipment installations within racks and cabinets. With their unique characteristics and functionality, cage nuts play a crucial role in maintaining equipment stability and facilitating ease of access during maintenance and upgrades.

Cage nuts are typically constructed from high-quality materials such as stainless steel or zinc-plated steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The nut itself consists of a square or rectangular base plate with uniformly spaced square holes, which serve as receptacles for mounting screws or bolts. This design enables easy insertion and captive retention of the nuts within the mounting rails or channels of equipment racks.
