uxcell M5 x 0.8mm Cage Nut Snap-in Zinc Plated Nut for Server Rack

Description

Product Overview

The uxcell M5 x 0.8mm cage nut is engineered from high‑grade carbon steel that has been zinc‑plated to provide superior corrosion resistance and long‑term durability. Each nut measures 13 × 12 × 9 mm, fitting perfectly into standard square‑hole racks with a hook distance of 9‑9.5 mm. The snap‑in design allows the nut to be securely locked in place by simply pressing it into the square hole, where the built‑in clips on both sides hold it firmly without the need for additional tools.

With a pack of 50 pieces, this product offers a cost‑effective solution for large‑scale deployments in data centers, server rooms, and networking closets. The zinc plating not only enhances the aesthetic appeal with a sleek silver finish but also adds a protective barrier against moisture and environmental contaminants, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding conditions.

Designed for compatibility with a wide range of equipment, the M5 x 0.8mm thread size matches common server rack components, making it an ideal choice for mounting servers, switches, routers, power distribution units, and other critical hardware. The precise threading guarantees a tight, secure fit that minimizes vibration and movement, protecting sensitive electronics from mechanical stress.

Usage

These cage nuts are perfect for professional installers, IT technicians, and system integrators who need a reliable fastening solution for rack‑mount equipment. Whether you are assembling a new server rack, upgrading an existing infrastructure, or performing routine maintenance, the snap‑in cage nut simplifies the installation process and reduces downtime.

In a typical data center environment, the nuts are used to secure blade servers, storage arrays, and networking switches to the rack frame. Their self‑retaining nature means that once installed, they stay in place even under heavy load or frequent equipment changes, providing a stable platform for high‑density hardware.

Beyond data centers, the nuts are also suitable for industrial control panels, telecommunications cabinets, and custom enclosures where square‑hole mounting is required. Their versatility makes them a go‑to component for a variety of applications, from small office setups to large enterprise installations.
