Everybody in the pro AV, broadcast, IT, home entertainment, security and other industries who are involved daily in installing equipment into19” rack mounting systems know exactly what we are talking about: NUTS. Cage nuts to be more precise.
If traditional cage nuts drive you nuts, then PAS (Pro Audio Stash) launches an innovative captive nut design – the Threaded Rack Rail Clip Nut—to relieve your frustration and stress.
The PAS Clip Nuts contain a threaded extrusion which slides over the square rack rails and clips closed. That saves a lot of time as well as the pain, bruises, stabbings … (and complete and utter frustration) that you may have suffered while attempting to grapple cage nuts into place.
Once in place, the retaining bolt is then screwed through the Clip Nut in a civilised manner to secure the rack device or panel into place.
Currently the Threaded Rack Rail Clip Nuts are available in black or silver, and with M6, M5 or 10/32 threaded holes.
Says Rob Platt from PAS, “… We have been listening to people procrastinating for years about the insertion of cage nuts – a job that no one likes – and are very proud to have come up with a novel answer in the Clip Nuts…”
If the very thought of facing multiple rack population scenarios with cage nuts in hand brings you to tears, then watch the video.
