Strong SR-IT-CAGENUT-200 12-24 Cage Nuts 200ct

Product Description

The STRONG SR-IT-CAGENUT-200 is a 200-count pack of 12-24 threaded cage nuts designed for rack-mount installations. Cage nuts clip into the square-hole mounting rails of standard equipment racks and provide a secure, threaded fastening point for rack-mounted components such as servers, patch panels, PDUs, and AV equipment. Each nut accepts a 12-24 machine screw, the most common thread standard in 19-inch rack systems. This pack of 200 is suited for installers stocking a service van, completing a large rack build-out, or maintaining an on-site hardware inventory.

Cage nuts in the 12-24 thread size are used across residential and commercial rack-mount installations. They are a standard consumable for IT infrastructure technicians, AV integrators, and data center installers. Typical applications include populating new equipment racks, replacing stripped or missing cage nuts during equipment migrations, and supporting structured cabling installations where rack-mounted patch panels and switches require secure fastening.

Key Features

• 12-24 thread size compatible with standard 19-inch rack rail square-hole patterns
• 200-count pack reduces restocking frequency for active installers
• Clip-in cage nut design for tool-assisted or manual installation into square-hole rack rails
• Suitable for securing servers, patch panels, switches, PDUs, and other rack-mount equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement and supply cage nut for square-hole 19-inch equipment racks accepting 12-24 threaded fasteners.

Installation Notes

Cage nuts are installed by IT technicians and AV integrators using a cage nut insertion tool or flathead screwdriver to seat the nut into the square hole of a rack rail. Always confirm the rack rail accepts square-hole cage nuts before installation, as round-hole and toolless rail systems use different fastener types. Avoid over-torquing screws into cage nuts, as this can strip the threads or deform the nut body.
