Rackstuds R100 Series II Rack Mount Screws - Server Rack Screws and Cage Nuts Replacement for Server Rack Rails 19" Square Punched Vertical Rail Without Using Cage Nut tool - Red 2.22mm/0.086 100 Pack

Brilliant, just superb. A work of absolute genius. 20 seconds to fit in a square rack mount hole, rock solid, no broken nails, cut finger tips or hands stabbed as you use screwdrivers to push captive nuts into square holes. Yes, they are costly, but the time saving, ease of use, and ease of securing and removing makes these a must, anything from a 1U to 4U server can be secured given the loading of these, and network hardware is a breeze. Give up on using cage nuts with racks, use these and stop wasting time, effort, and risking finger damage.

These are just fantastic, OK more expensive that traditional rack nuts but these you can install or remove with one hand without cutting your fingers - They fit really well into standard rack rails. They do protrude from the front of the rack by a good couple of mm so if you're mixing your rack contents then if like me your OCD kicks in then you'll end up buying more.

These things are lovely, installation is a breeze, they seem really secure, basically they do everything they advertise BUT even buying a 100 pack they are 46p each! Any rack I build for work is going to need at least a hundred so normal rack screws it is.... However my rack at home is all rack studs as I like to shuffle stuff around and I like the tooless nature. Also my bag was missing 1 yellow part!

It has always been a nightmare with the nuts and screws for server racks, do you have the correct ones for metric or imperial measures? Can you get the old cage nuts off without breaking your knuckles? These marvelous little things do away with all that fuss and can even be done one handed, which is great if you are solo installing a piece of kit worth several thousand of your local currency! They are also surprisingly strong, able to take the weight of a couple servers quite comfortably... though I still recommend caution if you are going to do that. The colour of the pieces is also quite helpful if you drop the pieces as they stand out... as long as you don't have a mass of similar colour cables to search through!

Mounting equipment with rack studs is really quick - there's no risk of scratching equipment and no need for extra tools. They're surprisingly strong for a piece of plastic, something which surprised me when I racked networking equipment, but when fitted they feel just as secure as normal cage nuts. Only downside is the nut itself protrudes about an inch. If the door of your rack is near flush with the cage, you may have issues closing it. For me, it hasn't been a problem but definitely something to be aware of.

These have been a brilliant piece of kit to have for installing items on my home server rack, easy to put in, strong enough for everything I have and quick to add and remove.

Like many people, these cage nuts peaked my interest when I saw them, so I decided to buy them for my 4U rack. I'm going to keep them, but I'm not sure if these are exactly what I need for this particular rack. On a positive note, they're easy to install and once they're on, sliding 1U components into your rack becomes easy because the red screws are so long. It's easy to screw the black caps on too, but it's no quicker tightening the caps up than using a Phillips screwdriver with regular M6 screws. Of course, with the rack studs, you don't have to worry about finding a screwdriver. The benefit to using this method is that once the rack studs are on, you won't have to deal with washers and screws falling to the ground and sliding things in an out becomes simple. So I can see why so many people opt for them if they're changing things around a lot. So why am I torn? Well, from a cosmetic point of view, I don't think they look as good. Whereas regular M6 screws only pop out a few millimetres from your rack, the rack studs will make your rack appear 25mm/2.5cm deeper (around 1 inch ). If the red screws were shorter, it would be perfect. I don't think this will be a big problem for large rack setups, but with my rack only being 15cm deep to start with, it kind of looks out of place. The yellow washers look a little out of place against black racks too. I'm still in the process of setting my rack up and will possibly be adding a power strip and router, but when things are setup, I don't see me changing things around that often. Due to this, I'll probably revert back to M6 Cage nuts and screws as they're more discrete due to their smaller footprint. As I said, I'll probably keep them as I may be setting up a second rack setup somewhere else in the house later and could use them for that. If you don't mind the caps sticking out, these are undoubtedly a practical alternative to regular M6 Cage nuts and screws.

This is a game changer, making the sometimes fiddly and often awkward task of fitting cage nuts to a rack. Unfortunately for me I was trying to use them with a studio rack from the USA, so the actual rack holes were about 2 mm too small ( who knew they came in different sizes🙁) but having seen them, if they could fit I’d be ordering more tomorrow. AND as they are plastic, they prevent cosmetic scratches and marks to the front plate of your equipment, which for me is very important!

I purchased these because cage rack nuts are a pain to install and can hurt your fingers without install tools. These are simple and easy to install. You cannot use them in all deployments or with all equipment so it makes it very specific use cases. But, if I could get these for all devices in my rack, i would!

Alles ok

I recently installed the Rackstuds - R20 Rack Mount, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! These rack studs provide a fantastic, tool-less solution for securing my equipment. The installation was incredibly straightforward—just push them into place, and you’re good to go! The build quality is impressive; they feel sturdy and reliable, giving me confidence that my gear is secure. The flexibility of being able to easily add or remove equipment without any hassle is a game-changer for my setup. I also appreciate how they minimize the risk of cross-threading, which can be a problem with traditional rack screws. Overall, I highly recommend the Rackstuds - R20 for anyone looking to simplify their rack mounting process. They’ve made my life so much easier, and I’ll definitely be purchasing more for future expansions!

These make racking so much easier compared to cage nuts. Especially since I'm a home user without professional experience.

The Rackstuds R20 II have completely revolutionized the way I manage my server racks. These innovative rack screws are a huge improvement over traditional metal cage nuts, making installations and maintenance so much easier and faster. The design is ingenious—they snap into place securely and hold equipment firmly without the hassle of using tools or dealing with sharp metal edges. One of the best features of the Rackstuds is how user-friendly they are. I was able to install equipment by myself, which is often difficult with standard screws. They stay in place perfectly and allow for easy adjustments if needed. The vibrant red and yellow colors are also a plus, making it easy to spot them when working inside dimly lit racks. What really sets them apart is the durability. Despite being made of high-strength polymer, they can handle the heavy loads of my rack-mounted equipment just as well, if not better, than metal screws. I’ve never had any issues with them loosening or failing, which gives me great confidence in their performance. Overall, the Rackstuds R20 II have simplified my rack setups, made installations faster, and are much safer to use. I highly recommend these to anyone who manages server racks or IT equipment—they’re well worth the investment!
