StarTech.com M5 Cage Nuts - 100 Pack, Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve ever tried to mount anything into a rack and had the “why won’t this line up?” experience, cage nuts are one of those boring essentials that genuinely save time. StarTech’s 100-pack is the kind of item you buy once and then stop thinking about it. At £26.22 ex-VAT for the pack, it’s priced like a practical reseller consumable rather than a premium gadget—good value for a workshop, IT support team, or anyone who regularly installs patch panels, PDUs, shelves, or brackets in standard square-hole racks.

I’d recommend it if you run frequent rack work (rollouts, refreshes, data cabling projects) and want spares on hand so you’re not delaying jobs waiting for a single missing part. It’s also a safe choice if you’re standardising parts across sites. The only reason not to buy is if you’re doing very infrequent installations or you know you need a specific rack thread/hole compatibility—cage nuts are “universal” only within the expected rack hole standard, so check what your rack uses. Otherwise, these are exactly the sort of small thing that reduces friction on-site.
