StarTech.com M6 Cage Nuts - 100 Pack

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

StarTech’s M6 cage nuts (100-pack) are one of those boring-but-essential bits of kit that you only notice when you *don’t* have them. If you’re fitting rack rails, side panels, or any standard M6 hardware into a typical ventilated server rack, these are the right kind of fastening because they grab properly without you needing to hold nuts in the dark. At £27.17 ex-VAT for a hundred, it’s good value for day-to-day reseller and install work—especially if you’re doing repeated builds where you’ll burn through spares and don’t want to cannibalise old hardware.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this if your install is “one-and-done” or if you’re working with a rack that doesn’t use the cage-nut style of securing (or if the thread size isn’t M6—worth double-checking before you open a box). For most UK racks and common 19" deployments, though, they’re a sensible, low-risk stock item: cheap insurance, tidy installs, and fewer faff moments on site.
