StarTech.com M5 Rack Screws and M5 Cage Nuts - 20 Pack

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

These StarTech M5 rack screws and cage nuts are exactly the kind of boring “makes everything fit” consumable you’ll be glad you ordered after you’ve had a couple of projects stall because a rack didn’t match what you expected. At ~£16.76 ex-VAT for a 20-pack, the price feels reasonable for B2B use—especially if you’re a small reseller/IT provider doing occasional installs where the cost of one wasted trip or half-hour of faffing outweighs the parts cost.

Who should buy: anyone fitting M5 cage nuts into 19” racks (network switches, patch panels, small rack-mount kit) and who wants decent compatibility without digging around for random hardware. They’re also a sensible “keep in the van” item—cage nuts disappear fast on site. Who should *avoid*: if you’re doing large-scale installs and already standardised on a specific rack nut/screw brand across your fleet, you may not need this particular pack. Also, if you’re unsure your rack hardware is actually M5 (common enough to be a real gotcha), check before buying—these won’t help if the rack uses a different thread size.
