Cage nut thread sizing

Asked by Maxwellb in Networking Hardware, Computer Servers, Storage Technology

Tags: server, rack, server rack, rack mount, datacenter, rack mounting, thread size

Hi Experts,

I've got a server rack with standard square holes for mounting equipment - only problem is that most of my servers are of the 'pre-square hole' era. I understand I need 'cage nuts' to convert the square holes into threaded round ones. My question is: How do I know what thread sizing I need? Is there a standard (Ha! Wouldn't THAT be nice...)? I've got Dell, Compaq and IBM servers, would each use a different sized threading?

Thanks!
