StarTech.com M5 x 12mm Screws and Cage Nuts (100 Pack) - Black, for Server Rack/Cabinet Review

Even if you don't need them right away, no hardware comes with extras. Some even come with less than you need. So get these

Although they are no longer the cheap supplier they used to be, their products work and are still affordable. Good, stable source for many expansion cards and other products.

I love the all matte black look of the screws and they secure switches and routers with ease. The cage nuts are a bit tight at first, but they work and do the job.

These cage nuts are much easier to install than the previous ones I had. They are installed with a simple touch of your finger. some of them were useless. They also come with an installation tool, but I haven't had to use it yet.

I would rate them a 5 as they fit perfectly, are black to match my rack and have a built in washer. Unfortunately, I read an article on this topic by an IT snob who has enough experience to know what perfection is, but it's too late for me. I went through most of the two 50 packs on a 9U rack because I replaced a lot of the chrome or otherwise improper nuts that came with the installed hardware. I also recommend a nut setting tool with pliers. (Luxury cage nut insertion/extraction tool)

I needed this package for my new network installation. other network equipment 1 x 24-port gigabit switch, 1 x 10/100 Mbit/s 24-port switch. These are very high quality bolts and nuts and also easy to fit compared to plastic bolts. The plastic that came with the kit I used was really difficult to install and remove, especially when you have a full rack of equipment. The only reason I didn't rate 5 runs is because I only needed 16 of them. I would like a smaller package.
