StarTech.com M5 x 12mm - 100 Pack Black Screws - Ideal for Server Rack & Cabinet Mounting (CABSCREWSM5B) Review

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

They have been recommended for use with expensive equipment. The screws are of good quality and should hold up well. I would like to buy a smaller package as I only needed 8 of these screws. The price is ok for 50 screws, but if you only need 8 it's a bit pricey.

I would rate them a 5 as they fit the construction perfectly, are black to match my rack and have a built in washer. However, they lack one feature: a smooth, tapered tip. make screwing perfect. 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…

I am particularly pleased with this package of cage nuts. While this certainly seems like something not to get too excited about, the last set I had was probably "heavier", but that meant I had to use pliers to bend it enough to get it to install.

I would rate these a 5 as they fit the design perfectly, are black to match my shelf and have a built in washing machine.

I needed this kit for my new network installation. (Black) along with other network equipment 1 x 24-port Gigabit switch, 1 x 10/100Mbps 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.
